1967 Rolls Royce No Reserve Auction Classic British Luxury Bentley Mercedes Rhd on 2040-cars

San Diego, California, United States

This Rolls Royce was aquired from an inheritance and is sold as is where is.  No reserve auction.  Clean california title. No back fees are due.  No Smog necessary.  This is a 4 door saloon which ran 4 years ago and nothing has been done with it since.  It did start and drive then, however we found it was leaking gasoline somewhere around the gas tank area so it was not moved.  The muffler was also rusted so it sounds like a muscle car, not like a Rolls Royce is supposed too.  The leather is the original hides from 1967 and are in poor shape with exception of the doors, ceiling, and dash which are in good condition.  In my opinion, the two front seats need to be reupholstered, the rest is good unless you wanted a show car.  The transmission is the factory 4 speed automatic which we believe it to be a General Motors Transmission. The engine is a 6230cc L410 V8.  This rolls royce has disc brakes, independent rear suspension.  It appears that the self levelling suspension has been replaced as whoever installed the new high pressure hydraulic system, left the old steel tubing right along next to it.  There were over 25,000 Silver Shadows made, which is the highest number of all rolls royce to date.  This means parts are much easier to obtain.  As stated previously, the car has not been started in 4 years, however, all the fluids are good and the car has been parked on clean cement, interestingly, not one drip of oil has fallen on the ground which is pretty amazing.  There are a few dents and rust spots on the car here and there, (I would say it needs a paint job) one of the headlights appears to be needing replacement, the air intake on the engine has a small rip right after the air filter.  we dont know what has been replaced on the engine but it appears the starter solenoid or relay has been replaced or something because there are newer style wires there.  the R12 air conditioning system appears original and we do not know if it works or not.  the right rear tail lamp is missing the top portion of the plastic.  there are two trim peices on the car that are missing alone with one on the rear of the trunk. the chrome around the car is in good shape with exception to the left front bumper which has rust. (the front bumper is 5 peices so you only have to rechrome one piece.)  The glass is all perfect.  no chips on the front windshield and the rear windshield has the built in heater core.  the back seats both have the picnic style fold out wooden tables.  these appear to be in good shape.  The wood trim on the dash is average for its age.  A nice new coat of laquer would really set it off.  The nice thing about all the wood in the car is that it is real solid burlwood, not laminate peices like the new rolls royce's have in them.  They are thick and can be sanded down and re lacquered without fear of sanding the wood off.  the car has 99,898 original miles on it.  It was owned and enjoyed by one person for many years until he passed away.  Previous to that, the original owner purchased it at the Rolls royce dealer in Rybrook, Birmingham, England.  The car comes with a spare tire and original tire jack.  We will help with arraingments for shipping, however, we do not have the means to transport it, therefore arraingments will need to be made to pick it up from Granite Hills, San Diego, California. This car is almost 50 years old so please do not expect a perfect car.  This one needs some TLC to get back on the road, but you can rest assured the engine and tranny should be good to go once you fix the above mentioned.

Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at N"urburgring

Wed, 10 Oct 2012

While all the gory details surrounding the new Rolls-Royce coupe - including its true name, "Corniche" is just a savory-sounding best guess right now - are still shrouded in mystery, this new set of clandestinely foraged images proves that the car probably won't be a slouch in terms of performance.
The Ghost-based Roller was spotted on the Nürburgring Nordschleife recently, demonstrating its sporting chops at the same time it was showing off it's impressive patrician nose. Expectations are that, when the new coupe is shown off for real at the Geneva Motor Show in March of next year, that nose will belong to the fastest production car to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Indications are that the Corniche will be rocking a turbocharged V12, making in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and using an eight-speed transmission.

Rolls-Royce builds the Sweptail, a beautiful one-off boattail coupe

Wed, May 31 2017

When it comes to custom-built cars, Rolls-Royce rarely fails to impress. Its latest creation is this one-off coupe called the Sweptail. According to Rolls-Royce, it was commissioned by a collector of bespoke machinery, and the car's design inspiration was the coachbuilt Rolls-Royces of the 1920s. The end result is an enormous Rolls-Royce coupe with a beautiful trailing boattail design. It looks like a hyper-expensive boattail Buick Riviera in the best way possible. A glass roof sheds light on a particularly plush interior. There are only two seats in the massive coupe. Where rear seats would have gone, are shelves made of wood and glass for storage. Wood veneer, consisting of ebony and paldao, is found everywhere in the car, even in the cargo areas. The darker wood trim is also accompanied by light colored leather. The Sweptail has a few little tricks up its sleeve, too. Opening the suicide doors on either side will reveal platforms for attache cases. The cases are designed to carry the occupants' laptop computers, and they're constructed from carbon fiber, wrapped in leather, and finished with aluminum and titanium hardware. Between the seats is a chiller that comes complete with crystal champagne flutes and a bottle of champagne from the year the owner was born. The trunk is also filled with custom-fitted luggage. Being a one-off, you won't be able to buy one of these coupes yourself. But it does show the capabilities of Rolls-Royce for doing special automobiles. And, who knows, if you have the money and connections, you might be able to have your own unique Rolls-Royce commissioned.

BMW warns profits will fall, plans $13.6 billion in cost-cutting

Wed, Mar 20 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — BMW said Wednesday that profits in 2019 will be "well below" last year's, and it will cut 12 billion euros ($13.6 billion) in costs by the end of 2022 to offset spending on new technology. The company said profits would be eroded by higher raw materials prices, the costs of compliance with tougher emissions requirements and unfavorable shifts in currency exchange rates. The Munich-based automaker also faces increased uncertainty due to international trade conflicts that could lead to higher tariffs. "Depending on how conditions develop, our guidance may be subject to additional risks; in particular, the risk of a no-deal Brexit and ongoing developments in international trade policy," said Chief Financial Officer Nicolas Peter. The company forecast a profit margin of 6 to 8 percent for its automotive business, short of the long-term strategic target of 8 to 10 percent, which it said still "remains the ambition" for the company if given "a stable business environment." BMW said it had no plans for layoffs even as it outlined cost saving measures that include dropping half of its engine variants as it seeks to reduce product complexity. The BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands are to get a single sales division. Peter said that given the headwinds to earnings, "we began to introduce countermeasures at an early stage and have taken a number of far-reaching decisions." The company said the measures were needed "to offset the ongoing high level of upfront expenditure required to embrace the mobility of the future." Automakers around the world have faced heavy up-front costs for technology expected to change how people get from one place to another in the next decade. Those include electric cars and renting cars through smartphone apps. Yet the returns from such investments remain uncertain and auto companies face competition from tech firms such as Uber and Waymo. BMW made 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) in net profit last year, down 17 percent from 2017, when it booked a gain of $1 billion from U.S. tax changes. The company faced headwinds from increased tariffs on vehicles exported to China from the United States. It also suffered from turmoil on the German auto market when companies faced bottlenecks getting cars certified for new emissions rules. BMW faces uncertainty from U.S.-China trade tensions that could result in new tariffs if talks do not result in an agreement. U.S.
