A rare and desirable, late MK2 version





















Car location
BethesdaHi Can we update the customer dealer page with this The Real Car Company Ltd The Real Car Company was established in 1987 by Ray Arnold & Ian Johnstone to specialise in the sale of early Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It was a hobby that 'Got out of hand'. Our interest in cars of the type that we now sell goes back to our childhoods, and ownership back to the 1970s. Gradually more cars started passing through our hands, and by 1986 we had decided to make a full-time occupation of buying and selling the cars that we love. We started with a single car (all we could afford) which we sold quickly, and before we knew it we had 4 or 5 on our hands! This was alongside another business (exhaust systems) that we were involved in at the time. In the spring of 1988 we gave up the other business, rented part of the premises that we still operate from now, and went full time. We started well in the boom years of the late eighties, which set us up well enough for us to ride the storm of recession in the years that followed. As the years went on the number of cars going through our hands increased gradually, we built up a workforce, and we now carry a stock of around 30 to 40 vehicles with nine of us here. Over the years we have gratefully received awards from the motoring press. We are always interested in acquiring cars of the type that we sell so if you know of a Rolls-Royce or Bentley for sale, anywhere in the World, particularly an early model, please let us know
2 Previous Owners, A rare and desirable, late MK2 version, which started life as an automatic with fuel injection, but converted in the mid 1980s to Triple Weber carburettors & manual gearbox. These changes are confirmed on the Aston Martin heritage certificate, which leads us to believe that the work was done by the factory or an official agent. The certificate records the engine number having been changed to VC suffix & the car carries Vantage badging, so it is fair to say that the car is to Vantage specification. Clean & tidy, smart overall, but in need of attention to the underside before being used on the road. Lots of potential, suitably priced. Chassis No. DB6MK2/4257R Reg No. WOF 500J
