In early 2013, the auction of Coys of Kensington took place in Birmingham. At the auction was an interesting lot - personal car of the legendary Freddie Mercury Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 1974, which decided to sell singer Kashmir. The starting cost was 9000-12,000 pounds of sterling. In order to acquire a rare car, Andrei on equal rights took part in the auction. But he had to bargain for the lot on the phone. Danilko is a long-standing fan of Mercury and with special attention monitors the personal things of the artist, which periodically appear at the auction. They say Serdyuchka has already collected a whole collection.
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 1974 release. .
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow himself, if it were not for his owner, it is impossible to call a rare car, since it was produced almost 20 years. The salon of this model is decorated with calf leather, walnut wood, carpets made of natural wool. Auto has power windows, telephone and cassette player. Under the hood of the machine is the 6.75-liter V8 engine, which is combined with an automatic transmission.
It is noteworthy that the Queen leader enjoyed the car until death in November 1991. After the death of Freddie, the car remained at the disposal of his sister. She tried to save Rolls-Royce in almost the same condition, in which he was when they used the singer. According to rumors, in the glove compartment, the car even remained the packaging of wipes belonging to Mercury, which the family did not dare to pick up after his death. The last time Rolls-Royce was operated in 2002, during the premiere of the Music "We Will Rock You". Since then, about 100 thousand kilometers remained on its odometer. It is curious that the car has the Tekhosmot-Ra Castle of the UK Ministry of Transport, which operates until February 2013.
Danilko refuses to talk about their purchase and course. He is also silent about the ultimate Rolls-Royce price, which, according to English media, is about 74 thousand pounds of sterling (this is a little more than 3.5 million rubles). The only thing Andrew is talking about, so it's about what to ride on the legendary car he is not going, because it needs to be holly and cherished.
