NO RESERVE L@@K !!! WOW !!!

 

Thanks for looking at another one of my classic car auctions... I have had this car since 2012 and really don't give it the attention a vehicle of this status deserves (MEANING IT'S SIMPLY JUST SITTING)... I purchased this car from an elderly doctors wife from Nashville, Tennessee. He had it for a great number of years and as his health declined so did his attention of this wonderful classic... Since I've had it I've spent well over $5,000 in upkeep and needed repairs as follows (all work was preformed by a local Rolls Royce repair facility in Northwest Illinois):

REBUILT front calipers (4) with proper Rolls Royce kits & stainless steel pistons

New front ROTORS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW NGK proper Spark plugs from BENTLEY DOWNERS GROVE (NOT AUTOZONE)

NEW REAR ACCUMULATORS & SEALS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE)

ALL NEW OEM DRIVE BELTS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE) NOT PEPBOYS !!!

CHANGED OIL & FILTER

NEW BATTERY

Antifreeze, transmission, diff, and power steering fluids flushed and changed as well... Mineral oil was flushed and bled during the installation of the rear accumulators.

 

All in all it's a strong running and  driving car and is roadworthy. All power windows work. Radio works but the antenna sticks once it reaches half way. Power door locks work 90% of the time and sometimes don't, (loose wire?)... A/C is cold, but only holds Freon for a a few months (slight leak, may be cheaper just to recharge every three months then fix). AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON !!! This happened when I let the battery go dead over the winter, it needs to be reset by a Rolls dealer (FOLEYS RR of Northbrook QUOTED ME $150). Oil pressure sending unit for the gauge is faulty, oil pressure is fine. It leaks a few drips of oil, but to be fair all of my 7 other Rolls Royce and Bentley's do... If I think of anything else I'll post it, but I feel it's all on the table...

Paint is a 6.5 out of 10... It has a few chips (mainly near the gas flap). One obnoxious scratch on the trunk about 1.5 inches long. The paint color is "MAGNOLIA" a very pretty color... Looks good or even great from 10 feet away, but after further inspection it has its fair share of cracks and wear to the paint. I would also like to mention I noticed previous paint work in areas (NOT FROM COLLISION) probably from up keep of higher standards earlier on in it's life. SHORT AND SWEET, I'd repaint it... But it's up to you...

The interior is also "MAGNOLIA" and features a saddle colored piping and dash. The leather is free of ant tears or rips. Being an off white it will need to be dyed to look new. The wood was redone on all four doors and looks good. carpets are ok too... I have all tools and took kit. I cannot get the center caps to stay on, I put them in the trunks for safe keeping...

 

MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN... I AM SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION TO PURCHASE A LATE MODEL BENTLEY GT... I THINK IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE FOR ME TO HAVE A LATER MODEL CAR VERSES A DOZEN OLDER ONES NEEDING MINOR TLC... I WILL BE SELLING my 1964 Bentley S3 Project and my BEAUTIFUL 1965 Bentley S3 next... I have sold several Rolls Royce and Bentley recently and have 100% feedback. My car is sold "as is" and is subject to local interest and I have it on other sites. Please ask questions or come see it/drive. But remember if you bid, you're buying... I'M SELLING WITH NO RESERVE !!! I have OVER $15k in this car, MY LOSS is YOUR GAIN !!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME: (847)826-2584 or classiccarking@yahoo.com

 

REMEMBER...... NO RESERVE MEANS IF YOU BID YOU BID TO BUY...

TITLE IN HAND CASH OR WIRE (OUT OF STATE BUYERS)

NO SCAMS OR DREAMERS PLEASE !!!

 

GOOD LUCK & HAPPY BIDDING !!!

249 reasons you want to go to Goodwood Revival

Sat, Sep 16 2023

At 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.

The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers

Fri, Jun 24 2016

It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.

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.
