Hi,
Yeah, as I mentioned earlier I found it about 3 1/2 years ago (3/2002).
Originally it was built throughout the month of June 1989, and purchased at
Newport Beach Rolls Royce/Bentley in Ca. 12/29/'89 for $135,000, by a Japanese
corporation, and shipped immediately to Japan until it came back in 2002 when it
was sent to NY where I got it from a wholesaler with no warranty.
