This amazing Rolls Royce was purchased new from Bentley & Rolls Royce of Beverly Hills by world renowned Otto Heino.   Otto cherished this car and owned it for over twenty years while residing in Ojai, CA.   I am the third owner.   I have owned various Rolls and have been very pleased with this car.

Otto is an internationally acclaimed potter, one of the few potters who can keep a refined shape in a large vessel.   An eye for form and skill of throwing aside, Otto's potting required great strength.  He was able to throw 100 pounds of clay at once !

He received many of the highest distinctions and awards.   His works have been exhibited at the Picasso Museum in France, SF De Young Museum, LACM, NY American Craft Museum, Smithsonian, Boston Museum of Fine Arts amongst others.   He called himself the oldest and richest potter in the world.      If you like art, worth taking a look at his works..

Back to the car which is why you are here.   I just wanted the new owner to recognize and hopefully appreciate the history a bit, as I have.   Now back to the car.

It is a great example of a car that has been driven locally, maintained and enjoyed in it's original state.    The paint is original and best to convey the two tone is like a champagne/soft gold over a dk brown/black.. which changes in the light, day and night.    The interior is in great condition with newly recovered backings of the extra plush rear floor mats and foot rests.   I have restored the back shelf panel and the leather dash, yet rest is very nice.    Wood is very nice w/ some typical spots of fine line stresslines in few areas.

While Otto resided in Ojai he still often serviced the car in Beverly Hills and I still have a few records from him.   In 1999 he had the radiator recored and got a new thermostat installed, also replaced the gas springs.   Back in 2005 Otto had new fuel pump, new injectors and wiring installed.

In 2009 new owner had the car serviced and had fuel distributor rebuilt, replaced spark plugs, new fuel accumulator and retrofitted A/C for R134 charge.

In 2010 all new tires put on at 47,226 miles.

In 2012 the car was serviced at Jim Rickman Motors (very well known in Pasadena) -    In 2013 I have too serviced the car at my local shop and have replaced battery as well.  

Please enjoy the pictures and best of luck with the beautiful Rolls.

First Dawn from Rolls-Royce raises $750k in charity auction

Sat, Feb 6 2016

Even for a Rolls-Royce, $750,000 seems like a lot of money. But that's how much one customer paid this past weekend for the privilege of acquiring the very first example of the new Dawn convertible. And we're glad to report that the the money is going to a good place. Rolls-Royce introduced the Dawn this past September at the Frankfurt Motor Show as the convertible counterpart to the Ghost sedan and Wraith coupe. It's set to take on the likes of the Bentley Continental GTC and Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet, packing a 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 good for 563 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque up front and a folding fabric roof over its four-seat cabin. The company's Bespoke division set up this particular example in Andalusian white, with a deep red roof, red coachline, and a corresponding interior in red and white with Indian rosewood paneling and special treadplates. Valued at over $400,000, the vehicle was donated for the charity auction at the Naples Winter Wine Festival held this past Saturday to benefit the Naples Children & Education Foundation. The winning bid of $750,000 was placed by insurance mogul and hedge fund manager Julian Movsesian, pictured inset at left with Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos. He'll take delivery in April from the dealership in Naples before anyone else gets theirs. Over the same weekend in Arizona, an Acura NSX sold for $1.2 million, a COPO Camaro for $300k, and Jay Leno's Harley-Davidson edition Ford F-150 for $200k – all of them the first of their kind, and all benefiting charitable causes.

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013


Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

Rolls-Royce considering carbon coachbuilding?

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

There's any number of applications in which you might expect to find carbon fiber on an automobile, but a Rolls-Royce is not one of them. That could change in the near future, however, as the super-luxe auto marque is reportedly looking into using the lightweight material on a range of special models.
The idea, according to Edmunds, would be to rebody certain models in carbon fiber as a sort of in-house coachbuilding operation for discerning customers looking for something a little different from what the neighbors in the next mansion or ivory tower over have in their gold-paved driveway. While the carbon-fiber bodywork might help shave off some of the weight from a range of cars that tip the scales at 5,500 pounds or more, the principal notion here is exclusivity.
The business case for these bespoke automobiles apparently stems out of two developments. For one, the vast majority - over 90 percent - of Rolls-Royce customers opt for some manner of customization or another. For another, parent company BMW has been working hard to reduce the cost of carbon-fiber production in particular for the new i3, and that expertise could turn these premium-priced creations a greater cash cow for Rolls-Royce than the development of a sport-utility vehicle ever could.
