1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II
-One owner.
-Completely unrestored and in 100% original factory condition.  
-Meticulously maintained by the original owner since new.  
-106,xxx miles.
-Overall immaculate for its age.  
-Original everything (mechanicals, paint, interior, chrome, glass, lighting, electronics, etc), all in pristine condition functionally and cosmetically.
-Garaged since new.
-Never modified or abused.
-100% accident free with a clean and clear history and title.
-Only serviced using original Rolls Royce parts since new.

Mechanics:
-Starts, runs, and drives great with no problems.  Starts on the first turn of the key, idles smoothly, and accelerates with full power and proper compression in all cylinders.  As per all 30+ year old European cars, there is a normal "warm up" period required on cold starts only.  Meaning, if not used regularly, upon starting the car for the first time it will need a few minutes at idle for all of the fluids and mechanical components to get up to normal operating temperature.  This is only on cold start.
-The transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through all of its gears.  Absolutely no slipping, delays, or problems of any kind.  The gear selector is on the steering column and has a very effortless, yet precise feel when changing throughout gears.
-The suspension and steering have a very confident feel that is both firm and precise, yet also very soft and comfortable.  Words cannot describe how great this particular example rides.  I welcome and encourage any potential buyers to see the car in person and experience it for themselves.
-The brakes do work well and leave me with full confidence in their stopping power, however there is a warning light on the dash, one of the two brake pressure warning lights.  Only the "2 Brake Pressure" warning is lit, the "1 Brake Pressure" warning is NOT lit.  Fortunately, it does go off at times -- usually after driving the car for about 10-15+ minutes.  I have not had the time to have this checked, however I'd like to disclose it to the new owner.
-No leakage of any fluids anywhere on this vehicle.
-A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days.  Heater works flawlessly as well.
-Wheels and tires are all in great shape as well.
-This beauty drives like it's on clouds, with extreme effortlessness, "the car drives you".  It is extremely solid and feels like the brilliantly crafted luxury car that it is.

Cosmetics:
-Beautiful two tone exterior finished in the sought after Silver Sand over Chestnut Brown with an equally beautiful Tan leather interior with Banana piping.  Both interior and exterior are in amazing unrestored original condition.  The color combinations are absolutely beautiful. 
-Paint is in excellent shape all around.  Overall a solid 9/10.  Deep and glossy, it still bares its original luster in all of its glory.  Extremely minor bubbling under the paint, a little bigger than the tip of a ball point pen, is starting to pop up in a very small and unnoticeable section on the passenger side where the rear wheel well meets the lower rocker.  There is no rust showing, it is just bubbling under the paint, but the paint itself over the bubbling is not cracked or chipped at all.  It is barely noticeable, though I'd like to disclose it to the new owner.
-All rubber and weatherstripping is original and has held up great throughout the years.  Virtually crack free, it is still fresh looking, and not dried-out as commonly found on cars of this vintage  
-No rust around the front and rear windshields, which is another commonly found problem on cars of this vintage.
-The entire structure which makes up the car is extremely solid and completely rust free.  The floors, wheel wells, and rockers are all extremely solid as well with no rust.
-It is continually evident that this car was meticulously cared for and constantly garaged.
-The interior is in immaculate condition all around.  Overall a solid 9.5/10.  The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in great shape with no stains, rips, tares, or defects or any kind.  All of the wood is in magnificent condition with absolutely no cracking, splitting, or chipping of the veneer.  The wood's color and condition beautifully compliment the car and it's color combinations.  It all comes together oozing old world English craftsmanship.  The headliner looks like new, with not even the slightest of sagging anywhere.  The leather is all in amazing shape and looks like new.  There is some extremely minimal wear on the driver's seat, but absolutely no rips, tares, holes, or defects of any kind anywhere.
-All chrome is original and exceptional with no pitting, cracking, or oxidation anywhere.
-All glass and lighting is also original and in excellent shape.
-The hood, trunk, and all four doors open and close with precise craftsmanship similar to that of a safe.  

Disclaimer:
Despite being a meticulously maintained, one owner example of this English built luxury sedan, it is a used 1980 model year Rolls Royce with 106,xxx miles.  For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car.  It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 34+ years old.  Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order.  Car is sold as-is, where-is.  No warranty is express or implied.  I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person.

Feel free to email with any questions or concerns.  Good luck bidding!

I have many more photos that I can email any interested parties.  I also have many detailed videos of the car driving from different points of view.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart metals, OTA updates, Rolls-Royce LNG ship

Wed, Mar 16 2016

"Smart" metals could help engines reduce emissions and invigorate US business. Metallurgist and University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee professor Pradeep Rohatgi combines known metal alloys with materials like ceramics, nanoparticles, and recycled waste to produce strong, lightweight composites with self-lubricating properties that help internal combustion engines run more efficiently. Rohatgi hopes his startup, Intelligent Composites, and its products can help US foundries compete with production outsourced overseas. See the video above, and read more at Phys.org. Almost 203 million cars will be capable of over-the-air (OTA) updates by 2022, according to ABI research. While Tesla has the OTA firmware updates nailed down, other automakers will focus on software update capability. This will take the place of dealer-installed updates and - like Chrysler did after the Jeep hacking incident - updates sent to owners via USB drives. OTA updates will enhance vehicle security and reduce recall rates. Read more at Green Car Congress. European bus manufacturers have agreed upon a standardized charging interface for their electric buses. Irizar, Solaris, VDL and Volvo will use pantograph charging for "opportunity charging" and CCS plugs as the base for overnight charging and network communication. The manufacturers hope other bus makers and charging providers to join them in cooperation over standardized charging. Read more at Green Car Congress. The second Audi Autonomous Driving Cup will take place from March 22 to 24, 2016 at the automaker's Museum Mobile in Ingolstadt, Germany. The competition involves eight university teams implementing basic Audi software in 1:8 scale electric Audi Q5 models, and putting them through the paces of simulated real-world driving situations. The teams develop software architecture to use the suite of sensor to have the cars drive, park, maneuver in traffic and perform emergency braking autonomously. Teams also perform a freestyle event where they put the car through an additional task of their choosing. The winning team gets ˆ10,000, with smaller prizes for second and third place. The competition also gives the students the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of a potential employer. Read more at Green Car Congress. Rolls-Royce will provide the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion for an NSK cargo ship carrying fish food. The ship will deliver 2,700 metric tons of fish food to fish farms along the Norwegian coast.
