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.

Ultra-luxury automakers like Bentley and Rolls-Royce need to hurry up with EVs
Wed, Jul 21 2021In the five years that I've worked at Autoblog, I've read a lot of press releases. They're all pretty flowery and self-serving, but the ones that go the extra distance with lavish words and pompous phrasing tend to come from the most luxurious brands, Bentley and Rolls-Royce. And something that they both love talking about is sustainably sourced materials for their vehicles. The descriptions read like they've seen the light about using resources responsibly. That would be great, except for one thing: There's nothing sustainable about multi-ton land yachts with eight or more cylinders. Only one of Bentley's models can be had with fuel economy better than 20 mpg combined when running on gasoline, and guess what, it's not one of the brand's two plug-in hybrids (which are to be commended, but still seem half-hearted when we're talking serious sustainability). And Rolls-Royce is even worse without a single model even hitting 15 mpg combined. These automakers should have at least one EV model apiece. Apparently, there are some coming, but they're still years away, and that frankly shocks and frustrates me for a number of reasons. One of the big ones is that these brands couldn't be better suited to electric propulsion. What makes these cars impressive is their refinement and performance. You can't get much better in either of those categories than with beefy electric motors, which provide nearly silent operation with no gear changes and enormous power and torque ratings. And it's all achievable with a lot less effort than making an 8- or 12-cylinder internal combustion engine quiet and smooth. Sure, battery technology is complicated, and it's expensive and heavy, but all of that is covered by these brand's typical products. They can command prices that would easily absorb the cost of batteries. And the size and weight of current cars mean that loading them up with batteries to achieve range comparable to their gas models wouldn't be a problem, either. Heck, that's the exact strategy being used by GM and Ford to get huge range in their electric trucks. 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo S View 41 Photos And the cost of the EV technology shouldn't even be that great for Bentley or Rolls-Royce, since they're both owned by companies that are leaders in electric car development with existing technology and the ability to spread costs out over various brands.
Rolls-Royce dealer incentive could take $15K off a Cullinan or Ghost
Mon, Jan 8 2024When a carmaker wants last year's models off dealer lots at the beginning of the new year, one standard tactic is to offer incentives either to customers or to dealers. Rolls-Royce is an automaker with last year's models on dealer lots at the beginning of the new year, and on top of that, a refreshed Cullinan and a refreshed Ghost are due later this year. That explains the dealer bulletin Cars Direct said it saw that informs dealers, "Rolls-Royce Motor Cars NA is introducing a Non-FS and Regional Rate Cash Program to stimulate sales and to promote all aging units to be retailed by the end of March 2024." The cash specifics: $15,000 that can be spent on the $375,000 Cullinan and Black Badge Cullinan, as well as the $350,000 Ghost, Ghost Extended and Black Badge Ghost. The "non-FS" part refers to the financial services division, meaning the vehicles in the promotion can't be financed through the automaker's loan department. BMW, Rolls-Royce's parent company, makes this distinction regularly, offering a $9,900 "Non FS Credit" on the XM last November, for instance. In that case, buyers who did finance an XM through BMW Financial were also offered a $9,900 loan credit. No such deal on the English side of the Munich empire. Because this is a factory-to-dealer incentive, dealers don't need to disclose the offer nor give the buyer the benefit even if a buyer knows about it; this is a reward for the storefront for getting the model off the lot at a price the dealer is happy with, not an incentive for a shopper. Don't get the idea that Rolls-Royce shoppers are put off by discounts, though. It's all about the phrasing and the delivery. Dropping $15,000 on the hood would be unthinkable. A dealer asking an interested shopper who's on the fence, "What if I threw in the 21-inch tri-colored pinstripe wheels you want and took $10,000 off?" Well, that's making a deal, and everyone loves making a deal. So if Santa was especially kind, or you were especially naughty and made your own bundle, there's almost three months left to take advantage. According to the bulletin, the program ends March 31, 2024. Related video: 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Tour
Rolls-Royce planning one or two new models based on the Ghost
Wed, 29 Aug 2012Fourteen years after Volkswagen bought Bentley, its English brand has two distinct lines, Mulsanne and Continental - with numerous variants at the Continental's lower price point - an SUV on the way and perhaps a sports car and a Mulsanne convertible, too. In the 14 years since BMW bought Rolls-Royce, its English brand has the Phantom and Ghost - with three variants at the Phantom's much higher price point. Rolls-Royce doesn't chase sales, but the difference in the brand direction helps explain why Bentley has sold more cars in the first six months of this year than Rolls-Royce sold all of last year.
And even though Rolls-Royce isn't solely about the tally, it would still like to improve on the 3,538 cars it sold last year - a sales record that eclipsed a mark set in 1978. To do so its CEO is planning one or two more Ghost-based models beyond the as-yet-unnamed Ghost Coupe due next year, perhaps to be called the Corniche, according to a report in Autocar. A convertible version of the Ghost Coupe is the obvious guess for one of them, and it would get the double-R "closer to 4,000" sales, where the CEO would like to be.
Sales might not be the only part of it, though; the headline of the Autocar piece says the CEO wants the new models because they're "required to give Rolls-Royce a proper identity." If that is accurate, we have no idea what kind of identity Rolls-Royce could be missing that would be served by a wider range of cars in the Ghost range, which by their place in the brand's own lineup are admittedly not the most opulent carriages on the planet.
