Hi James. Adrian is my old man. I just wanted to pass my sincere and heartfelt thanks to you for your understanding, openness and help. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to visit dad. He has long been a fan of your channel and I know he would have really enjoyed talking about odd cars with another enthusiast. As others have said, top bloke.

Thanks for buying my dad's Mitsubishi last month, helped us out a lot as we had a lot of things to deal with in short order after that, so it was a blessing we had one less thing to worry about. He passed away just into the new year bless him 😟

The Rolls looks absolutely sublime. As other posters have mentioned, possibly a good raffle car for the hospice. My thoughts and prayers for Adrian and his family.

[@chrispenn715]

Interesting bunch of cars. I had a blue Silver Shadow 2 about 20 years ago. Great fun cars and capable of long trips if you can afford the fuel. Mine was very reliable. The braking system is a potential high cost to service or repair. Needs special RR brake. Fluid and (from memory) has three circuits. The front pads were the same as a cortina but there were 2 calipers each side. Engines pretty solid if maintained. Lovely cars

[@ChopsGarage]

It's a beaut

What a lovely thing to do. Ref the Motorhome - don't be tempted to hit it with a pressure washer, it'll destroy the seals around the joints. Use a snow foam and you can use a pressure washer on a soft setting - but an extending brush/ microfibre mit is the best for cleaning it. Don't forget to get the bike rack for the back - it'll be useless to them and hard to replace. Best money on this will be once it's had a habitation check and service - great time to sell it

[@ChopsGarage]

Yes I traded as not sure on whole prep side

[@c11yan]

there are no seals on the body - one piece sides over lapped into each other with grp over cappings.

You would do well with motorhomes in your location - you have a nice polite professional reasonable sales process, good margins compared to cars, and the people that buy them are buying a leisure vehicle their attitude compared to cars is so nice. You are selling their second home / dream it’s so different to car sales. Plus they don’t depreciate so can sit in stock a year it doesn’t matter.

[@ianbrown5924]

Its great that the family have entrusted a proper genuine fella to sell the vehicles. They will be looked after, 100%.

That Shadow is likely worth £25k but could be much more it’s exceptional it’s best placed with a classic car dealer the Rapido might not be car licence most likely 3650kg they go for ~ £32-35k will sell easily sought model and sensible price point.

[@ChopsGarage]

I think your price on Rapido is based on the average 35k miles ones this has 85 I think 28k ish on value. Unladen it's 3250kg so just don't fill tanks til you get there

[@c11yan]

@ pretty sure that model is plated at 3650 or 3750kg so c1 licence - it will sell regardless. It’s worth more than £28k very sought after vehicles. It will probably sell within two weeks - end of Feb / first week of March is prime time to resell.

[@tomwinch9107]

Top one James - and you read my mind on the hospice being the recipient of the raffle profits! You really are the best car dealer on KZbin - next time I'm looking for a car I'll try to buy from you Would the Rolls be of interest to the chap you traded the scratched SUV to (the log book?), and possibly the merc? I'd assume there's a big difference between trade-in and retail price on a motor caravan as there's so much to go wrong (and a habitation service (to check all the gas appliances and wiring us safe) isn't cheap - I had one on a caravan in 2008 that took about 6 hours and was about £300 then!) Surprised Royston hasn't told you the values of all 5 vehicles and commented on their mot history /likely engine/gearbox faults ... Onwards and upwards Chops!
