[DeTomaso] NPC- how to sell a 1972 Rolls-Royce?

[Mike & Elizabeth]

Bring-a-Trailer does a great job helping you with putting an ad together, and they have a service that will send a professional photographer to shoot the car for the ad.  They would probably want to contact a local Mercedes or Jaguar dealer to find who they would recommend for a high-end detailing.  That said, the old Rollers don't command a lot of money, even when they are in good condition.  The Achilles heel as I understand it, and Asa Jay will likely chime in here, is the hydraulic system used for the suspension.  If it has not been maintained, it can be hideously expensive to get it working properly.  I believe the early '70's Silver Shadows had hydraulic suspension on both the front and the rear whereas the later cars only used it on the rear.

I used to.  Long ago in another life I used to work on Rolls Royce.  Very nice cars, awesome wood accents, overstuffed leather seats, interesting little details, smooth.

I don’t know any brokers these days.  They need a grandson or daughter who can build a great ad for BaT.
