This car used to belong to the lead singer of the band "wet wet wet" he bought it brand new and stored it for a number of years and eventually was purchased by a friend. the turbo charger failed around the time of the purchase and the original owner sent it directly to the company where they did an engine overhaul before being shipped here.
the owner then scrapped the car and rebuilt it,so you could say its practically new now.

Thats not a rolls, its a benz, problem is, if the restorer doesn't know what car he is restoring, how good a job can he do?
Or subsequently if the owner of the car does nor know what car he is restoring why do the project anyway? something isn't adding up here.
but nice car though

From the body lines, it looks like an old Mercedes SL. Should never be mistaken for a Rolls.

first mistake they made is not bracing that chassis. They probably bent it already when trying to put it up on stands
