1976 Rolls-royce Silver Shadow I on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I, Beautiful car in fair to good condition, everything is original Powered by a V8
engine paired to a 3 speed automatic transmission. The car has 26,952 original miles.
BODY: The overall body condition is an 8-9 with two small minor dents. One on the leading edge of the left rear
wheel well opening and the other on the right rear fender at and below the side running light. The paint is
scratched on the right front passenger door with no other paint scratches. I expect the dents can be removed using
paintless dent removal. All of the glass is in excellent condition.
PAINT: The overall paint condition is a 3-4. I found one deep scratch on the right front passenger door. Most of
the horizontal surfaces show light cracking much like lacquer paint used to do in times past. There is some
discoloration on the hood and trunk. I believe this paint is two-stage either acrylic or urethane? Given the body
is in such great condition, I believe a respray of the car with very minimal bodywork is needed.
TOP: The vinyl top needs a complete replacement. There is evidence of surface rust under areas that are exposed but
I could not find any areas that were rusted through. Somewhat normal for vinyl tops that are 45 years old.
CHROME: The chrome is in very good condition. An exception would be some light pitting on the front bumper and
light scratches on the rear bumper. The rear bumper rubber on the left side is damaged and will need to be
replaced.
DASH/INSTRUMENTS: The overall dash is in good condition. The area of the ignition switch has most of the paint
chipped off from the key ring. There are two radios both am/fm in the car. There is also evidence that the car may
have been equipped with an early mobile phone mounted between the front seats. There are4 small holes and a large
hole in the console consistent with a radio/telephone in addition to a cellular antenna on the right rear quarter
panel. Due to the battery/not running issue I was unable to test any of the instruments or features.
INTERIOR/UPHOLSTERY: The seats are free of any tears and are not damaged in any way. The dash cap has a couple of
scratches as does the right A pillar that look like an animal may have caused them. The door upholstery is also
complete and without tears or blemishes. The wood garnish finish is showing cracking and some of the urethane is
chipping off of a couple of doors and is faded on the other doors. The bottom windshield garnish is pitted. I
believe all 5 garnish pieces will need resurfacing. The headliner is intact and in good condition. The package tray
shows evidence of staining and will need attention. Carpeting seems good in all areas except under the driver’s
footwell. I found a plastic for sale sign under the floor mat and it had trapped a significant amount of
moisture/heat, (muffler directly below?) causing some of the floor insulation and soundproofing to deteriorate.
There are two remaining very thick floormats in the trunk; one is fairly faded and the other is in fair condition.
TIRES/HUBCAPS: The hubcaps are in good condition with little to no rash on any. The tires are Michelin and have
excellent tread.
TRUNK: The carpeting is in pretty good shape except for the piece that covers the battery compartment. The lower
area of battery area carpeting is deteriorating and will have to be repaired or replaced. The tools that come with
the car are mostly available except for the case that holds them. The jack is included and stored in the trunk
area.

Rolls-Royce commemorates end of Phantom with Zenith models
Tue, Feb 23 2016Rolls-Royce will discontinue the current generation Phantom in 2016 after 13 years. Rolls will also axe the Phantom Coupe and Drophead Coupe in November, and the company won't build new versions of them on its future platform. However, the automaker will send off the pair in style with special edition models. The Phantom sedan will eventually return on Rolls' future aluminum platform, which will underpin all of the company's models. Spy shots suggest minor design tweaks for the new generation Phantom, but there's no mistaking the massive vehicle's chiseled shape. The overall size should remain similar to the current one, but the lightweight metal and carbon fiber should dramatically reduce the weight. Rumors suggest it would still use a V12 for propulsion, and there could be a plug-in hybrid variant later. "I am proud and excited to announce that a new Phantom is on the way – a contemporary and beautiful Phantom enhanced with cutting-edge technologies and design innovations." Rolls CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said. Rolls will also build 50 Zenith versions of the Drophead and Coupe to give the pair a proper farewell from the lineup. These special vehicles will include a Tailgate Hosting Area to party with class, laser-etched armrests that show the launch sites for the 100EX and 101EX concepts, custom instrument dials, a special version of the Spirit of Ecstasy, and more. "Zenith will be the sum of all the best features of Phantom Coupe and Drophead Coupe, with a few surprises added," Giles Taylor, the company's director of design, said.

This announcement follows the recent news that Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has begun testing its all-new aluminium architecture, which will underpin every future Rolls-Royce arriving in-market from early 2018. He also announced that Phantom Coupe and Drophead Coupe models will not be renewed in the future. These two magnificent Phantom models will end their lives with a special collection of only 50 highly desirable cars to be called Phantom Zenith. The current seventh generation of Phantom started production in Goodwood over 13 years ago and quickly became the foundation upon which the renaissance of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was built.
Rolls-Royce says SUV will in fact be called Cullinan, releases photos
Tue, Feb 13 2018We have known the upcoming Rolls-Royce luxury SUV is called is called Cullinan for a while now, but it took until today for the manufacturer to officially acknowledge the name. Referring to the quite simply enormous Cullinan diamond, Rolls-Royce says the name befits the new "high-bodied vehicle," carefully steering around the SUV moniker. "The name Cullinan has been hiding in plain sight since we revealed it as the project name some years ago," says Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos. "It is the most fitting name for our extraordinary new product. Cullinan is a motor car of such clarity of purpose, such flawless quality and preciousness, and such presence that it recalibrates the scale and possibility of true luxury. Just like the Cullinan Diamond, the largest flawless diamond ever found, it emerges when it is perfect and exists above all others." This content is hosted by a third party.

One of the photos depicts a test mule climbing a muddy hill, a territory unclaimed by Rolls-Royces except for ones modified by privateer rally teams. The Cullinan, based on a new proprietary aluminum spaceframe, is expected to be unveiled by late summer 2018, with deliveries starting in 2019. The vehicle's introduction is planned to lift the brand's yearly sales to 5,000 units per year, as they fell to 3,362 in 2017.

Man orders $20M-worth of Rolls-Royce Phantoms
Fri, 19 Sep 2014The term "luxury" gets thrown around a lot when speaking about vehicles that are actually somewhat affordable like BMWs and Cadillacs, but Rolls-Royce and hotel magnate Stephen Hung (above in the wild suit) are proving what real opulence really is with the largest single order from the fabled British marque, ever. Hung is purchasing 30 custom examples of the Phantom Extended Wheelbase (pictured right) for $20 million. To push the deal even further over the top, two of the Phantoms are the most expensive examples ever commissioned.
This assemblage of über-luxury sedans isn't for Hung's personal collection. Instead, the cars are going to be part of the fleet for the swanky hotel and casino that he's opening in Macau, China, in 2016 called the Louis XIII. According to The Washington Post, when the 200-room resort opens, the Louis XIII is supposed to be one of the most mind-blowing places in the world, including a suite that costs $100,000 a night.
When completed, the 30 cars will be in matching crimson red to echo the exterior of the hotel. That color will be carried into the interior trim, as well, including the gauges, and the seats will have a checker board pattern. Each one will be outfitted with a bespoke clock from Graff Luxury Watches. The two most expensive Phantoms will get all of this attention, plus gold-plated trim covering the interior and exterior.
