Hi, Thanks for looking at my Rolls. I have owned it for I think 6 years and have had tons of fun driving it with my family. Now is the time for us to part. This car was stored for 11 years prior to my coming to own it. I have learned much about Rolls Royce technology and am always amazed at the engineering of this car. I have rebuilt the front calipers and replaced both brake pumps and accumulators. The car drives well and is in very good condition with the exception of a few minor flaws. The drivers seat has a tear about 2 inches long. The leather is ok but maybe you'll want to replace it. The top works fine, it has a minor seperation behind the drivers side rear so you might want a new top, the mechanism works fine. The drivers side window worked up till this year and now stays down, I took a look at it and the mechanism for manual winding is removed and the motor has been previously replaced. The documentation of the motor replacement is inside the door, i.e. what motor was used etc. I have a can of R12 which I can give you to charge the air. I only drive this car with the top down and in summer so I don't really use the air. A couple of gauges are in need of repair, the gas only registers 1/4 tank, the coolant gauge is stuck and there is another one that is stuck, can't remember right now. All the brake lights are off and only the emergency brake light comes on sometimes when you depress the brake, I think it needs to be bled. Anyhow the paint is not great and there is a small rust spot on the passenger side rear panel (see Pics) it was rust free until I pulled it out of the garage this year. Anyhow the windows are slow and I replaced the driver master switch and it didn't help. The other three windows work off the single switch on the particular door or seat. Don't drive in the rain and you won't need to roll up the windows. The low beams are always on and the brights don't work (I think it is the switch) the left fog lamp no longer works either. Anyhow this is probably one of the all time head turners out there. Wish I had a dime for all the pic requests! If you are looking for the perfect restored rolls, this is not it. This is a really nice driver that runs very well. The badge on the firewall says, " Rolls Royce Silver Shadow which is interesting if you know why that is, please let me know. Please feel free to ask any questions, the car can be seen in Elgin Il. Thanks for looking!

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II rolls in with some subtle updates [w/video]

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Downsizing is a relative term - especially when it comes to a Rolls-Royce. But that's just what the British luxury automaker did with the release of the Ghost in 2010. Sure, it's over seventeen and a half feet long (over eighteen in Extended Wheelbase form), but that's still shorter than the 19 feet the standard Phantom stretches, and that much shorter than the twenty-foot-long Phantom EWB.
The Ghost has now been on the market for four years, high time Rolls gave it a little refresh - and that's just what it's done here in Geneva with the release of the Ghost Series II. It's essentially the same vehicle as the outgoing model, but the Ghost Series II (like the Phantom Series II released in 2012) benefits from a host of minor updates. The styling has been subtly revised, and the sumptuous cabin space has been updated with such features as a new infotainment display, rotary controller and trim.
Although Goodwood hasn't released official output figures, the 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 (only the second twelve-cylinder engine in Rolls-Royce history) carries over from the existing model. We might hope for some of the power upgrades released for the Wraith or the Ghost V-Specification, but what we know for sure is that it's mated to a Satellite Aided Transmission that uses GPS data to 'read' the road ahead and choose the right gear for the turns coming up. It's a nifty technology pioneered by parent company BMW, and along with the other updates rolled out for the Series II, promises to make the hyper-luxurious driving experience that much more so.

Ugur Sahin returns with Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II design

Sat, 15 Dec 2012

The "Round Door" Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (inset) is a magnificent black beast of a car (and you can see it at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a limited time) as well as a mystery: designed by the Jonckheere Works in Belgium in 1935, all records for the one-of-a-kind coupe were destroyed in World War II, so no one knows who designed it or who commissioned it. What remains of the original coachbuilding company now makes bodies for cars and buses, and has asked designer Ugur Sahin to reinterpret the most fabulous car from its history.
We've written about Sahin often before, recently about his Corvette-based Anandi being shown at Top Marques Monaco and going into production. For a man who favors long hoods and short bodies, this particular Rolls-Royce couldn't be better. Sahin says the word "Respect" guided his lines for the 77-year-old car, the most apparent changes being the front fender treatment, the headlights dropping into the fenders, and the serious downsizing of the fin at the rear. Sahin says that there are talks with potential investors about building a one-off.
You can find out a little more about it in the press release below, and check out the gallery above of high-res images for every angle.

Rolls-Royce says SUV will in fact be called Cullinan, releases photos

Tue, Feb 13 2018

We have known the upcoming Rolls-Royce luxury SUV is called is called Cullinan for a while now, but it took until today for the manufacturer to officially acknowledge the name. Referring to the quite simply enormous Cullinan diamond, Rolls-Royce says the name befits the new "high-bodied vehicle," carefully steering around the SUV moniker. "The name Cullinan has been hiding in plain sight since we revealed it as the project name some years ago," says Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos. "It is the most fitting name for our extraordinary new product. Cullinan is a motor car of such clarity of purpose, such flawless quality and preciousness, and such presence that it recalibrates the scale and possibility of true luxury. Just like the Cullinan Diamond, the largest flawless diamond ever found, it emerges when it is perfect and exists above all others." This content is hosted by a third party.

One of the photos depicts a test mule climbing a muddy hill, a territory unclaimed by Rolls-Royces except for ones modified by privateer rally teams. The Cullinan, based on a new proprietary aluminum spaceframe, is expected to be unveiled by late summer 2018, with deliveries starting in 2019. The vehicle's introduction is planned to lift the brand's yearly sales to 5,000 units per year, as they fell to 3,362 in 2017.
