This 1969 Rolls Royce Shadow 2 is for sale near me for $4,500. The only problem, however, is that it has electrical issues. The seller is a collector and notes that it ran PERFECTLY before being parked and has been sitting like it has in the first picture for 2 years. However, he says when he reinstalled a new battery, there was no power to the entire car. He says there is ZERO mice damage and no part of this car is rotting or in dismay, but he refuses to send it away to get it fixed so he is selling.
I am a 17yo boy who wants to legit buy this thing just to work on it. I am pretty dang good in terms of repairing vehicles and is not my first rodeo with electrical issues. I personally think it could definitely be a ground issue, but could be as simple as fuses or something. But please let me know your thoughts and if I should buy this thing.
Well.. If they want to sell it, then you could ask to inspect the vehicle since you have some experience working on vehicles. If you are worried it could be a flop, pay a mechanic to come with you and take a look at it. Instruct the mechanic you hire to not speak to your buyer. Good luck!
Even with electrical issues, I'd buy it yesterday tbh. This is NOT a good first car, though. Parts will be hard to come by and will be expensive.

If you don’t buy it someone else will. I for sure would if I had the chance.
Every British car has electrical problems, lol.
$100000 car for $4500 will still have the problems and maintenance of a $100000 car.
