Description

This Silver Shadow II, n weekly use as a pleasure vehicle, s maintained by John E Robeson Service Co., nc., f Springfield, ass., leading specialist in Rolls/Bentley and other high-end motorcars. I acquired it in 2012 in basically good condition, nd have since invested a good $15,000 in upgrading its mechanical condition, ddressing such areas as brakes, uspension, ngine seals, nd the like, y consequent asking price reflecting this investment, s it does the present condition of what is comparatively an excellent premium-grade motorcar.
As I uphold this positive assessment of this Silver Shadow's status quo, ohn Robeson has identified several areas to which future attention can be directed. These seldom are inexpensive, nd it is assumed that a buyer would expect such. This motorcar is, fter all, ver thirty-five years of age, ith inevitable repair issues, ome attending the present status quo. That is, ny owner of such a motorcar should count on spending several thousand dollars a year on maintenance-renovation. I should also caution that while a comparitively excellent example, his assessment does not bear the standard of show cars, hich this Silver Shadow II is not: it is a beautiful, ye-catching motorcar used for weekly pleasure drives (150 miles per week average), hich typically include the Catskills, erkshires, nd Adirondacks, hese mountainous terrains requiring a vehicle of outstanding reliability. I shall only say that it hanfdles wonderfully.
My reason for selling? Last year I retired, ith my income falling below where I can justify budgeting several thousand a year to keep this fine motorcar at the level it deserves. And, here is an issue of maintaining domestic tranquility involved, y wife being patently unhappy with what I spend at Robeson's. To be sure, would love to see it acquired by someone with the resources to fully restore it!
