1980 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II Superb Low Mileage 3 Owner Car in Exceptional Condition This is a superb example of the last production year of the legendary Rolls Royce Silver Shadow & Wraith series. All the problems had been sorted out and the best of the series development was included in this year. This is not a fuel injected car so you are ahead of the game! I can tell you that this car seems like it drives just like new. It is truly exceptional and shows that it is a 28,000 original mile car. Every aspect of the car is wonderful. You would need to have the entire Rolls Royce experience of driving and inspecting it to understand why we are pricing this car above most of the other Rolls you typically see on ebay. My feedback for all the cars I have sold is exceptional and can feel secure that the description I am providing is accurate. We have a lot of documentation for this car. The COMPLETE Owners Book and Documents are provided along with the original ordering sheets, trucking pickup from the factory by Brown Jenks and delivery & inspection information. There are also lots of receipts but none covering the first the years 1984 to 1997 (we suspect the car was serviced properly by the same wealthy owner during that time). The car was delivered new to Universal Motor Company in Honolulu, HI. The certificate of origin is dated April 30, 1981. The car was first sold to Paradise Palms Vacation Club on Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu. The early inspection and delivery repairs were done at Universal Motors. In January through April 1982 the car lived in Stateline, NV and we have receipts showing that the car was in Reno, NV and Modern Classic Motors of Reno performed warranty service work. On May 20, 1982 the car's warranty was transferred to Effie Marie Cain of Dallas, TX who appears to be the wife of R. Wolford Cain the co-founder of Southern Union Company. We have receipts showing Mrs. Cain's as the owner up to August of 1983. We have no records between 1983 and 1998 however we are fairly certain Mrs. Cain owned the car the entire time. A collector in Dallas purchased the car in December 1998 and owned the car until I purchased it November of 2012. We have extensive repair records since 1998. After we purchased the car we had Ronny's Garage in Santa Ana, CA go over the car. Ronny is a very well known Rolls Royce mechanic and is highly regarded in Rolls Royce Owners Club circles. Ronny inspected the car and found it to be excellent. He rebuilt the accumulators, serviced the air conditioning, fixed the cruise control and repaired a number of other small items. Since then the rear shock absorber upper strut rubber mounting piece has failed so there is an occasional knocking of it when going over large bumps. Exterior The exterior was repainted at some time to exceptionally high standards. The paint finish is outstanding and I had the entire car color sanded and deep polished when I acquired it. The Everflex top is essentially perfect and absolutely beautiful. I don't see any evidence of rust under the top but invite a professional inspection. All chrome & stainless is spectacular. All glass and glass sealing pieces are near perfect. Truly the exterior is this car is just outstanding. Click on any exterior photo below and the very large original photo will be loaded. You can then zoom in to see the car in detail. Interior The interior is overall in superior condition. All leather seating is excellent. Door panel & dash leather is also excellent. Carpeting is in near perfect condition as are the soft wool floor overlays. Headliner is in essentially perfect condition. The wood is overall superior but does have some cracks that you can see in our photos. All lights & gauges work properly as do all window lifts and the door lock system. The combination of dark blue hides & carpet with the wood is simply spectacular! The interior has no musty spell and is just of fresh leather and wool....luxurious to the senses! Click on any interior photo below and the very large original photo will be loaded. You can then zoom in to see the car in detail. Mechanical The mechanics of the car have been fully reviewed and are in excellent condition and work properly. As with any 33 year old car it is advised that you have your own inspection performed. I did one just a year ago and am perfectly satisfied that the car is in superior roadworthy condition. Conclusion This is the 5th Rolls Royce I have owned. Prior to this I has a 1979 Shadow, 1976 Wraith, 1976 Camargue and a 1965 Phantom V. This is absolutely the nicest driving Rolls Royce I have ever owned. The low mileage, superb mechanical & cosmetic condition all supported by just 29,000 miles with obvious excellent servicing since new makes this an ideal choice for any Rolls enthusiast or collector. The clear Montana title is in my name and the car is currently in Orange County, CA. Please do not request to come see the car unless you are a very serious purchaser.

