I, as I am prone to do IF I have the time, stopped at ‘1A Relics‘, on Rte 1A, just outside of ‘Ellsworth‘, Maine, on my way to ‘Acadia‘, last week. ‘Motocar’ is next door. What is the ‘1A Relics’ building was their SHOWROOM. I have walk around the old cars too.
Saw the Rolls from far — & was immediately drawn to it.
It is in bad shape — PLUS my days of buying ol’ British cars is DONE. Well & truly done. So, I was NOT interested.
‘Terrance Pinkham‘, the owner (who is my age), came out to chat. Very, very NICE gentleman. In future I am going to make a point to STOP just to say ‘Hello’ to him.
He is hoping somebody will buy it for the parts. That makes sense. I checked Rolls Royce GRILL and HOOD ORNAMENT prices on eBay. You can get them for CHEAPER than you might realize. So, to make it worthwhile you will have to sell more than just the grill and chrome.
Alas, the transmission is NOT original. It is a ‘new’ GM transmission.
But, I wanted to share this with YOU. Plus, I told Terrance I will do a post. SMILE.
