Rolls-Royce Motor Cars opens first european provenance pre-owned showroom in Moscow

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Moscow has opened Europe´s first dedicated Provenance Pre-Owned showroom in the Russian capital, offering a collection of the finest previously-owned Rolls-Royce motor cars. The new premises also accommodates brand new aftersales facilities, including a state-of-the-art workshop zone with five workbays together with a luxuriously-appointed customer lounge, to meet and exceed the expectations of the most discerning clientele.

This ensures that every Provenance Pre-Owned vehicle not only delivers total reassurance but – combined with a minimum two year servicing and warranty cover – is also a sound investment for the future.

Tatiana Fitzgerald, Managing Director of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Moscow, commented, “It makes us very proud to inaugurate the very first Provenance Pre-Owned showroom in Europe. The growing population of Rolls-Royce motor cars in Russia enables us to enhance our approach with pre-owned vehicles, in addition to our existing showroom at Kutuzovskiy Prospekt,” and added, “Provenance Pre-Owned customers often have a very individual set of purchasing reasons. Our exceptional service ensures that Provenance Pre-Owned cars are no different, and perform as beautifully as the cars coming straight from Goodwood today.”

The dedicated Provenance Pre-Owned showroom, located at 2nd Magistralnaya 18 near the business hub Moscow City, hosts an unparalleled collection of meticulously cared for previously-owned Rolls-Royce motor cars.
