Up for sale is a 1986 Rolls Royce Corniche II Convertible. This was part of a large estate collection and is being offered at the lowest reserve ever for a Corniche II. It was brought out of storage and sent over to Master Rolls in Oak Lawn, IL. Martin the master technician over there went through the car and fixed/serviced/replaced everything it could ever need.

The total bill was $11,000 in repairs:

Resealed both brake pumps

Major Tune Up

Oil Change

Complete Brake job (rotors, pads, mineral oil)

Fuel Filter

Air Filter

New Battery

Fuel line service

Rear struts replaced, sealed, oil.

Flush brake system

Top off all fluids

Seals replaced

Power Steering replaced

I am sure I am missing a few things but those were major items. It now runs, starts, drives, and stops as if it were new. AC even works. All the electronics work. Odometer did just stop working for some reason. I can't figure out why, maybe it will start working again. The car is not driven so the mileage is right around 52,000. Tires look new. Mechanically needs nothing to enjoy.

The Corniche spent most of its life in California. It was purchased roughly 10 years ago by the owner now. Comes with the complete manual and documents. I have the receipts for the $11,000 in work as well. That work was just completed yesterday.

Condition of the exterior of the car as you can see looks good in the pictures. The paint is white but, underneath the clear coat it is all spider webbed/cracked. I have no idea how something like this could have happened. It is tough to notice unless you get very close and look. It is very smooth to touch. The red convertible top does have a rip at the bottom driver side corner. Nothing to serious but not perfect. Rims are in great shape no issues. Like I said tires are in great condition. Chrome grill is perfect. The rear bumper has wear on it, the chrome piece has pealed off in a spot. There is are long scratch at the bottom which is pictured.

Interior condition is light tan leather with no rips but shows wear as a almost 30 year old car would. Driver side is the worse as to be accepted.  Wood is very nice and bright no wear there. Carpet is all red and has no rips and looks very nice. It has one of the thick lambs wool driver side floor mats. Radio works, windows all work, top goes up and down on its own. Heat and AC both work. Power seats work. Has the Nardi signed steering wheel option.

Feel free to ask any questions. I am not a dealer so I don't have a shipping company but I can work with anyone's company of choice for shipping out of state or country. $1,000 deposit due within 48 hours. Final payment due within a week.

Watch the Rolls-Royce Phantom live reveal

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Watch the live reveal of the all-new eighth-generation Rolls-Royce Phantom. For decades, the Phantom has defined what it means to be a luxury car. As with other Phantoms, look for metal, wood, and enough leather to support a small farming operation for years. Rolls-Royce Luxury Videos Sedan rolls-royce phantom

Work begins on new Rolls-Royce Phantom, PHEV likely

Fri, 16 May 2014

After reporting that a new Rolls-Royce Phantom would arrive sometime around 2017 in the same timeframe as a Rolls-Royce SUV, Autocar has a few more details on the next coming of the massive English sedan. Both its skin and its bones are being worked out right now, brand design head Giles Taylor telling the magazine that his team is "treading an evolutionary path" with the model, suggesting it will have "more charisma and more edge" as part of a future design language that will have "a charismatic expressiveness."
True, that gives us absolutely no indication of what the car will look like, but it seems fair to assume it will feature more curves and detailing than the present car. The long C-pillar will remain, though, the privacy it affords being "part of the Phantom recipe."
What's underneath could be more detailed as well, the report saying BMW is mulling an i3 kind of build, with an aluminum chassis supporting a carbon fiber bodyshell. Assuming production considerations and costs could be kept in line, the benefits would be a lighter car that offers more latitude with the design, easier implementation of new bodystyles and the segment's technology crown. A lighter Phantom would bring further rewards for its PHEV variant, which Autocar says is "a certainty."

2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost gets high-tech suspension, AWD, rear-wheel steering

Sun, Aug 16 2020

The first-generation Rolls-Royce Ghost started life as a BMW 7 Series, and in 10 years on sale became the best-selling model the brand has known. That sedan ended production last year, leading Rolls-Royce to begin the process of introducing us to the second-generation Ghost. Having abundant feedback from customers about what they'd like in the new model, and, more importantly, having listened to the feedback, Rolls-Royce realized it would need to start from scratch. Engineers modified the aluminum-intensive Architecture of Luxury that supports the Phantom and Cullinan to fit the Ghost's needs, in standard and Extended Wheelbase spec. Instead of the predecessor's rear-wheel drive, the coming Ghost will get standard all-wheel drive. And taking another page from the big brother Cullinan, the entry-level offering will come with rear-wheel steering, too. Going beyond the other two models in the brand's lineup, the Ghost will be the first to fit what Rolls-Royce calls its Planar suspension that brings together three technologies. The first is an upper wishbone damper unit that's been three years in development, placed above the front suspension. The automaker didn't go into details, but the damper unit is said to provide an improvement on the brand's "hallmark magic carpet ride and dynamic abilities." The Flagbearer camera system monitors the road surface ahead to prepare the suspension, a technology offered on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for a few years now. The third Planar trick is a satellite-aided transmission, wherein the ZF eight-speed automatic "draws GPS data to pre-select optimum gear for upcoming corners," a technology already in use on the Phantom. The bodywork won't stray far from what we know; designers wrapped Spirit of Ecstasy opulence into a discrete package. Inside, the gauge cluster will go digital inside three fixed instrument bezels, next to a widescreen infotainment display, and driver assistance features could include everything from night-vision to some advanced self-driving capability. Under the hood, we expect the same 6.75-liter V12 utilized by the Phantom and Cullinan, with something like 560 horsepower. The global situation pushed the Ghost's launch back, we're told. Deliveries should begin early next year, with a debut sometime between now and then. The first-gen ran $314,400 in standard length, $348,400 in EWB guise.
