I am selling a stunning 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I.

This old-school luxury vehicle is powered by the legendary Rolls-Royce fuel injected 6.7 liter V8. The amazing motor is coupled with a GM THM 400 three speed automatic transmission. The buyer will be thoroughly satisfied with the pristine condition that the this vehicle is in - both aesthetically and mechanically.

This all original survivor from nearly three decades ago is finished in a beautiful black paint with tan vinyl top. The exterior is complemented by four white wall tires wrapped around the original 15 inch Rolls Royce wheels.

When the new owner takes a seat inside of this exquisite example of British craftsmanship they will immediately notice how well preserved and elegant the interior is. Tan saddle leather wraps the seats and door panels and is complimented by traditional hand-made wood grain accents which adorn the doors, dash and very unique fold down tray tables in the rear.

This car has nearly all of the features you would expect to find in a modern vehicle; Air Conditioning, an AM/FM Radio which has had a Pioneer 6 Disk CD player added to it, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Eight way adjustable Power Seats and Power Windows.

This gorgeous 1985 Silver Spur Mark I has just 47,828 original miles and could surely go much much more. It has made it nearly thirty years and is still in pristine condition - it has at least thirty more ahead of it.

This is a two-owner car. The original owner had the vehicle from 1985 - 2002 and the second owner has meticulously maintained the vehicle until they recently decided to sell it. I have all of the original books that came with the car in addition to an extensive and thorough documentation of the vehicles service history. I have given bidders as many photos as possible and can happily send more upon request. The vehicle is available for showing upon appointment only.

It is my opinion that this vehicle falls into the classification of a "Condition 2" car according to Hagerty.com's Price Guide Report. "Condition 2" is defined as "#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."

The median price for a "Condition 2" 1985 Silver Spur is $17,400. Due to the extremely low mileage I believe my reserve price is set accordingly and gives bidders a true chance to own an amazing vehicle for less than market value. As in a real auction I will not reveal my reserve price to people who email me asking what it is. My advice would be to bid until it is off IF you are seriously interested in this vehicle.

Only 6,240 Mark I vehicles were produced from 1980-1989 making this a collectible vehicle and a rare piece of automotive history.

Notes about the 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I: In 1985 Rolls-Royce standard saloons received some minor revisions which mainly focused on the facia and interior trim. Externally the headlamps wash & wipe system gave way to high pressure jets mounted on the bumper, which eliminated the need for separate wipers. In addition to some subtle re-styling, the cars received burr walnut veneers, even more elegant than before, that extended to the door cappings. On the early Silver Spirit cars this was limited to finishers formed from walnut. Operation of the cruise control was simplified, the air conditioning outlets were slightly repositioned within the center console, and the digital display was modified to be all the more informative.

In 1985 Rolls Royce produced their 1,000,000th vehicle.

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart metals, OTA updates, Rolls-Royce LNG ship

Wed, Mar 16 2016

"Smart" metals could help engines reduce emissions and invigorate US business. Metallurgist and University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee professor Pradeep Rohatgi combines known metal alloys with materials like ceramics, nanoparticles, and recycled waste to produce strong, lightweight composites with self-lubricating properties that help internal combustion engines run more efficiently. Rohatgi hopes his startup, Intelligent Composites, and its products can help US foundries compete with production outsourced overseas. See the video above, and read more at Phys.org. Almost 203 million cars will be capable of over-the-air (OTA) updates by 2022, according to ABI research. While Tesla has the OTA firmware updates nailed down, other automakers will focus on software update capability. This will take the place of dealer-installed updates and - like Chrysler did after the Jeep hacking incident - updates sent to owners via USB drives. OTA updates will enhance vehicle security and reduce recall rates. Read more at Green Car Congress. European bus manufacturers have agreed upon a standardized charging interface for their electric buses. Irizar, Solaris, VDL and Volvo will use pantograph charging for "opportunity charging" and CCS plugs as the base for overnight charging and network communication. The manufacturers hope other bus makers and charging providers to join them in cooperation over standardized charging. Read more at Green Car Congress. The second Audi Autonomous Driving Cup will take place from March 22 to 24, 2016 at the automaker's Museum Mobile in Ingolstadt, Germany. The competition involves eight university teams implementing basic Audi software in 1:8 scale electric Audi Q5 models, and putting them through the paces of simulated real-world driving situations. The teams develop software architecture to use the suite of sensor to have the cars drive, park, maneuver in traffic and perform emergency braking autonomously. Teams also perform a freestyle event where they put the car through an additional task of their choosing. The winning team gets Âˆ10,000, with smaller prizes for second and third place. The competition also gives the students the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of a potential employer. Read more at Green Car Congress. Rolls-Royce will provide the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) propulsion for an NSK cargo ship carrying fish food. The ship will deliver 2,700 metric tons of fish food to fish farms along the Norwegian coast.

2018 Rolls-Royce Phantom spied on the inside

Mon, Jun 6 2016

The Grey-Poupon set has a new digital reality in store for 2018. Or at least its drivers will. Today we've captured the next-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom during testing, and decadent sedan will feature a digital instrument panel. These photos show large screens in front of the driver and on top of the center stack – a marked change from the traditional dials. This digital cluster is among a slew of changes that will dramatically update the Phantom. It will also run on a new aluminum platform, which will underpin all Rollers from 2018. The coupe and Drophead coupe will also be killed off with the outgoing seventh generation, which has run for 13 years. Rolls-Royce said from the start the new ultra-luxury sedan would feature significant updates. In a statement, chief executive Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes called it "a contemporary and beautiful Phantom enhanced with cutting-edge technologies and design innovations." Still, the eighth Phantom will look like, well, a Phantom. Despite the "enhanced ... design innovations" Mueller-Oetvoes is pitching, the exterior styling looks largely evolutionary. We're expecting another Roller staple, the traditional V12, to provide the usual mustard-hauling power.
