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!

New Rolls-Royce Cullinan spied with production-spec lighting

Mon, Nov 20 2017

Few brands ooze luxury like Rolls-Royce. Like Rolex, the name Rolls-Royce conjures up an image of opulence and a certain level of refinement. Just look at all the details on the new 2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom. This hard-earned reputation is well-deserved. Still, there's an SUV-sized gap in the automaker's lineup. Crossovers are selling like mad and are easy money for any automaker. Fellow ultra-lux automaker Bentley has already thrown its hat into the ring with the Bentayga. Rolls-Royce's entrant, the Cullinan, looks to be nearly ready for production. We've seen plenty of spy photos of the Cullinan, with each batch revealing more and more. Hell, Rolls-Royce itself anticipated these leaks and released a couple of highly camouflaged official photos. These new photos show off the A- and B-pillars as well as part of the roof. It's not much, but it is more than we've seen until now. The rear end also looks to be much further along in development than before. This is our first look at what appears to be production-spec rectangular taillights. The Cullinan will share a platform with the Phantom, so expect plenty of shared parts. That means the Cullinan will likely get Rolls-Royce's 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 and eight-speed automatic. The 563 horsepower would be down compared to the Bentley Bentayga, but no one buys a Rolls-Royce for pure performance. A hybrid powertrain taken from the BMW 7 Series is also likely. Look for the wraps to come off the Cullinan sometime in the next few months. Related Video:

BMW sold 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles in 2018

Tue, Jan 8 2019

FRANKFURT — German carmaker BMW on Tuesday said it achieved record sales of 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles last year. "BMW Group achieved record sales in 2018. 2.49 million vehicles mean the BMW Group is the world's leading premium automotive company for the 15th year running," Chief Executive Harald Krueger said. In 2017, BMW Group sold 2.46 million vehicles. Daimler has not yet released annual sales figures for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, so it remains unclear whether BMW brand overtook Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales in 2018. Sales of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce cars were higher than Mercedes-Benz in 2017.

Senna director working on biopic about Rolls-Royce founders

Sat, Jan 30 2016

Asif Kapadia, the director of the amazing motorsports documentary Senna, has signed on to helm Silver Ghost, a film about the earliest days of Rolls-Royce. Martin Scorsese is among the movie's producers, and Lord Richard Attenborough was involved with the project before his death. Silver Ghost would tell the story of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce at the beginning of the 20th century. Automotive pioneer Lord John Douglas-Scott Montagu and his wife would also have roles. It seems that the film will involve the story of how Montagu's mistress, Eleanor Velasco Thornton, inspired the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament. "What struck me when I read Silver Ghost was how this true story weaves together the lives of five remarkable people that changed the destiny of the Western world and I am delighted to be working together with the legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese and Anthony Haas to bring it to the screen," Kapadia said in the announcement. "Most of the filming is due to take place in England and the intention is for production to begin later this year," project spokesperson Brigitte Hill told Autoblog. She wouldn't unveil anything about the cast at this stage, understandably. We first heard about Silver Ghost in 2012 when Scorsese and Attenborough were working on it. They reportedly had a script from Goldeneye screenwriter Jeffrey Caine and playwright Sharman Macdonald. Silver Ghost is among several automotive biopics that could arrive in cinemas. A Ferruccio Lamborghini film might start shooting this summer, and Robert De Niro has a Ferrari movie in the works. Leonardo Di Caprio also already has the big-screen rights to a future book about the Volkswagen diesel scandal. That's a huge crop of car movies, and we couldn't be more excited about it.
