Motor Car Description

Hello, and welcome to a special auction that has been designed for your enjoyment. I am a broker, and I have been hired by the owner of this vehicle to sell it for him on ebay. He is a doctor, and does not have the luxury to sell his own car. The pictures that have been taken for this auction are from my own digital camera, and the downloaded pictures are specifically for this auction. The pictures have not been touched or photoshopped, they are the original pictures that you see. How do you introduce a car, but not just a car, a motor car. A motor car that is considered the "Best Car In The World." I would like to present to you a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, showcasing the 6.7 Liter, V-8, engine that was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1970. The snow white factory paint, with factory blue vinyl top, drips with luxury with hand painted matching pin stripes on fenders and wheel covers. The rich, and soft Connolly Hyde leather seats, that were dyed in matching blue are more than comfortable. The Walnut-Burl wood, split trim, a Rolls-Royce hallmark, are opposite matching wood grains to the front doors as well as the rear doors. The all wool headliner is in perfect condition. The matching blue Wilton wool carpets are comfortable and I am told many women sitting in the back seat, did not want to put their shoes back on. The center console and dash come with radio and 8 track tape player. Adjustable arm rests. Engine is carburated, lubrication by wet sump, and ABS brakes. Don't forget the battery is in the trunk. Fuel tank capacity about 28 gallons, the car weighs about 4,670 pounds. and comes with a 120.2 wheel base. As most British cars during this time period. used Lucas electrical wiring throughout the vehicle.  The Rolls-Royce has had only two owners since new. We have some maintenance history. Tires are new, has about 75,000 original miles on the odometer. Clear title and pink slip in hand. This Rolls-Royce has been in Southern California it's entire life and it has always been garaged. All services are up to date. It is wonderful to drive, and very powerful. General motors air conditioning system and General motors transmission assembly, works, shifts and drives on point.

Romancing the Rolls

Twelve years ago, two Doctors finished a seminar at a Hotel and were in conversation as they walked out the front door. Asking where the one had parked and he said right here, the other doctor said where? The other answered right here and pointed to a white Rolls-Royce with blue top and trim. The Hotel knowing that by putting a Rolls-Royce in front would show the public the type of customers they cater to. The other Doctor was surprised and went for a ride. He stated that he wanted one too, the same year and color. His friend took him seriously and after a two year search, found a matching White and Blue Rolls-Royce like his. Found it for sale in Palm Springs, California. A perfect dry place to locate a nice clean and nicely kept motor car. His friend drove out to Palms Springs and bought the car on the spot. They both had matching cars. Many seminars, meetings and family gatherings, the two matching Rolls-Royces would bring a crowd, and start comparing the two cars. The Doctor that owns this car, has always felt honored to have it. It was not just a car, but a symbol of the achievement of hard work. He felt he earned and enjoyed the extra special attention given to him and his family while driving it. Regardless the condition that you find any Rolls-Royce, it still represents the symbol of high achievement, because it is still a Rolls-Royce. The other Doctor moved out of state, and both Doctors are no longer able to meet up with their families and their Rolls-Royces. Going out on the town, or a drive up the coast, is still glorious. It seemed the Doctor was always Romancing the Rolls.

The Quest for Perfection in an un-perfect world

This Silver Shadow will come into it's 40th Birthday, December of 2012. Not bad for those years! They say 40 is the new 30! As we all know, time marches on and sometimes it can show. We always want to look our best, but sometimes, there are things that need some work, some tender loving care, and in some instances, this beautiful motor car, has had some issues pop up. It is only fair, that I mention these items. As you read on, things can be fixed and repaired and brought back to factory specs. The following are items that have merit to mention. We have noticed that at times, the windows will stick, sometime they all go up and down and sometimes one or two will not go up and down. We noticed the gas guage fluctuates and at times, does not always read a full tank. With so many coats of shellack over the walnut wood, some cracking can occur. The wood in the doors is perfect, but the coatings on the dash show some cracking. Remember this car is in great original shape, it is not a restored vehicle. The air conditioning works, it is cool, but you can't freeze a turkey in there. The engine does have a tapping noise, which seems to come and go. Engine works good, and plenty of compression, a good solid engine, but something to eventually look at it, but does not seem to effect driveability at all. The blue vinyl top, looks good, but is showing wear, mostly in the areas where there is some stiching, over time, vinyl tops can dry out and stretch a little, and that maybe something to look at. The "Winged Victory" mascot on the radiator cap is there and with wings spread out and ready to lead this car ahead. The Doctor's family now is grown and left home, and they are downsizing and had to make a gut wrenching decision to let go of the "love of his life." Therefore, we present this car to you in this auction, to take home and cherish it as these owners have done for forty years.

