1969 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, last ones with metal bumper. Ivory on British Racing Green. LHD American export originally delivered to a salesman in Texas, who drove it daily for the first ten years. No rust whatsoever. Second owner for the next 20+ years was a physician on the east coast. He was often observed doing research at the RR Foundation library, as he wanted to do his own work.

The engine is original Rolls Royce 5.75 liter V-8. The car has not been in any accident. No filler was ever used on the aluminum or steel body parts. The body, chassis and top end were professionally renovated in 2002, no expense spared, at 96k miles. All factory upgrades such as differential carrier, carburetor shut off valves, in tank thermostat, brake pump and others, were performed at that time. Since then, the car has been driven few miles, for weddings and on special occasions. The interior including wood, is in excellent original condition. This is a heirloom quality for your family.

Typical issues for this model had been attended to. Everything works, including gauges and air conditioning. It is outstanding in its present condition as a "driver." I would not hesitate to take it cross country for Club events. If you've never owned or driven a Rolls Royce, this is an once in a life time experience. Feel and smell the leather with the sight of beautiful wood. It is like nothing else cruising down the highway, for less investment than a vintage hot rod. You could get one in average condition for less, and expect to spend more during your stewardship.

I may be open to seriously honest trades, Model A, foreign sports, American classics, especially partial to a 59 Impala, .... or vintage cycles. This car will be in the RROC Flying Lady in May, for members only. It is also advertised overseas targeted for selective and discerning potential investors. It is subject to prior sale and be withdrawn at any time.

Please review my feedback of vehicles sold.

Rolls-Royce could go electric, if battery tech advances

Thu, Sep 17 2015

After toying with the idea a few year ago, Rolls-Royce isn't ready to completely give up on the idea of an electric model quite yet. Still, a hyper-luxurious EV from the opulent brand might not happen any time soon. "Suppose we find a battery technology that can offer ranges that are acceptable to our customers," brand boss Torsten Muller-Otvos said, according to Automotive News. "I can definitely imagine a fully electric Rolls-Royce." Muller-Otvos was clear that no final decision on an EV or even a much-rumored plug-in hybrid has been made yet. Rumors of an EV from the brand go back years. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce showed that it wasn't completely against going electric. The 102EX concept (pictured above) was based on a Phantom but with two, 194-horsepower electric motors and a 71-kWh battery to power them. The company claimed the behemoth had an estimated range of 124 miles and could hit 60 miles per hour in under eight seconds. At least one journalist even got to drive it. However, the brand's wealthy customers reportedly weren't convinced, and the project was canned. In 2014, several reports began suggesting a plug-in hybrid Rolls under development that would answer concerns about range and charging time amongst the clientele. This powertrain could debut on the next-gen Phantom around 2017, and it's likely to be borrowed from parent company BMW.

Former Princess Diana Rolls-Royce being auctioned for charity [w/video]

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

While it isn't that uncommon to see cars belonging to celebrities and dignitaries roll across the auction block these days, this car is a little extra special. This particular 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the car that Prince Charles and Princess Diana arrived at the White House in during a visit in 1985. As some added trivia, this was also the visit where Princess Di cut a rug with none other than John Travolta.
Volo Auto Museum will be auctioning off this piece of American and British history on November 9th - exactly 27 years from Princess Di's White House visit. According to the auction listing, this armored Silver Shadow was the official car of the UK's embassy, and it has been valued at around $2 million by the Berman Museum of History. The auction will have no reserve with some of the proceeds going to the Children with Cancer UK charity that Princess Diana started in 1988.
Scroll down for more information about this car and its auction as well as a video showing Prince Charles and Princess Diana arriving at the White House in the car back in 1985.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan test car takes the wheel — from a BMW 3 Series

Fri, Oct 20 2017

The biggest, baddest Rolls-Royce will soon be here. We've seen spy shots the new Cullinan for months, but this is our first look at the SUV's interior. Though much of it is still covered, we can make out a few details hiding beneath the surface. There's no word on when the new Rolls will hit the streets, but look for a debut sometime this auto show season. At first glance, there seems to be a lot of parts taken straight from a BMW parts bin. BMW owns Rolls, so this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Still, it's disappointing to see the steering wheel from a 3 Series in place of the handsome, thin-rimmed wheels you usually find in a Rolls-Royce. That said, this could simply be a temporary solution while the car undergoes development. The rest looks a lot like the new Phantom. This includes the digital instrument cluster and various switches and knobs. There really isn't anything new we can glean from the Cullinan's exterior. We've seen this all before. The rear doors are of particular note as they each appear to have two door handles. Look closely and you can see a regular one in the back and what appears to be another up front. The latter suggests it may have suicide doors, though it may simply be a trim piece meant to simulate that iconic Rolls feature. We'll have to wait for the full debut to find out more.
