This amazing Rolls Royce was purchased new from Bentley & Rolls Royce of Beverly Hills by world renowned Otto Heino.   Otto cherished this car and owned it for over twenty years while residing in Ojai, CA.   I am the third owner.   I have owned various Rolls and have been very pleased with this car.

Otto is an internationally acclaimed potter, one of the few potters who can keep a refined shape in a large vessel.   An eye for form and skill of throwing aside, Otto's potting required great strength.  He was able to throw 100 pounds of clay at once !

He received many of the highest distinctions and awards.   His works have been exhibited at the Picasso Museum in France, SF De Young Museum, LACM, NY American Craft Museum, Smithsonian, Boston Museum of Fine Arts amongst others.   He called himself the oldest and richest potter in the world.      If you like art, worth taking a look at his works..

Back to the car which is why you are here.   I just wanted the new owner to recognize and hopefully appreciate the history a bit, as I have.   Now back to the car.

It is a great example of a car that has been driven locally, maintained and enjoyed in it's original state.    The paint is original and best to convey the two tone is like a champagne/soft gold over a dk brown/black.. which changes in the light, day and night.    The interior is in great condition with newly recovered backings of the extra plush rear floor mats and foot rests.   I have restored the back shelf panel and the leather dash, yet rest is very nice.    Wood is very nice w/ some typical spots of fine line stresslines in few areas.

While Otto resided in Ojai he still often serviced the car in Beverly Hills and I still have a few records from him.   In 1999 he had the radiator recored and got a new thermostat installed, also replaced the gas springs.   Back in 2005 Otto had new fuel pump, new injectors and wiring installed.

In 2009 new owner had the car serviced and had fuel distributor rebuilt, replaced spark plugs, new fuel accumulator and retrofitted A/C for R134 charge.

In 2010 all new tires put on at 47,226 miles.

In 2012 the car was serviced at Jim Rickman Motors (very well known in Pasadena) -    In 2013 I have too serviced the car at my local shop and have replaced battery as well.  

Please enjoy the pictures and best of luck with the beautiful Rolls.
