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.

Grey Poupon to air new version of famous Rolls-Royce ad, this time with car chase [w/video]
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Grey Poupon mustard will revive the concept behind its famous Pardon Me commercials with a new ad that will air only once on television during this Sunday's broadcast of the Academy Awards.
The original spot, which showed two one-percenters sharing the condiment between their Rolls-Royces at an intersection, first aired all the way back in 1981, and variations of it continued up through 1997. Kraft, owner of the Grey Poupon brand, is hoping that reviving the commercial will boost sagging sales and raise the mustard's profile with a younger generation of fancy folk.
So why are we talking about this on Autoblog? Because the new version of the ad won't end with a polite passing of the bottle. Rather, we're told a car chase ensues when the Grey Poupon's owner doesn't get it back. We're assuming the two cars in question will again be a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans, probably Phantoms unless they go with more vintage model years.
Odell Beckham Jr.'s custom Rolls-Royce hood ornament catches the true Spirit of Ecstasy
Wed, May 29 2019Odell Beckham Jr. hasn't even played a single game for his new team, yet he's already making a splash in Cleveland. Not for his play, but for his car. Images and video of OBJ's custom Rolls-Royce Cullinan hit the web this week, and it suits his larger-than-life personality perfectly. The Browns orange wrap is a minor piece in a grand package that includes a custom hood ornament that replicates his famous one-handed behind-his-head catch. Sorry, Spirit of Ecstasy. OBJ's career has been too impressive to be defined by a single play, but his 2014 catch against the Dallas Cowboys (seen below) is certainly a top highlight. Widely considered one of the greatest catches in all of NFL history, it has now been immortalized in a hood ornament of all things. But not just any hood ornament. It takes the place of the sacred Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy on his custom Cleveland-themed Cullinan SUV. And yes, it can still be hidden within the grille. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. NFL players, and athletes in general, have been known to create some of the wildest custom vehicles we've seen, and OBJ's Double-R is no exception. Built by Dreamworks Motorsports in Roxboro, North Carolina, the Cullinan has an orange wrap, dark 26-inch Forgiato wheels with floating RR center caps, gloss black accents, and Suntek Films window tint. That's just the basic stuff. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Cementing his car as a truly unique piece are the sound system and the interior. Dreamworks built a subwoofer box to mimic the iconic Rolls-Royce grille, and the one-off starlight headliner was constructed just for this vehicle with a custom pattern. Plus there's that Spirit of Hubris up front. Whether it's a no from you, dawg, or it's a resounding yes, there's no doubt this thing will get people talking. Inspect the details in the gallery above.

Artists reinterpret Rolls-Royce scale models for charity
Sat, May 23 2015Everyone loves toy cars. Even artists, apparently. And even if they toys in question are higher-end "scale models" of high-end cars like Rolls-Royces. The British automaker recently assembled a dozen contemporary artists to render their individual creative interpretations based on 1:18 scale models of the Rolls-Royce Ghost. They'll be displayed at a showroom in the center of London before being auctioned off to raise funds for breast cancer. The resulting creations came out pretty interesting, ranging from a Rolls-based, Back to the Future-style time machine to another grown over with moss and mushrooms. One of the artists, Charming Baker, suspended his model in a resin block and drilled it through fourteen times to represent how breast cancer can affect us all. If you happen to wander by Berkeley Square in the British capital any time before the end of June, it may be worth stopping in to have a look. But if your plans won't be taking you to London this summer, you can check them out in the slideshow above. Maybe you'll see something you like a place a bid. It's all for a good cause. Related Video: ROLLS-ROYCE GHOST TRANSFORMED BY LEADING ARTISTS FOR BREAST CANCER CARE Twelve leading artists have created unique artworks, each featuring a 1:18 scale replica of the iconic Rolls-Royce Ghost, for a one-of-a-kind collection. These spectacular artworks, donated by some of the biggest names in contemporary art, will be on show from 20-25 May 2015 at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars London in Berkeley Square to raise valuable funds for Breast Cancer Care. The model motor car has been transformed to create an extraordinary collection of one-off art pieces, created by artists including: Maggi Hambling, Richard Wentworth, Gavin Turk, Mark Wallinger, JJ Adams, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Charming Baker, Natasha Law, Angela Palmer, Andrew Salgado, Stuart Semple and Yinka Shonibare. London artist Charming Baker, known for his emotionally charged work, explains the thinking behind his artwork, 'One in Eight'. "It is important to me that the work I produce for this brief is relevant to the subject matter we're dealing with. One in eight women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. So I have set the car in a clear block of resin, suspended in the middle of the block – floating, pristine. The block has been drilled 16 times, in a very orderly and simple grid pattern.
