Rarely do Silver Shadows as original and as well cared for as this one come on the market. This gorgeous car has just 56,000 original miles and has been beautifully maintained its entire life. As evidence of that there are copious receipts for the tens of thousands of dollars that have been lavished on it over the years.

For many years this car was owned and displayed by the esteemed Rolls Royce Foundation in their museum as a quintessential example of the Silver Shadow model. Finished in Brewster Green with Parchment Connolly leather the body is razor straight. It has had a documented repaint to the highest standard and still shows beautifully. This car has absolutely no rust and to our knowledge has never suffered any damage whatsoever.

The interior is 100% original and gorgeous. The leather shows the patina of gentle use over these last 46, years. The woodwork is also original and shows the typical , subtle aging of the clear coat. Carpets are mint, headliner excellent… overall a really lovely interior.

The engine compartment shows well and is all original, as is the trunk area. The underside has never been detailed, rather it is original but very tidy.

Full disclosure: there is an issue with the car which is the result of a design flaw at Rolls Royce back in the 1960’s. It was very common for the cam bearings to wear prematurely, and that is the case with this car. It runs perfectly well as is, but there is a slight noise from these chronically worn bearings. Because of this issue we have placed what we feel is a very fair reserve on the car.

We have been in the business of selling European car for 27 years and our reputation for quality cars is unmatched. ( deGarmoLtd.com ) Please feel free to call with any questions 203.852.1670. The car is located in Connecticut and it available for inspection by appointment. Matt deGarmo

Rolls-Royce Dawn dons Aero Cowling for the Geneva Motor Show

Mon, Mar 5 2018

Rolls-Royce will not be bringing the Cullinan SUV to the Geneva Motor Show, but it is instead displaying four special takes on its existing portfolio. The most striking of these is the Rolls-Royce Dawn Aero Cowling. The titular leather-lined cowling made of carbon fiber and aluminum covers the Dawn's rear seats, effectively giving it the appearance of a two-seater, and is fitted with storage compartments. Rolls-Royce claims it is very light, but then the 570-horsepower V12 convertible weighs more than 5,600 pounds, so even a heavier decking setup would really only strain the person lifting it. In addition to the Dawn, Rolls-Royce has brought three custom Phantoms. The most restrained one is called "The Gentleman's Tourer," which features a two-tone grey and silver bodywork and a dark interior. The concept harkens back to 1930s Continental Saloons. The second one, a long-wheelbase Phantom, is called "The Whispered Muse," and it has the Dashboard Gallery option, featuring a silk motif. Rose Gold appears throughout the vehicle, including the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament — the first one finished in Rose Gold. The last Phantom, also a long wheelbase, is called "A Moment in Time," and its blue paint is a newly created hue. The three cars show off the customization capabilities of Rolls-Royce's bespoke division, and reportedly almost every customer will special-order their Rolls-Royce.

Grey Poupon to air new version of famous Rolls-Royce ad, this time with car chase [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

Grey 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.

Rolls-Royce developing new convertible

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Rolls-Royce is not a company that makes a lot of different vehicles, but of the ones it does, it tends to offer several versions. That's how we end up with sedan, long-wheelbase, coupe and (in the former's case) convertible versions of the Phantom and Ghost. And now Goodwood has confirmed development of another model.
Although details in the press release below are few and far between, it does promise to "deliver effortless, open-top touring... with an engaging and exhilarating driving experience." CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös added: "We are currently developing an exciting and thoroughly contemporary interpretation of a pinnacle drophead tourer which will introduce even more discerning men and women to Rolls-Royce ownership."
What that tells us is that the new model - set to reach showrooms "by mid-2016" - will be a convertible that's exciting to drive and more youthful than the Phantom Drophead Coupe. In other words, and in all likelihood, we're looking at the convertible version of the Ghost-based Wraith fastback (like the one we recently spotted undergoing testing, pictured above). Expect it, then, to carry the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12, but with the added rush of wind in your hair.
