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

Rolls-Royce gives up on electric, diesel models in favor of hybrid

Mon, Sep 29 2014

Rolls-Royce is not what you might characterize as one of the greenest automakers on the market. Its vehicles tend to be rather large, saddled with lots of plush leather, thick carpets and wood trim, and powered by twelve-cylinder engines in excess of six and a half liters. But that doesn't mean that the stoic British automaker isn't trying to clean up its act, even if its customers haven't responded in kind. Rolls did not receive a single order for the all-electric Phantom. A few years ago, Rolls-Royce showcased an all-electric Phantom prototype called the 102EX (pictured above) and sent it on a global tour to demonstrate to customers around the world. But in speaking to company representatives, Autocar reports that Rolls did not receive a single order for such a vehicle. Nor did customers respond favorably to the idea of a diesel Rolls-Royce. Prospective and existing clients exhibited "significant hostility" towards the idea, despite a diesel prototype that was "effectively inaudible" in comparison to the existing gasoline models while delivering torque-driven performance which the company characterized as "impressive" while significantly reducing carbon emissions. As a result, the diesel project was killed off just like the electric one. That doesn't mean that Rolls-Royce is giving up, though. In the wake of the diesel and electric projects, Goodwood is reportedly proceeding with a hybrid powertrain borrowed from parent company BMW, which offers a wide array of hybrids including versions of 3 Series, 5 Series and 7 Series sedans, the X6 crossover and the i3 and i8 PHEVs.

Rolls-Royce planning plug-in hybrid

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Rolls-Royce is not the first marque you'd think of when it comes to environmentally friendly transportation. Its cars are big - often the size of SUVs - and pack ginormous twelve-cylinder engines displacing over six and a half liters. Those upright Parthenon grilles can't be very aerodynamic, either. But the way the wind is blowing these days, Goodwood will have to get with the program sooner or later.
It developed an electric version of the Phantom a couple of years ago called the 102EX and showed it to customers around the world. But people weren't interested, so Rolls-Royce killed the program. Not to be deterred, however, Rolls is now said to be working on a plug-in hybrid that would countermand some of the shortcomings - like range and recharging times - that killed the 102EX.
The technology would apparently be borrowed from parent company BMW which is developing it for the X5 eDrive and allow Rolls-Royce to reduce its carbon footprint and offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation to those who don't want to skimp on the luxury and prestige.

Rolls-Royce developing new convertible

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Rolls-Royce is not a company that makes a lot of different vehicles, but of the ones it does, it tends to offer several versions. That's how we end up with sedan, long-wheelbase, coupe and (in the former's case) convertible versions of the Phantom and Ghost. And now Goodwood has confirmed development of another model.
Although details in the press release below are few and far between, it does promise to "deliver effortless, open-top touring... with an engaging and exhilarating driving experience." CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös added: "We are currently developing an exciting and thoroughly contemporary interpretation of a pinnacle drophead tourer which will introduce even more discerning men and women to Rolls-Royce ownership."
What that tells us is that the new model - set to reach showrooms "by mid-2016" - will be a convertible that's exciting to drive and more youthful than the Phantom Drophead Coupe. In other words, and in all likelihood, we're looking at the convertible version of the Ghost-based Wraith fastback (like the one we recently spotted undergoing testing, pictured above). Expect it, then, to carry the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12, but with the added rush of wind in your hair.
