DO  NOT GO THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT OWNING AND DRIVING A TRUE ROLLS-ROYCE! 

This beautiful 1989, in the R-R brochure color, is in near pristine condition. Garaged and covered all its life, its wood is absolutely perfect. The chrome glistens. The Everflex top is in superb condition. Within the past year it has had its services (oil and filter, transmission check, brake check, new thermostat, upper hose (lower hose supplied) and proper coolant, new rear suspension spheres, new battery) and many other small details attended to.The hides are in very good condition with no cuts, tears or significant wear. (The car was reportedly chauffeur-driven - mainly used for transporting entertainment-type clients around by a New York City area attorney.) No rust, of course.

The custom floor mats are new and -if you want them, the old mouton/lambs wool ones are available but wlll need cleaned and new backing..The car has a custom-made super-soft R-R branded car cover which was used even while it was garaged. Luisi wood steering wheel. (The original black steering wheel is also included.) All manuals, tools,factory spares are with the car.

What does it need?  The cruise control is inoperative. (Not checked or diagnosed as of this time.)  The car could use a professional-type wax and polish to bring out the mile-deep shine of the gorgeous royal blue paintwork even more.

SOME OTHER GOODIES FOR YOU ---

This R-R comes with a few extras... like four new Vogue WSW/Gold-Stripe Tires (Unmounted) -the existing Michelins are still great, but are a few years old. Spare maintenance items such as oil filters, hydraulic fluid, wiper blades, front and rear brake pads (car noes not need new brakes) - incidentally, the front rotors have two calipers each! Touch up paints, seat dye (never used,) a spare front seat back - needs re-dyeing, spare gear selector, new lower radiator hose and lots of other accumulated stuff like wheel covers, instruments, etc.

NOTE: Every year or so I find and buy a special car, fix anything it needs, drive and enjoy it for awhile---then move on. This is one of those. Take a look at my feedback as a Seller to see what buyers of some of my other recent toys have to say. 

Vehicle is for sale locally so bid strongly if you want it. We reserve the right to end this listing at any time.

Grey Poupon to air new version of famous Rolls-Royce ad, this time with car chase [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

Grey Poupon mustard will revive the concept behind its famous Pardon Me commercials with a new ad that will air only once on television during this Sunday's broadcast of the Academy Awards.
The original spot, which showed two one-percenters sharing the condiment between their Rolls-Royces at an intersection, first aired all the way back in 1981, and variations of it continued up through 1997. Kraft, owner of the Grey Poupon brand, is hoping that reviving the commercial will boost sagging sales and raise the mustard's profile with a younger generation of fancy folk.
So why are we talking about this on Autoblog? Because the new version of the ad won't end with a polite passing of the bottle. Rather, we're told a car chase ensues when the Grey Poupon's owner doesn't get it back. We're assuming the two cars in question will again be a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans, probably Phantoms unless they go with more vintage model years.

Rolls-Royce Landspeed Collection honors record-breaking pioneer

Fri, Jun 25 2021

The Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe and Dawn convertible might not be long for our market, but that doesn't mean they're being wholly ignored by their maker. In fact, Rolls-Royce just announced a new limited edition of the stylish pair: the Landspeed Collection. The Landspeed Collection cars honor 1930s speed record-holder Captain George Eyston, who achieved three land speed records, culminating in a run at 357.497 mph in 1938 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Rolls-Royce connection is that Eyston's car, the Thunderbolt, was powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce V12 aero engines. Each displaced 37 liters and produced more than 2,000 horsepower. Unlike the Thunderbolt, the Wraith and Dawn are powered by a single V12 engine, and its output is unchanged from stock. Nor do the Landspeed Collection Wraith and Dawn adopt the record-setting car's triple axles, eight wheels, and large triangular tailfin. More's the pity. Instead, the models are based on the Wraith and Dawn Black Badge. They're painted a two-tone Black Diamond Metallic and Bonneville Blue (a light silver-blue that's specific to this model). Among the unique details: dashboard engraving that mimics the fissured texture of the salt flats, an image of the Thunderbolt's silhouette embossed on the front tunnel, and a special clock that adopts some of the markings of the Thunderbolt. The Starlight Headliner is said to exactly match the night-sky appearance on the date when the final Thunderbolt speed record was set. Rolls-Royce will build 35 examples of the Wraith coupe and just 25 of the Dawn convertible. But even if you're as speedy as Captain George Eyston himself, you won't be quick enough to grab one — they're already sold out.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge combines elevated power, style, luxury

Thu, Nov 7 2019

For once, a black-themed special-edition vehicle actually has some depth. And it had better, because it's a Rolls-Royce. The new Cullinan Black Badge is not simply an SUV with black exhaust tips, a black grille, and black trim work, though it does have all three. In addition to a myriad of design treatments, some of which have never been applied to a Rolls-Royce, the Cullinan BB has increased power, a sportier drive setup, and unique features specific to this vehicle.  One of the most significant upgrades between the base Cullinan and the Black Badge is the performance. Rolls-Royce finessed the twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter to make 600 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, both up from 563 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Zero to 60 takes only 4.9 seconds, and it tops out at 155 mph. The Black Badge also has "intuitive throttle," which makes the ZF eight-speed transmission shift a little more aggressively, and a "low" button on the gear shift opens up a deep-voiced exhaust note. Furthering the package, Rolls-Royce made changes to the suspension components and settings to ready for lively driving. A higher brake point in the pedal travel and redesigned high-temperature-resistant brake discs help keep the SUV in check. This is also the first time ever a Rolls-Royce has used colored brake calipers.  Said to represent the style of a younger generation, "permanent bespoke" Black Badge vehicles undergo a dark transformation. We say dark, because black is not the only paint option. A white model was also shown at the unveiling and contrasted well with other darkened parts on the SUV. Apparently, each paint job is hand-polished for up to five hours to ensure peak shiny. Rolls-Royce emphasized how big of a deal it was to use a black Spirit of Ecstasy, which changed color thanks to a chemical process, not paint or wraps. The inverted badging, grille surround, side frame finishers, trunk handle, trunk trim, lower air inlet finisher, and exhaust pipes also received black makeovers, and new 22-inch black and silver wheels adorn each corner. Inside, "The King of the Night," as Rolls-Royce says (guess that title is available after the last season of "Game of Thrones"), has more all-new features. Crafted with a leather headliner and 1,344 fiber optic strands, the Starlight ceiling is introduced to the Cullinan with eight white shooting stars integrated into the pattern. The carbon fiber has been redesigned with aluminum weave and shows off a 3D geometric pattern.
