If you're looking at inventory from rollsbentleyimports, I urge you to google search them! Do not let Graham Brownlow steal your money!

Graham Brownlow is unresponsive, and refuses any responsibility in this apparent fraud.

It brings me no pleasure in posting this message, The Rolls Royce in the photo above was purchased by myself from a seller here on Ebay, the seller being rollsbentleyimports. The car was represented to be in excellent original condition with only 55,000 miles and having only had one prior owner. I had also spoke to Graham on the telephone and he maintained that this car was as advertised. The ad also stated that the Shadow had been maintained and just had been serviced. I was impressed with the excellent seller feedback remarks left on rollsbentleyimports seller page, and I made the mistake of not having the car inspected as I am nearly 2000 miles away from the seller.Little did I know what a mistake this would turn out to be... Having a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II had been a life long dream in my family, until I did business with Graham Brownlow.

Here are just some of the issues not disclosed by Graham Brownlow of rollsbentleyimports.

1) Car took over three weeks to arrive after payment of over 23k was sent.

2) Car was in such a state of disrepair, wouldn't drive off of truck.

3) Serious leaks of all systems.

4) Towed Shadow to highly qualified RR tech for full inspection, at great $$$.

5) RR shop claims $13,460.53 needed just for car to be road legal in CA state!

6) Second independent RR Tech in Los Angeles gives quote of $28,000.00 least amount needed for car to be in decent cosmetic and driving condition, and only decent condition at that.

7) Emissions equipment absent entirely, all cats, egr, etc unacceptable!

8) Completely worn out front and rear suspension components, as well as badly rusted.

9) Entire brake system needing complete rebuild, very dangerous!!!

10) Transmission fluid burnt, shifts are harsh and transmission may require replacement.

11)Paint bubbles everywhere, prior bodywork improperly performed.

12) Extensive rust throughout undercarriage, very dangerous because of location of some of the rust near and around suspension components.

13) Power seats frozen into place at the rear most position, unable to even sit properly in car.

14) Dangerous fuel line leaks from front and rear.

15) Thin leather dye repair job which has broken when touched?

16) Mold in rear carpet area.

17) Accumulator and all spheres in need of replacement.

18) Banks A and B of Carbs need to be rebuilt.

19) Rear diff worn out, whines at speed.

20) Front windscreen badly pitted.

21) Door locks not working.

22) Dizzying exhaust leak into interior, very dangerous!!!!

23) Tired engine, unacceptable levels of blow by and uneven compression across all cylinders.

24) Tire side walls cracked, hubcaps badly dented and scratched.

25) Radiator clogged, Tech said engine mechanical condition is evidence of overheating prior to having received car.

Ebay buyer protection didn't help me because of the age of this vehicle. I should have done my homework.

Man drives Rolls-Royce for 78 years then makes museum donation to ensure its preservation

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Mr. Allen Swift died in 2005 at the impressive age of 102, but his automotive story is even more remarkable. Not only is the gentleman credited with owning a Rolls-Royce automobile longer than anyone else in the world, but he had the forethought and funds to ensure its future preservation after his death.
In 1928, while living in Springfield, Massachusetts, Swift's father gave him a 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster as a graduation present (Springfield and Rolls-Royce have a history - from 1920 to 1931, the British automaker built 2,944 vehicles in the city as part of its attempt to establish a US plant). The young man was passionate about his green-over-green softtop convertible, not only driving it on a regular basis, but maintaining it meticulously over the decades (the two door-received a complete body-off restoration and engine rebuild in 1988).
Rolls-Royce acknowledged Mr. Swift in 1994, awarding him a crystal Spirit of Ecstasy award for his length of ownership. By 2005, Swift had logged more than 170,000 miles on its analog odometer and he was recognized as the oldest living person to have owned a car from new. He passed away that year.

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.
