Exterior - This Silver Shadow is a beautiful 2-Tone model as ordered from the factory. It is dark blue on the bottom with a light blue on top. The paint is in very nice condition and is shiny throughout. This car looks to have been repainted at some point and it was done professionally. The windows are crack free and show no signs of pitting or hazing. The chrome is bright and could use a good polish but is not pitted or peeling. The power windows are fully operational. 

Interior - The interior is in average condition. The leather is showing signs of age and could use some coloring. There are no tears or major cracks in the leather. The wood is in good condition except for along the windshield, which has peeling veneer. The wood has some minor hairline cracks in places but it is not very noticeable. The carpets, dashboard and rear shelf are in very nice condition. This car has the original 8-Track radio still installed and includes some 8-Tracks. The AIR CONDITIONING WORKS and blows very cold. 

Mechanical - This car runs fantastic. Both of the carburetors were just professionally rebuilt using the Rolls Royce factory parts. It accelerates smoothly without any abnormal noises or smells. It idles quietly with NO SMOKE. The brakes are good but could use some going through. Although the brakes are operating as designed, they have a softer feel and may need to be bled out. The suspension and steering are operating as designed with no issues. The power steering works as designed. The tires are older but in good condition. 

Electrical - All of the lighting and interior electrical components work as designed. The power seats, windows and gauges are working as designed. This is a british car after all and it is nice to find one with a electrical system this reliable. 

Please e-mail any questions that you have and I will quickly reply. Please only bid if you intend to follow through. This is a great opportunity to own a Rolls Royce that is a great driver quality car. Please do not expect a show car because it is not one. It is just a good honest car that needs some very minor repairs.

2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn debuts [w/video]

Tue, Sep 8 2015

"It expresses this notion of opening up and the light coming in." Rolls-Royce officials said this of the new Dawn convertible during a private showing in Beverly Hills back in May. It was quite a coincidence, then, that the Friday I saw the Dawn in person was the first clear day in southern California after a stretch of unseasonable rain and clouds. I already told you many details about Rolls-Royce's new convertible Drophead, but now, ahead of its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, we have the official release. And while the Dawn shares its underpinnings with the Ghost sedan and Wraith coupe, Rolls sees this new model as different enough to warrant a separate name. "It speaks of fabulous places and beautiful people." "Given its character, [the Dawn] deserved a name that was not ethereal," Rolls-Royce said. "It speaks of fabulous places and beautiful people. It's a lot sexier [than the Phantom]." And while the design seems like a convertible Wraith at a glance, nearly 80 percent of the Dawn's body panels are new. The doors carry over, but the chin is pulled forward by 2.1 inches compared to the Wraith and the grille is recessed by 1.7 inches. The beltline arches up around the back of the cabin, "how you turn a collar up on a jacket," according to one designer. The Dawn is a very pretty car, and the effect of the dark blue exterior contrasting with and orange interior stunning in person, if muted in the photos. The six-layer canvas top retracts in a silent operation, stowing neatly behind the open-pore wood deck just aft of the rear seats. In yet another breathless passage, Rolls says passengers should not be "inconvenienced by noise." With the top up, the profile of the Dawn is more three-box hot rod than the fastback look of the Wraith. A choice of 20- or 21-inch polished or painted wheels round out the exterior. Inside, Dawn is fitted with the same luxurious appointments and technology as Wraith and Ghost, with seating for four. Accessing the rear seats is easy, and there's ample legroom for tall passengers – I watched several six-foot-plus journalists nestle themselves back there without issue. That said, on planet Rolls-Royce the Dawn is not a 2+2. "In the world of Rolls-Royce, day-to-day mathematical norms don't always apply. That's why I say in the case of the new Rolls-Royce Dawn, 2+2 does not equal 4." But it holds four people. So, yeah. Rolls-Royce says the Dawn is its "most versatile canvas" yet.

Rolls-Royce bringing art deco-inspired cars to Paris, celebrates with posters

Thu, 20 Sep 2012

Rolls-Royce announced that it will be bringing some "art-deco inspired" cars to the 2012 Paris Motor Show, and while we really have no clue what that means just yet, we're sure the cars are going to be very expensive.
The images show what appears to be a stylized Rolls-Royce Phantom or Ghost in an artistic rendering that would look at home in South Beach. Like the cars, Rolls-Royce is going all out with the launch of these special cars with an invitation-only introduction including a champagne reception.
We only have to wait until next week to see what features and styling changes Rolls-Royce has in store for these new bespoke models, but for now, enjoy this trio of art deco goodness and check out the press release below.

Rolls-Royce SUV depends on fortunes of BMW X7

Sun, 02 Jun 2013

The on-again, off-again discussion regarding the rumored Rolls-Royce SUV seems to be back in the "maybe" camp now. In February, we heard that Rolls-Royce was considering adding an SUV, but then in April, another report said that these rumors had been shot down. Automobile is now saying that this ultra-luxury SUV could be determined by the success of the equally uncertain BMW X7 (on which the R-R SUV would be based), which we've heard little on since 2011.
Although the article is based solely on speculation, there are some interesting details about such a potential Rolls-Royce, including a plug-in hybrid drivetrain using a twin-turbo V8 (not a V12) and a chassis and body built in South Carolina with final assembly taking place in Goodwood - where all Rolls-Royce cars are built. We could also assume that a green light for a Rolls-Royce SUV would be based on the success of rival SUVs like the Bentley Falcon and Maserati Levante.
