You are Bidding on a 1973 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. As you can see the picture of the odometer it reads a little less miles because that picture was taken at a photoshoot and after the drive home it sits in my garage at 90213k.  This car has been repainted. It has a beautiful paint job and clear coat. The car is a pretty tricky color, in some photos it looks black/blue, but the actual colors are dark metallic hunter green on the bottom and caribbean blue on the top, with caribbean blue rings on the hubcaps, and tan pinstripes down each side of the chrome trim on the body and double tan lines around each hubcap. The interior is tan leather with dark chocolate brown carpet and in great shape, just normal wear, Although the wood trim on this car is not 100% perfect it is in very good shape, in my opinion not an issue on restoring it, it looks very good throughout the entire car. This car has been garage kept and very well maintained. The car starts and drives like a dream. I bought this car and drove it 1000 miles straight home and it never skipped a beat. It has a new battery and tires as you can see in the pictures (tires..it has a new interstate battery not pictured). Comes with two sets of keys, toolkit & jack (although some tools are missing), clear California title, the original blue California plates, original build sheet, a digital copy of the parts catalogue and service manual, and a few other pieces of paper work that I received when i purchased the car. As you can tell from the pictures this is a beautiful car, it is NOT a 10 footer. These are the only flaws that I have noticed on the car are as follows:


Small scratch on drivers side back window pillar (pictured)
Small nick on drivers door (pictured)
Does not have original radio, has been replaced with cassette player (pictured)
Small paint bubble on driver front fender, i tried to take a picture of it but it is really hard to see, i just want to mention everything so there are no concerns while bidding
Bright lights will not turn on, could be due to a switch or could just need new bulbs
Rear bumper needs new bushings
The door jams should be buffed and cleaned up
Broken wood on glovebox door (pictured)

I am very anal about my vehicles, so these issues although very minor are things that I would fix on the car if I were keeping it, therefore I feel like there is need to mention them. I am extremely happy with this car, and it turns heads like crazy, the only reason I am getting rid of it is because, I am young and it is time for a new project, but I am certainly not giving it away... If it doesn't bring what I know it should I will gladly keep and enjoy it. This car is being sold ASIS.   Buyer will make shipping arrangements, or pick up arrangements, and pay actual shipping costs. Feel free to email or call me with any questions or concerns. 

Thank you and happy bidding,
Nathan Brown

Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design

Thu, 28 Jun 2012

Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.

'Most expensive safety deposit box in the world' has a Rolls-Royce ferry

Wed, Dec 4 2019

Ultra-high-end security and storage company International Bank Vaults (IBV) has several locations around the world, but as of next week, none will be more exclusive than the London branch. IBV is set to open a new vault with what's claimed to be the most expensive safety deposit boxes in the world. With price come perks, however, including a personal Rolls-Royce Ghost chauffeur to take customers to and from the vault. According to The Guardian, IBV, owned by South African millionaire Ashok Sewnarain, decided to open the new vault as a response to rapidly increasing demand for private wealth storage from the world's richest people. “We wonÂ’t deal with millionaires," managing director of the new facility Sean Hoey said. "We will be dealing only with billionaires.” For the top tier of the rich, a full room can be rented out for about $3.3 million per year. On a much lower scale, the cheapest available safety deposit box will cost about $785 to rent per year. Those boxes are pretty small, however, at about two inches high, 6.3 inches wide, and 19.3 inches deep. Hoey says it's enough space to store jewelry or "a fair few gold bars."  At this location, when the customers need to deposit or withdrawal spare gold bars in between polishing sessions, a chauffeur will arrive in a Rolls-Royce Ghost for proper luxury transportation. To get to the underground vault, two door people will take clients through fingerprint and iris scans. The vault itself is secured from theft attempts by steel lining in the walls, ceiling, and floor. Read more and see photos of the building on The Guardian. This content is hosted by a third party.

U.S. issues new tariff threat, this time against British-built cars

Mon, Jan 27 2020

WASHINGTON — Britain is the United States' closest ally but their long friendship may be sorely tested as the two countries try to forge a new trade agreement after Britain's exit from the European Union. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday in London that he was optimistic that a bilateral deal with Britain could be reached as soon as this year. But Mnuchin gave up no ground after a second meeting with his UK counterpart, Sajid Javid. Javid has insisted that Britain will proceed with a unilateral digital services tax, despite a U.S. threat to levy retaliatory tariffs on British-made autos. Mnuchin told reporters after Saturday's meeting that such taxes would discriminate against big U.S. tech companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. The UK Treasury declined to comment on the private meeting. The divide highlights the challenges ahead as the Trump administration seeks a new bilateral agreement with Britain, part of a broader push to rebalance relations with nearly all its major trading partners. The stakes are high — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has pegged the trade deal with United States as a way to ease the pain of breaking with Europe, Britain's largest trade partner. U.S. President Donald Trump, has promised a "massive" trade deal to support Brexit, the product of a populist movement similar to his "America First" agenda. The goodwill and special relationship the two countries have enjoyed for decades may not count for much, experts say. "Trump is not going to be doing Johnson any favors," said Amanda Sloat, a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington. "He's not going to give him a trade deal without major concessions." Even before the digital tax issue arose, the Trump administration threatened to tax foreign car imports, which could hit British-made Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini, and Honda Civic hatchback cars. Stiff U.S. trade demands include increased access for U.S. farm goods, concessions that will be difficult for Britain's entrenched natural food culture to swallow. The United States also wants Britain to change the way its National Health Service prices drugs and allow in more U.S. pharmaceuticals, which could prove politically unpopular for Johnson's government. Washington's demand that London block Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd for national security reasons could also cloud talks.
