Hi Tom:
 
I see that you are still being tasked with the dispersal sale of these  cars.
 
I think that we discussed the values of the RR and the Daimler in the past  
but if not, let me know and we can do that now. Unfortunately, the market has  
taken a marked turn for the worse in the intervening period of time and at 
this  time trying to dispose of a  RR Silver Shadow alone could be difficult  
at 
best unless it is in excellent condition and not in need of mechanical work  
nor a cosmetic restoration. This is just not a well-received model of Rolls  
Royce which further limits its market to those RR folks who do have an affinity 
 
for the model but these are not nearly as plentiful as the aficionados of 
either  the preceding nor subsequent models.
 
The Daimler is an even tougher sale as the marque is neither well  recognized 
nor are its enthusiasts as active in pursuit of finding such a car.  
Additionally, it is a right-hand drive car that might go over well across the  
Atlantic, but can be a real deal killer or at least a price killer in the 
CONUS.  I 
think, not as an appraisal, simply as a research-oriented enthusiast, that if  
you can still the $4k deal jump on it. Daimler limos, just like the Austin  
Princess are orphan cars when equipped with RHD. No offense intended, but I  
don't think that I personally would give you that amount for the pair in 
today's  
economy.
 
Best of luck, and if you get a "fire sale" offer on the Shadow drop me  a 
line. Sorry, but I don't think I know of anyone with an interest in the  
Daimler 
but if you want to throw it in with the "fire-sale" price on the  Shadow I'd 
put it on the same trailer. I'm finally adding a lift in the new  garage and 
these cars could be good "training aids" for one of the most inept  DIY guys 
(me) known to man.
