1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Ii * One Owner * Immaculate Original Condition on 2040-cars
Valley Stream, New York, United States
|
1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II -One owner. -Completely unrestored and in 100% original factory condition. -Meticulously maintained by the original owner since new. -106,xxx miles. -Overall immaculate for its age. -Original everything (mechanicals, paint, interior, chrome, glass, lighting, electronics, etc), all in pristine condition functionally and cosmetically. -Garaged since new. -Never modified or abused. -100% accident free with a clean and clear history and title. -Only serviced using original Rolls Royce parts since new. Mechanics: -Starts, runs, and drives great with no problems. Starts on the first turn of the key, idles smoothly, and accelerates with full power and proper compression in all cylinders. As per all 30+ year old European cars, there is a normal "warm up" period required on cold starts only. Meaning, if not used regularly, upon starting the car for the first time it will need a few minutes at idle for all of the fluids and mechanical components to get up to normal operating temperature. This is only on cold start. -The transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through all of its gears. Absolutely no slipping, delays, or problems of any kind. The gear selector is on the steering column and has a very effortless, yet precise feel when changing throughout gears. -The suspension and steering have a very confident feel that is both firm and precise, yet also very soft and comfortable. Words cannot describe how great this particular example rides. I welcome and encourage any potential buyers to see the car in person and experience it for themselves. -The brakes do work well and leave me with full confidence in their stopping power, however there is a warning light on the dash, one of the two brake pressure warning lights. Only the "2 Brake Pressure" warning is lit, the "1 Brake Pressure" warning is NOT lit. Fortunately, it does go off at times -- usually after driving the car for about 10-15+ minutes. I have not had the time to have this checked, however I'd like to disclose it to the new owner. -No leakage of any fluids anywhere on this vehicle. -A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days. Heater works flawlessly as well. -Wheels and tires are all in great shape as well. -This beauty drives like it's on clouds, with extreme effortlessness, "the car drives you". It is extremely solid and feels like the brilliantly crafted luxury car that it is. Cosmetics: -Beautiful two tone exterior finished in the sought after Silver Sand over Chestnut Brown with an equally beautiful Tan leather interior with Banana piping. Both interior and exterior are in amazing unrestored original condition. The color combinations are absolutely beautiful. -Paint is in excellent shape all around. Overall a solid 9/10. Deep and glossy, it still bares its original luster in all of its glory. Extremely minor bubbling under the paint, a little bigger than the tip of a ball point pen, is starting to pop up in a very small and unnoticeable section on the passenger side where the rear wheel well meets the lower rocker. There is no rust showing, it is just bubbling under the paint, but the paint itself over the bubbling is not cracked or chipped at all. It is barely noticeable, though I'd like to disclose it to the new owner. -All rubber and weatherstripping is original and has held up great throughout the years. Virtually crack free, it is still fresh looking, and not dried-out as commonly found on cars of this vintage -No rust around the front and rear windshields, which is another commonly found problem on cars of this vintage. -The entire structure which makes up the car is extremely solid and completely rust free. The floors, wheel wells, and rockers are all extremely solid as well with no rust. -It is continually evident that this car was meticulously cared for and constantly garaged. -The interior is in immaculate condition all around. Overall a solid 9.5/10. The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in great shape with no stains, rips, tares, or defects or any kind. All of the wood is in magnificent condition with absolutely no cracking, splitting, or chipping of the veneer. The wood's color and condition beautifully compliment the car and it's color combinations. It all comes together oozing old world English craftsmanship. The headliner looks like new, with not even the slightest of sagging anywhere. The leather is all in amazing shape and looks like new. There is some extremely minimal wear on the driver's seat, but absolutely no rips, tares, holes, or defects of any kind anywhere. -All chrome is original and exceptional with no pitting, cracking, or oxidation anywhere. -All glass and lighting is also original and in excellent shape. -The hood, trunk, and all four doors open and close with precise craftsmanship similar to that of a safe. Disclaimer: Despite being a meticulously maintained, one owner example of this English built luxury sedan, it is a used 1980 model year Rolls Royce with 106,xxx miles. For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car. It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 34+ years old. Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order. Car is sold as-is, where-is. No warranty is express or implied. I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns. Good luck bidding! I have many more photos that I can email any interested parties. I also have many detailed videos of the car driving from different points of view. |

Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release
Wed, 14 May 2014With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.
Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design
Thu, 28 Jun 2012Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.
The cars of notorious dictators
Tue, Apr 21 2015It's good to be the king, at least until your people have had enough of you. Last week, we brought you famous presidential cars. This week, we're going to the opposite end of the political spectrum, looking at what history's mad men drove throughout their repressive and violent regimes. These dictators were absolutely powerful, and absolutely corrupt. More nightmares for their people than rulers, their iron-fisted control gave them the ability to satisfy any wild desire with nearly limitless funds. While they all splurged on luxury goods, cars were a particular passion of many dictators. Cars make a powerful statement to the public about wealth, status and control. It's how you are presented at ground level to your adoring masses or mortal enemies. A custom luxury car with plenty of armor plating reinforced the specialness and "otherness" of the ruler to friend and foe alike. Muammar Gaddafi, Libya, 1969 - 2011 Lybia's President for Life Muammar Gaddafi fancied himself not just a car enthusiast, but a car designer for the masses as well. He supposedly designed a car called the "Saroukh el-Jamahiriya" or Libyan Rocket. It had a 230-horsepower V6 and the nose and tail of a rocket. He was trying to produce a safer car. What makes it safe car? Tough to say. Not a lot was ever released it. Apparently the el-Jamahiriya did come with airbags and collapsible fenders in case of a collision. A spokesperson said "The invention of the safest car in the world is proof that the Libyan revolution is built on the happiness of man." We'll just have to take his word for it. When he wasn't designing his own cars, Gaddafi was ordering up custom rides, large and small. Besides a heavily armored BMW 7 Series and a Mercedes S-Class stretch limo, Gaddafi had this custom Fiat built at a cost of $260,000. The gold in the trim is real gold (of course) and comes with some touches that are pure Gaddafi. For instance, the Fiat badge was replaced with an outline of the continent of Africa, with Libya cut out in green. Rebels seized the Fiat and Gaddafi's other trappings of power after putting an end to Gaddafi's 42 years in control. Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Haiti, 1971 - 1986 Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier was the second-generation dictator of Hati from 1971 to 1986. He made life hell for his people for 15 long years, starting when his father died when he was just 19 years old. Imagine if Justin Beiber was given a tiny island nation to run.
