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.

Michael Fux sure likes fuchsia — now there's a 'Fuxia' Rolls-Royce

Mon, Aug 21 2017

Over the weekend, we told you about a McLaren 720S done up in a bespoke color at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, an eye-popping fuchsia that McLaren dubbed "Fux Fuchsia." And now it's showing up on a Rolls-Royce as well, unveiled at The Qual in a color RR calls simply "Fuxia." There's a lot more surface area on a Rolls than on a McLaren, so on a day when we're supposed to save our retinas by not looking directly at the solar eclipse, you might consider wearing your eclipse goggles to view the gallery above. The car is, well, vivid. Fux is a Cuban immigrant who made his millions in mattresses as the founder of Sleep Innovations. A mattress is clearly not where he stores those millions, since he has amassed a vast car collection. This "Dawn in Fuxia" car is his 11th Rolls, each highly personalized. "Michael is a very special patron of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars," said RR CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos in revealing the car. "Rolls-Royce designers love working with him because he constantly challenges them to take their work to an even higher level, delivering a true work of art." The color is said to be based on the petals of a fuchsia flower Fux found last year at Pebble Beach. He presented them to Rolls Royce to replicate. As with the McLaren, Rolls is using Fux's car to highlight the fact that it can build you a bespoke car in any color you want — Rolls says it offers a palette of 44,000 choices. Some of Fux's previous Rolls-Royces have come in these custom colors (each officially named using his name): Fux Blue was his Pebble reveal last year. Before it was Fux Intense Jade Pearl; a two-tone of Aequus Green Jade Pearl, Cornish White Jade Pearl; Deep Purple; Candy Red; and Yellow. Related Video:

Someone turned a Rolls-Royce Ghost into a real Crazy Taxi

Thu, Aug 11 2016

One of the unexpected perks of the Autoblog office is that we get to see some pretty amazing cars, and not just what's in our review fleet. Right next door is Platinum Motor Cars, a premium used car dealer, and while they have some pretty stunning exotics on display, we noticed something a bit more unusual this week. And this Rolls-Royce Ghost is certainly unusual: It features a vinyl wrap that makes it look like a rusty yellow taxicab. The distinctive logo on the rear door also shows that this Ghost is a rolling tribute to Sega's classic arcade racer Crazy Taxi. Fortunately, we haven't seen it tearing through outdoor restaurants and up sidewalks like you might in the game. We wanted to know more about the car, so we talked to Jonathan Smith from Platinum Motor Cars. He told us that he and the car's owners participate in various cross-country rally events and they needed a car for the Motor City Rally on August 3. Smith explained they picked up a Ghost they weren't worried about putting miles on, and because, as he put it, they "are kids at heart," looked to a video game from their past for inspiration. Smith said they were in a tight spot getting the car wrapped, since the Ghost arrived only two days before the start of the rally. But he explained they were fortunate Envy Auto Group was able to finish the job in just 36 hours. This car also continues their trend of using fun cars for their rallies. Smith told us about the various themes they've had for past vehicles such as a Love Bug-themed Audi RS7, and a "Family Truckster" Mercedes-Benz E63 wagon. The latter of which got the complete olive green and faux wood color scheme to match the movie car. Smith said that the Motor City Rally was the only rally the Ghost will participate in, but they will show it at the M1 Concourse Cars and Coffee, at the Woodward Dream Cruise, and probably a few other local events. So if you happen to be in the Birmingham area, keep an eye out for the yellow Rolls. It's hard to miss. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
