This incredible RHD 1967 Rolls Royce was purchased from Frank Dale and Stepsons in South London in 1982. Amazingly it was flown by Pan-Am Cargo 747 to JFK and picked up by the Rolls enthusiast lady owner and driven back to the Pacific North West. It arrived in New York with 78k miles on the clock, it now has just 88,070. Much historical paperwork authenticates this fabulous old Rolls and its mileage. This is a very rare early production Shadow low serial # SRH2350. It has all the 1967 period correct features not found even on some 68 models. It has picnic tables, quarter vent windows, chrome interior door pull handles, rear factory headrests, badge bar, original and working factory radio/power antenna etc. Other than having paintwork done due to bumps and bruises here and there, it's been serviced and is otherwise completely untouched over the past 46 years. This is an amazing project for anyone who knows and appreciates these early Shadows. The car was placed on blocks, covered and stored around 1995 and only re emerged about 2 months ago this year when the lady owner sadly passed away. With respect, she obviously loved this car from the day she set eyes on it. The body is solid as are the rocker panels. The front valance is rusted and replaceable with a newly available re manufactured panel, in fact just about any part new, repro or s/hand is available for these cars now. Every piece of original rubber weatherstriping is perfect with zero deterioration or damage, as is the original "Everflex" roof. There is no rust under the top, the floor, the trunk etc. The only other corrosion is a small dime side area on a rear quarter panel and a small patch low down by the rear mudguard and that's it! This car has a strong smooth running smoke free motor, the very rare "Hydramatic" 4 speed transmission (fitted to U.K. Right Hand Drive cars only) shifts through all the gears perfectly, all jacking tools, bag and battery box cover components are present but no tool kit or handbook. The car always starts up either by the key or by the under hood solenoid button as fitted to these early models. Coolant holds pressure beautifully with zero leaks, oil change and filter has just been done. It drives smooth with plenty of hesitation free power on the road. Please note this is a project car that will need at the very least proper servicing before being seriously driven anywhere! The exhaust system is blowing, the tires although "brand new looking" were new at 81k in 1983!! The brakes work but need servicing, some suspension parts require new seals, plus most probably hydraulic pump service/replacement etc. Interior is superb in every way. All windows work but need assistance going up. Driver power seat works, other has faulty switch. All other electrics work. Door cappings need re varnishing, wood dash is superb plus all gauges work exc clock, headlining, padded dash etc is totally original and superb. Cream/beige interior "Connolly" hide is amazing and superb as are the "Wilton" wool leather bound carpets complete with original drivers heel pad still in place. Nothing inside has been re colored re touched or messed with. Paintwork is old, dull and needs to be redone. Exterior chrome I would rate at a 5 out of 10. Radiator shell casing needs re soldering on one seam where the lead solder let go. So there you have it, I love this old car (anyone would) but it needs time and money spent on it by someone who knows Rolls Royce's. There is no reserve to make this totally unique one of a kind vintage Rolls Royce a very attractive and affordable project for just about any pocket book. Remember you are bidding on a 46 year old antique car that spent nearly 20 years in storage. Vehicle needs to be transported, has never even had USA plates put on it, serious buyers only, buyer responsible for shipping, low feedback or zero feedback ebay bidders must contact me first with your phone number before bidding or your bids will be cancelled, $1,000.00 deposit required within 48 hours of auction end from winning bidder, full payment required within one week of auction end. Thanks!

Rick Ross crashes Rolls-Royce in drive-by attempt [w/video]

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Rap star and exotic-car enthusiast, Rick Ross, had a double-close call on Monday morning, escaping harm in what appears to be an attempted drive-by shooting.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, Ross was driving his 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost (pictured) with his girlfriend, Shateria Moragne-el, as a passenger at 5:00 AM on Monday. An unnamed gunman in another vehicle opened fire on Ross' car, causing the rapper to turn a corner, lose control of the vehicle and eventually crash into the wall of an apartment complex. Neither Ross nor Moragne-el was injured, despite reports that "dozens" of ammo casings were found at the crime scene.
Ross had been out celebrating his birthday on Sunday night; at nearby restaurant Floridian and a club called LIV in Miami Beach. Reports indicate that the restaurant was also the target of gunfire - some 15 shots that "sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle."

Everybody's doing flying cars, so why aren't we soaring over traffic already?

Mon, Oct 1 2018

"Where's my flying car?" has been the meme for impending technology that never materializes since before there were memes. And the trough of disillusionment for vehicles that can take to sky continues to nosedive, despite a nonstop fascination with flying cars and a recent rash of announcements about the technology, particularly from traditional automakers. Earlier this month, Toyota applied for an eye-popping patent for a flying car that has wheels with spring-loaded pop-out helicopter rotors. The patent filing says the wheels/rotors would be electrically powered, while in on-land mode the vehicle would have differential steering like tracked vehicles such as tanks and bulldozers. At an airshow in July, Aston Martin unveiled its Volante Vision Concept, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle it developed with Rolls-Royce. Aston says the Volante can fly at top speeds of around 200 mph and bills it as a luxury car for the skies. Audi used the Geneva Motor Show in March to unveil a flying car concept called the Pop.Up Next it developed with Airbus and Italdesign. If the Pop.Up Next, an electric and autonomous quadcopter/city car combo, gets stuck in traffic, an app can be used to summon an Airbus-developed drone to pick up the passenger compartment pod, leaving the chassis behind. Audi said that the Pop.Up Next is a "flexible on-demand concept that could open up mobility in the third dimension to people in cities." But Audi also acknowledged that at this point it has no plans to develop it. The cash-stoked, skies-the-limit Silicon Valley tech crowd is also bullish on flying cars. The startup Kitty Hawk that's backed by Google co-founder Larry Page announced in June that it's taking pre-orders for its single-seat electric Flyer that's powered by 10 propellers and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The current version can only fly up to 20 mph and 10 feet in the air and has a flight time of just 12 to 20 minutes on a full charge. The Flyer is considered a recreational vehicle, so doesn't require a pilot's license. Uber says it plans to launch its more ambitious Elevate program and UberAIR service in 2023. "Uber customers will be able to push a button and get a flight on-demand with uberAIR in Dallas, Los Angeles and a third international market," Uber Elevate promises on its website.

Grey Poupon's Pardon Me Lost Footage ad airs during Oscars

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Those of you that took our tip and tuned in for last night's Academy Awards may have caught the latest iteration of the famous Grey Poupon commercials, featuring a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans and their condiment-loving stewards. The update to the 1981 commercial was only shown in part on television, however, as the mustard company directed viewers to its website to see the entirety of the Lost Footage spot. Of course if you didn't bother then, you can just scroll down to see the full-length two-minute commercial here.
As you're viewing, note that the Grey Poupon marketers did not, it would appear, get official sanction from Rolls-Royce this time around. While the Rollers in the commercial have all sorts of James Bond-like accouterments, they don't appear to have the official Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornaments, for example, and they have restyled lights and grilles. Check out the new spot below, and see if it stacks up to the iconic Pardon Me original.
