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.

Check out Rolls-Royce's totally awesome AWD mule

Tue, Apr 7 2015

No, this isn't just a super badass Phantom. The car you see here – codenamed Project Cullinan Â– is an early development mule for the new all-wheel-drive suspension system that will eventually be found in Rolls-Royce's upcoming SUV. It's made up of a shortened Phantom body, looks totally murdered out, and has a huge freaking wing on the back. We love it. Of course, Rolls-Royce properly poo-poos any similarities between this mule and the eventual production model. "The body may hint at the size of the new car, but it features no design aspects of the eventual high-sided, all-terrain motor car announced by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in February this year," the company said in a press release. The end goal of this mule is to create "a final all-wheel-drive system that delivers Rolls-Royce's hallmark 'magic-carpet' ride not only on the road, but off-road too." Screw the SUV. We'll take one as-is. PROJECT CULLINAN BEGINS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME AS ENGINEERING MULE APPEARS IN PUBLIC In its open letter on 18 February this year, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars gave an undertaking to inform stakeholders of the progress of Project Cullinan. Keeping this promise, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has today published photographs depicting the first key milestone in the vehicle's development programme. The photographs are of the first engineering mule, which will be seen on public roads this week. This early engineering mule, based on a shortened Phantom Series II body, has been created purely to begin the development of an all-wheel drive suspension system that will deliver a ride that will be Effortless ... Everywhere. The body may hint at the size of the new car, but it features no design aspects of the eventual high-sided, all-terrain motor car announced by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in February this year. The mule rides on the first iteration of an all-new suspension that will assist Rolls-Royce engineers in developing a final all-wheel drive system that delivers Rolls-Royce's hallmark "magic-carpet" ride not only on the road, but off-road too. The first series of tests will focus on Project Cullinan's on-road behaviour from suspension throw to high-bodied stability, and will test the new suspension across all types of international road surface specification at test facilities, as well as on public roads. Test surfaces will include; Belgian Pave, cobblestones, corrugated concrete, noise development and measurement surfaces, resonance road, and acceleration bumps.

Work begins on new Rolls-Royce Phantom, PHEV likely

Fri, 16 May 2014

After reporting that a new Rolls-Royce Phantom would arrive sometime around 2017 in the same timeframe as a Rolls-Royce SUV, Autocar has a few more details on the next coming of the massive English sedan. Both its skin and its bones are being worked out right now, brand design head Giles Taylor telling the magazine that his team is "treading an evolutionary path" with the model, suggesting it will have "more charisma and more edge" as part of a future design language that will have "a charismatic expressiveness."
True, that gives us absolutely no indication of what the car will look like, but it seems fair to assume it will feature more curves and detailing than the present car. The long C-pillar will remain, though, the privacy it affords being "part of the Phantom recipe."
What's underneath could be more detailed as well, the report saying BMW is mulling an i3 kind of build, with an aluminum chassis supporting a carbon fiber bodyshell. Assuming production considerations and costs could be kept in line, the benefits would be a lighter car that offers more latitude with the design, easier implementation of new bodystyles and the segment's technology crown. A lighter Phantom would bring further rewards for its PHEV variant, which Autocar says is "a certainty."