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival
Sat, Sep 16 2023At its most basic, Goodwood Revival is a long weekend worth of car races featuring cars made before 1970. There are lots of those, though, including some pretty great ones all over the world. But nothing is like Goodwood Revival because it's so much more than "just" vintage car racing. First, you have to look the part. Attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in period clothing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, with a strict dress code enforced should you want to enter the paddock. The goal is to create a more authentic atmosphere to match the cars and the meticulously restored and recreated paddocks, grandstands and other facilities of the reborn Goodwood circuit. Now, the dress code was relaxed this year since the Saturday was literally the hottest Sept. 9 on record in that part of England, and the organizers didn't want people dropping dead because they needed to wear an ascot. Some people definitely took the "relaxed" bit too far, but there was still plenty of atmosphere maintained. It really does make a big difference, as those "relaxed" individuals were often akin to seeing a Starbucks cup in a scene from "Game of Thrones." You can see what I came up with below along with former Autoblog editor Reese Counts and various other Goodwood attendees. Second, there's the parking lot. But I'll let this entire separate post detail that. Third, there's the enormous carnival-like area featuring vintage-looking rides and various boutiques. Both of those are on the outside portion of the track, and honestly, you could easily just spend your entire day in the parking lot and carnival/shopping area without even crossing over into the circuit area. There you'll find more shops, food and drink opportunities, plus obviously, race car paddocks and the track itself. Fourth, there are airplanes! I heard there are fewer than in the past, but they're there and they're cool. The Goodwood circuit started out life as the perimeter road around the World War II airfield RAF Westhampnett. Fifth, with all of the above, Goodwood Revival really is fun for the whole family. It isn't just a bunch of old guys sitting around in lawn chairs. There are plenty of women and adorably dressed children, including babies in vintage prams. It's also not an event that's exclusively for the uber rich, even if they are certainly in full force given who has the sort of money needed to go vintage racing.
Rolls-Royce builds its second Boat Tail, one with a pearl theme
Fri, May 20 2022Last year, Rolls-Royce introduced the stunning Boat Tail custom-built convertible. Even with a rumored cost of around $30 million, the company had three buyers. The second of the three cars has been revealed, and this one is themed around pearls. Apparently the buyer's father harvested pearls, and the buyer runs the business that stemmed from it. So that's where the theme came from, and Rolls-Royce ran with it. The exterior's rosy white paint with white and bronze flake, and the contrasting hood, are based on the oyster shells the buyer provided for inspiration. The rear deck features a walnut veneer with brushed-finish rose gold pinstripes. The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament is also rose gold-plated. The interior has leather that matches the exterior paint. The center tunnel is again covered in the same walnut veneer as the rear deck. The clock and the gauges feature mother-of-pearl in the faces, and the clock's material came from the buyer's personal collection. As with the other Boat Tail models, the car has a split-opening rear that houses dishes and flatware, as well as an umbrella. The umbrella can be attached to the rear, and fold-out chairs allow the car to be the ultimate outdoor eating location. The entire car is also hand-built with custom aluminum panels. Powertrain details weren't given, though being based on the Phantom, it probably has the same turbocharged V12, eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive as the mainline sedan.

BMW warns profits will fall, plans $13.6 billion in cost-cutting
Wed, Mar 20 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — BMW said Wednesday that profits in 2019 will be "well below" last year's, and it will cut 12 billion euros ($13.6 billion) in costs by the end of 2022 to offset spending on new technology. The company said profits would be eroded by higher raw materials prices, the costs of compliance with tougher emissions requirements and unfavorable shifts in currency exchange rates. The Munich-based automaker also faces increased uncertainty due to international trade conflicts that could lead to higher tariffs. "Depending on how conditions develop, our guidance may be subject to additional risks; in particular, the risk of a no-deal Brexit and ongoing developments in international trade policy," said Chief Financial Officer Nicolas Peter. The company forecast a profit margin of 6 to 8 percent for its automotive business, short of the long-term strategic target of 8 to 10 percent, which it said still "remains the ambition" for the company if given "a stable business environment." BMW said it had no plans for layoffs even as it outlined cost saving measures that include dropping half of its engine variants as it seeks to reduce product complexity. The BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands are to get a single sales division. Peter said that given the headwinds to earnings, "we began to introduce countermeasures at an early stage and have taken a number of far-reaching decisions." The company said the measures were needed "to offset the ongoing high level of upfront expenditure required to embrace the mobility of the future." Automakers around the world have faced heavy up-front costs for technology expected to change how people get from one place to another in the next decade. Those include electric cars and renting cars through smartphone apps. Yet the returns from such investments remain uncertain and auto companies face competition from tech firms such as Uber and Waymo. BMW made 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) in net profit last year, down 17 percent from 2017, when it booked a gain of $1 billion from U.S. tax changes. The company faced headwinds from increased tariffs on vehicles exported to China from the United States. It also suffered from turmoil on the German auto market when companies faced bottlenecks getting cars certified for new emissions rules. BMW faces uncertainty from U.S.-China trade tensions that could result in new tariffs if talks do not result in an agreement. U.S.
