AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:
This car was imported from the United States in 2008 and has always belonged to the same family, dedicated to collecting Bentley and Rolls-Royce vehicles. It was initially used as a personal vehicle and, over time, began serving at events and weddings, which is why it has received targeted maintenance aimed at ensuring its reliability. The combination of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley brands represents the pinnacle of British motor luxury; for decades, both marques shared platforms and engineering, where Rolls-Royce models embodied the utmost refinement focused on passenger comfort, while Bentley contributed a more driver-oriented nuance, making these cars highly sought after by high-end collectors worldwide.

CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
The car is painted in a two-tone combination of gray-silver with a black roof for several years now. The paint preserves a strong shine but presents several defects visible in the photographs. In the lower areas and along the sides under the doors there is some superficial rust and a few small bubbles where the paint has lifted slightly due to rust, though very localized and without flaking.

MECÁNICA:
The engine starts well and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly and functions correctly. Having been unused for a while, the battery discharges and the car is harder to start than normal, so a thorough general service and a battery replacement are recommended.

INTERIOR:
The interior was completely reupholstered in faux leather and is clean and in very good condition. The interior woods were restored a few years ago and look presented with a good presence and the natural patina that time has given them.

DOCUMENTACIÓN:
The vehicle has its US import history registered in 2008.

RECOGIDA:
The car is located in Aranjuez (Madrid, Spain). If it is awarded, the buyer must arrange pickup directly at this location.

OTRA INFORMACIÓN:
It is recommended to review the attached photographs to appreciate the specific details of the paintwork and finishes of the vehicle.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
