BODY: Paint is Pearl White (an older paint job, still showing well) Has a minor "chip" in the paint by drivers mirror. One minor (dime sized ding on drivers door).Left rear wheel arch has a minor bubble. Chrome and hub caps look good. Grill and flying lady are in nice condition as well. The glass is free of cracks or damage. A nice looking car !!!

MECHANICAL: Recently serviced (spark plugs & oil/filter change) also set carbs. (HAS DUAL SU CARBS). Had newer tires (has been sitting) . Steering rack replaced. Had $9,000 in brake work (that was several years ago, comes with several detailed repair logs and invoices) The car stops great, no issues with brakes. Seems to drive locally better then on the highway. Air condition blows cold and heat is hot. All power windows work (rears are a little slow on the way up, but always close on their own) Power door locks work correctly as all of the lights. Only 70500 miles, low for the age. Runs and drives well.  The transmission shifts smooth and engine stays cool. I wouldn't recommend any long journeys till it's been sorted through (been off the road several years, I purchased from a very nice retired man in southern USA). I would also like to mention it's only be run on RR363 brake fluid, very important as you know.

Someone turned a Rolls-Royce Ghost into a real Crazy Taxi

Thu, Aug 11 2016

One of the unexpected perks of the Autoblog office is that we get to see some pretty amazing cars, and not just what's in our review fleet. Right next door is Platinum Motor Cars, a premium used car dealer, and while they have some pretty stunning exotics on display, we noticed something a bit more unusual this week. And this Rolls-Royce Ghost is certainly unusual: It features a vinyl wrap that makes it look like a rusty yellow taxicab. The distinctive logo on the rear door also shows that this Ghost is a rolling tribute to Sega's classic arcade racer Crazy Taxi. Fortunately, we haven't seen it tearing through outdoor restaurants and up sidewalks like you might in the game. We wanted to know more about the car, so we talked to Jonathan Smith from Platinum Motor Cars. He told us that he and the car's owners participate in various cross-country rally events and they needed a car for the Motor City Rally on August 3. Smith explained they picked up a Ghost they weren't worried about putting miles on, and because, as he put it, they "are kids at heart," looked to a video game from their past for inspiration. Smith said they were in a tight spot getting the car wrapped, since the Ghost arrived only two days before the start of the rally. But he explained they were fortunate Envy Auto Group was able to finish the job in just 36 hours. This car also continues their trend of using fun cars for their rallies. Smith told us about the various themes they've had for past vehicles such as a Love Bug-themed Audi RS7, and a "Family Truckster" Mercedes-Benz E63 wagon. The latter of which got the complete olive green and faux wood color scheme to match the movie car. Smith said that the Motor City Rally was the only rally the Ghost will participate in, but they will show it at the M1 Concourse Cars and Coffee, at the Woodward Dream Cruise, and probably a few other local events. So if you happen to be in the Birmingham area, keep an eye out for the yellow Rolls. It's hard to miss. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Wafting In The Fastest And Most Powerful Vehicle RR Has Ever Made
It is said that Rolls-Royce co-founder Sir Henry Royce once proclaimed: "Take the best that exists and make it better: When it does not exist, design it." The second part of that quote is most curious, as the century-old automaker recently introduced an all-new Ghost-based coupe with no apparent peers - a two-door boasting a 624-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V12 with rear-wheel drive and sleek fastback styling.
Yet despite its specifications, it was never planned to be a sports coupe. Rather, the British automaker tells us that it was thoroughly engineered to be, "a car where the sense of arrival and joy of the journey are as important as the canvas upon which it is drawn." Whatever that means.