Not every Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge comes in black

Fri, Nov 15 2019

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — When Rolls-Royce recently unveiled the Cullinan Black Badge, the released press photos were of a very black car in a very black environment. But that did not match the car that was actually shown to the press. Quite the opposite, actually. The small event at the BMW Zentrum factory in South Carolina took place at night under a set of bright lights, and the car that came through the curtain wore a bright white body. We were fortunate enough to spend a brief time with the white Black Badge and snapped some photos of its details. As a reminder, all Black Badges have upgraded performance on top of the altered visual cues. Its twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 has been upgraded to make 600 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, and the brakes, suspension and exhaust have been retuned as well. We spent an extremely limited amount of time in the Black Badge, so we cannot offer full comments about how it drives, but we can say the exhaust offers a nice insulated grumble in "Low" mode, the quickness off the line doesn't make any sense for a vehicle its size (trust us, it is huge), and it seemed controlled while cruising up the curves onto the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, where these photos were taken.  The white paint exaggerates the parts Rolls-Royce darkens on all Black Badge models. The Spirit of Ecstasy, the grille surround, the inverted badging, the side frame finishers, the trunk handle, the trunk trim, the lower air inlet finisher, and the exhaust pipes have all gone black. Inside, this particular Cullinan has a red leather interior with patterned carbon fiber accents. It also has light contrast stitching, which includes infinity signs, a symbol used on Sir Malcolm Campbell's Rolls-Royce-powered Blue Bird K3 hydroplane. Check out all the details, including the built-in event seats in the trunk, in our massive gallery above.

NBA sneakerhead P.J. Tucker has Rolls-Royce Jordan 3s that match his Cullinan

Fri, Dec 28 2018

There aren't many sneakers that 33-year-old Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker does not own. The only sneakers he hasn't gotten his hands on are likely rare grails normal people have never even heard of. His collection surpasses 2200 shoes, and he spent more than $200,000 on sneakers just during the 2017-2018 season. For sneaker fanatics, nearly every time he steps on the court is a throwback to a moment in shoe history or the creation of a new one. Tucker debuted Jerry Lorenzo's Fear of God Nike collaboration. He wore Stewie Griffin-themed Nike LeBron 6s that are valued at about $20,000 on Christmas day. Highly sought-after Nike Off-Whites are like Converse Chucks to him. So, what can you gift the sneakerhead who has everything? Houston-based Post Oak Motors knew it couldn't just gift any old pair of kicks from Flight Club, so the dealership commissioned a pair of Rolls-Royce-themed Air Jordan 3s to match the Rolls-Royce Cullinan that Tucker had recently purchased. The custom kicks were crafted by Jake Danklefs and his crew at Dank & Co. As shown in his Instagram post below, they were made to mirror the color scheme of the Cullinan Tucker ordered, which has white paint over a red interior. From afar, they look pretty similar to the Pure White Jordan 3 retros, but the details set it far apart from that general release shoe. Aside from the red guts and icey translucent outsole, the shoe is made entirely of various textures and hues of white. It has gloss, it has matte leather, it has alligator print, and it has a secondary reptile print. It all comes together with the double-R Rolls-Royce logo on the tongue.

In addition to his Cullinan, he's flashed on Instagram a Miami Blue AWT Motorsports Porsche 911, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, and a Ferrari 488 Spider. He even has a photo of him with an old gold Nissan Maxima similar to the one his mom bought him for his first car when he was 14 years old. To some, this kind of sneaker obsession might seem frivolous or silly, but who are we to speak? We're car nerds, possibly the most money-sucking hobby there is.
