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!

2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance: It's all in the details

Mon, Aug 22 2016

It's no secret that Pebble Beach is an ode to gorgeous, and mostly, classic cars. The car show may be a place for automakers to showcase extremely expensive cars to wealthy buyers, but it's also one of the go-to places for enthusiasts that love automobiles and culture. While it's easy to be overwhelmed by the overall beauty of a car, the real magic often needs closer inspection to be realized. Every car at Pebble Beach is a work of art, but the true beauty of the vehicles lies in the details. And Autoblog's photographer, Drew Phillips, managed to capture the details on some gorgeous cars. From the Lamborghini Miura's exquisite steering wheel to Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy, it's all at Pebble Beach. We think the details on some of the cars are prettier than the cars themselves, but don't take our word for it. Check out the beautiful gallery above and enjoy the tiny bits and pieces behind some of the prettiest cars in the world.

Rolls-Royce bringing art deco-inspired cars to Paris, celebrates with posters

Thu, 20 Sep 2012

Rolls-Royce announced that it will be bringing some "art-deco inspired" cars to the 2012 Paris Motor Show, and while we really have no clue what that means just yet, we're sure the cars are going to be very expensive.
The images show what appears to be a stylized Rolls-Royce Phantom or Ghost in an artistic rendering that would look at home in South Beach. Like the cars, Rolls-Royce is going all out with the launch of these special cars with an invitation-only introduction including a champagne reception.
We only have to wait until next week to see what features and styling changes Rolls-Royce has in store for these new bespoke models, but for now, enjoy this trio of art deco goodness and check out the press release below.
