I would be very wary of buying any car that has had a recent respray without photographic evidence of the work that was done and photos of the before and during process.

In the Rolls-Royce world I have seen many cases of people buying an immaculate looking car that has had recent paint work done and paying top price for it - only to find 18 months down the line the paint is bubbling and filler lifting, showing how bad the condition was before and the shoddy workmanship. The only remedy then is to cut out the corrosion and do the job properly.

What the owner then ends up with is a car in good condition and worth what he originally paid for it, but, with the added cost of a good body restoration on top. They then get disillusioned with R-R ownership and soon sell up and move on.
