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.

Rolls-Royce's next bespoke project is a Dawn-based two-seater roadster

Thu, Mar 12 2020

After the Sweptail, a customer-commissioned one-off coupe unveiled in 2017 and priced at $13 million, Rolls-Royce is transforming the Dawn into a two-seater roadster inspired by some of the opulent cars it made during the 1920s. The BMW-owned company released a quartet of early design sketches to preview the model. It's visibly based on the Dawn, which is a topless evolution of the Wraith, but it gains a tonneau cover that Rolls-Royce refers to as an Aero Cowling. Dark trim on both ends and a model-specific shade of silver add a finishing touch to the look. Although the interior images reveal little, Rolls-Royce noted every Silver Bullet will feature an open-pore carbon fiber insert and a quilted transmission tunnel whose design is inspired by leather jackets. All told, the company promised its next limited-edition car will "meld the nostalgia of the past with the sophisticated innovation of the future." Needless to say the Silver Bullet will be made almost entirely by hand in Goodwood, England. The firm made no mention of mechanical modifications. Power will likely come from the Dawn's 6.6-liter V12, which is twin-turbocharged to 563 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque in its standard configuration. We expect the Silver Bullet will benefit from the 593-horsepower, 620-pound-feet evolution of the V12 found in the Black Badge model, because the extra power would suit the model's touring pretensions rather well. Just 50 units of the Dawn Silver Bullet will be available worldwide. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but keep in mind the standard model carries a base price of approximately $350,000. The company will encourage owners not to stash their roadster in a heated garage as an investment by organizing road trips they can participate in. Related Video:    

This exploding Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is angering, mesmerizing

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Between Las Vegas and the emirates of the Persian Gulf, we're sure there are Rolls-Royces to be found in the desert all the time. And we don't doubt that, given those locations, one gets torched every so often. There'd probably even be someone in a tuxedo or evening gown running for cover when it happens, too. The thing is that we're seldom if ever there to watch it go down, much less capture it in stunning high-definition, frame-by-frame video when it does.
That's where this four-minute clip by Tyler Shields comes in. The American photographer and filmmaker staged and captured this Silver Shadow being doused in gasoline (or at least what we're supposed to believe is gasoline) and set afire in the Mojave Desert, along with actor Cru Ennis and actress Ana Mulvoy-Ten.
It's heartbreaking but mesmerizing, and you'll want to watch the video for yourself to see which side you fall on. If it's the former, take solace at least in the fact that the Silver Shadow is far from a rare beast. In fact, it remains by far the most prolific Rolls-Royce ever, with over 30,000 made between 1965 and 1980... so we doubt this one will be missed terribly.

Rolls-Royce starts a turf war in the Garden of Wraith

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The Rolls-Royce Wraith would not be our first choice for hooning. Sure, it's god 624 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels, but it's an automatic, it costs the better part of $300,000 and it's laden with more leather, wood and carpeting than Harrod's. Leave it to Tax the Rich to toss it around then.
For those unfamiliar, the YouTube channel sporadically features videos of some of the most powerful and expensive pieces of automotive machinery being put up to no good. They've done the Ferrari 288 GTO, F50 (two of 'em, in fact) and Enzo and even the Jaguar XJ220 - twice - but now they've turned their attention to the most powerful Rolls ever, tossing it around the grounds of an old-world mansion estate like it was a Subie.
