1974 Rolls Royce
Silver Shadow

** NO RESERVE ** 

Description: This RHD car is burgundy in color with a tan top and chamois interior, it is completely original as far as I can tell except for a radio upgrade. At some point in the past it has been repainted and wood has been refinished. The cars serial number is SRH19979. It carries an Alberta title, the title is clear and normal status. 

Reason for selling: I currently have five Rolls Royce cars and find that because I only use them in the summer that the convertible is the only one that gets driven, as a result I will be selling at least three of the others perhaps four.

Mechanical: The car drives well, it stops starts and steers as it should, there is no indication of excessive oil use and the transmission shifts properly. Even after sitting for long periods of time it starts well. The tires are as new, I have not tried the air conditioning but the belt is still in place. I'm not saying the car is perfect but I would trust it to go on a long road trip. 

Body: The body is in good condition with no sign of rust, the chrome is complete and in good condition, the floors and trunk appear to be very good as do the rockers and wheel openings. Last winter I backed it out of my heated garage to clean up, it was a cold day and the rapid temperature changed caused the lacquer paint to crack badly on the rear fenders and trunk lid, there is a long key scratch on the left side and although from a distance the paint appears to be very nice, it does need to be redone. There is no body work need outside of a minor door ding or rock chip. The doors, hood and trunk lineup nicely and open and close as they should. The Everflex top is in great condition, all the glass is good without cracks or bruises.

Interior: The interior is in exceptional condition, the chamois leather is very nice the headliner is perfect and the wood was professionally restored, the dash pad is very good. The foot rest are present and there are floor mats to protect the carpet. The door panels are excellent.

Overall: This is an unrestored car that has been well cared for, once again it is not perfect but if your looking for a Rolls Royce that won't cost more than you house then this may be the car for you. I have not had  to do any repairs to the car since I bought it two years ago, its a pleasure to drive and and an investment you will be proud to own and display. All older cars need some attention this car is no exception, it will need  paint at some point in the future but is presentable and enjoyable as it is. I'm offering the car unreserved because I'm serious about selling it and if I put a reserve on it at what I feel it is worth or what I paid for it, it may not sell.

Location: The car is located just outside of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, about 3 hours from the US border. If you are a buyer from outside of Canada I will help with importation as I am familiar with US and overseas procedure for importation. I can in many cases help arrange a shipper, but this is time consuming so I will only try to get a quote for the winning bidder, however the Rolls runs well and a road trip in British Columbia might be a great way to spend some time this summer if you want to drive it home. 

Payment: Cash in person or bank to bank wire transfer is acceptable. Payment must be received within 7 days of the close of the auction NO EXCEPTIONS. I can store the car at no charge for several months if needed. 

 Scammers: I've heard it all don't waste my time or yours.

If you have less than 10 feedback please contact me after you bid so I can confirm that you are in fact a serious buyer

Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release

Wed, 14 May 2014

With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.

Watch the other new Top Gear host rap about a Rolls-Royce

Tue, Feb 16 2016

The rebooted Top Gear revealed its full slate of new co-hosts last week, complete with a lineup of names and faces we know – and one we don't. That's Rory Reid, the one new host chosen from public auditions. Though most of us many never have seen his face or heard his voice, he's not new to reviewing cars on video. In addition to hosting automotive videos for CNET and Sky television, Reid is also automotive editor for a British video series called Recombu. Most of the reviews he's done for the YouTube channel are pretty straightforward, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of whatever he's driving – from a Bentley Continental GT Speed or Range Rover Sport SVR to a Mini JCW or Peugeot 308 GTI. But when it came to the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Rory was evidently moved to take things in a different (and original) direction. Instead of simply describing the luxury sedan as most automotive journalists would, Reid rapped about it. The result is a pretty novel take on the usual car review, and no doubt helped him secure the spot on the revived BBC program alongside the likes of Chris Evans, Chris Harris, Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz, Matt LeBlanc, and of course the Stig. See for yourself in the video above, and check out his other reviews in the playlist below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II headed to Geneva

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Rolls-Royce is not a brand that replaces its vehicles with any great frequency. It expands its lineup, sure: what started with just the Phantom saloon has since grown to include extended wheelbase models, coupes and convertibles, not to mention the addition of the Ghost, followed by the Ghost EWB and the Wraith fastback. What Rolls does to keep its models fresh, however, is spruce them up with a Series II.
The Phantom family underwent just such a treatment a couple of years ago, and now Goodwood appears to be preparing to do the same with the Ghost. At least, that is, going by this teaser image it released with only the line, "After five years as the cornerstone of Rolls-Royce's sustainable growth success worldwide, this mid-life update is a showcase for the most recent technological advances from Rolls-Royce enrobed in a considered exterior design revision."
The arrival of the Ghost Series II at the Geneva Motor Show this year would put it significantly ahead of schedule for when Rolls updated the Phantom. That model arrived in 2003 and was followed by the Series II in 2012, giving the original a nine-year run virtually unchanged. The Ghost, however, only reached production in 2010, so introducing a Series II now would shorten that lifecycle to just four years.
