Delivered new to Japan in left hand drive form, this incredible car left Pyms Lane and was shipped across the Pacific Owen to its first lucky owner. In 2008 the car was acquired by previous owner, where the RR would resided in one of largest and most prestigious collections. Since been acquired by DD CLASSICS, over £9,000's worth of mechanical refreshment has been carried out. These include the following:

• Steering rack removed and rebuilt
• Fuel system cleaned with new fuel pump
• Injectors tested and overhauled, hoses, fuel damper assembly
• New valve boost control 
• Stripped cylinder head
• Replaced broken pushrod 
• Change filters and spark plugs

Panel fitment is critical in particular to these long wheel base cars and this car ticks all the boxes. The Connolly leather is all completely original with no wear to the piping, the top role leather around the heater vents has not lifted up and the leather is smooth and soft. The hide is not hard and stiff, the shape of the seats are correct throughout, the Burr Walnut is mirror finish including the picnic tables. The best reflection of how one of these cars should have been maintained is to inspect the Wilton carpet, we always pay a particular amount of attention to this when we are buying these cars. Correctly looked after this weave is made to last a life time. The Wilton throughout this example even inside the boot is as new with no sign of wear. 

Accompanying the car we have the complete tool set, Japanse title and factory dating certification on file.
