SELLER REMARKS

Despite what you see on TV and in movies, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is still the ultimate display of wealth. Not "just won the lottery" wealth, not "NBA rookie" wealth, but the kind of old-school money that extends back generations. No other car quite delivers the heavy-duty wallet slap that this 1974 Silver Shadow does and you don't have to worry, because we won't tell anyone just how affordable it really is.


Rolls-Royce would have painted your Shadow any color you wanted, but they really preferred subtlety to flash, and this handsome silver Silver Shadow is just the way they liked it. Repainted once just six months ago, it has a brilliant gloss that looks expensive and doesn't hide any bodywork or accident repairs. And as you'd expect from the world's finest automaker, the gaps are tight, the sheetmetal simply FEELS substantial, and the finish work is exemplary. It's not perfect, not after 40 years, but this is still a very impressive motorcar. Nobody else does chrome as well as the British, either, with just the right amount to imply wealth and sophistication without going overboard, so you get a tidy strip along the sides of the body, simple bumpers, and, of course, that towering Rolls-Royce grille shell that is perhaps the most definitive in all of motoring history. No goofy padded roof, no dated 1970s colors, and no questionable repairs make this car an A-list celebrity, even today.


The bright red interior is perhaps a little flashy, but you have to remember that red Connolly leather was prized by motoring enthusiasts as far back as the 1910s. Aside from some light wear on the driver's seat and walnut trim, the interior is in exemplary condition for its age and showcases genuine hand craftsmanship and the finest natural materials in the world. The wool carpets are deeper and plusher than the stuff in your living room and everything that looks like wood really IS wood, all cut from the same tree to ensure uniformity of color and grain. Simple Smiths instruments seem too plain for the car, but their understated functionality is ideal for the no-nonsense Roller. Everything was standard, too, including electric windows and locks, A/C, cruise control, and power seats, which for 1974 was quite a list of features. The original AM/FM radio remains in the dash and is augmented by a hidden Pioneer AM/FM/Sirius head unit, but otherwise it is factory-original and splendidly maintained. Even the trunk is outfitted with plush, expensive carpets that are bound in leather, more proof that good taste knows no boundaries.


The massive "six-and-three-quarter" liter V8 engine was rebuilt less than 2500 miles ago by a noted British car specialist and runs superbly. That can't have been an inexpensive task given the complexity of the machinery, but it does mean that you can enjoy this car without worries. As the saying goes, an inexpensive Rolls-Royce is the most expensive car you can own, so keeping this one in top condition will cost you far less than bringing a broken one back from the dead. In truth, these are truly reliable machines in their own right and the brawny V8 moves the big sedan without apparent effort. The GM-sourced TH400 3-speed automatic transmission is, of course, bulletproof and the fully independent suspension with disc brakes all around gives this 5500-pound luxury sedan rather agile handling. Most importantly, the brakes were converted to DOT3 brake fluid, so no worries about mineral oil replacement in the future, and the underside looks as though it's spent its life someplace warm. Uniroyal whitewall radials have been fitted and the understated hubcaps are the smart choice.


Look like a millionaire for pennies on the dollar, but you may also find that this is a fun car that's quite enjoyable to own if you love to drive. Call today!

Rolls-Royce Ghost gets minor updates for 2013

Thu, 01 Nov 2012

Befitting a creature called the Ghost, it was there and then it wasn't: Rolls-Royce dropped a few details and a picture of the 2013 Ghost, then removed all trace of it from the corporate site. The Internet can't keep a secret, though, so we have the goss on a carryover sedan with a few upgrades.
Next year's model takes its inspiration and several new tricks from the Ghost Six Senses concept revealed at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year. The new natural grain leather, cross-banded wood veneers and "exciter" (high-range) speakers come straight from the concept. A new alloy wheel option is also available, but the single press photo doesn't show the same alloys used on the Six Senses car. Not shown in Beijing but on the menu for the coming sedan is Comfort Access, the ability to open the trunk by waving your foot under the rear bumper as long as you have the key on your person. It is the first Rolls-Royce to get the option.
The price gets an upgrade, too, rising $7,050 to $260,750. Part of the increase is in the gas-guzzler tax, which climbed to $2,100 from $1,700 because of a new EPA calculations for fuel economy. As if you'd be worried about gas when you own a Ghost, but just in case, it will return 13 miles per gallon city and 21 mpg highway.

Rolls-Royce could go electric, if battery tech advances

Thu, Sep 17 2015

After toying with the idea a few year ago, Rolls-Royce isn't ready to completely give up on the idea of an electric model quite yet. Still, a hyper-luxurious EV from the opulent brand might not happen any time soon. "Suppose we find a battery technology that can offer ranges that are acceptable to our customers," brand boss Torsten Muller-Otvos said, according to Automotive News. "I can definitely imagine a fully electric Rolls-Royce." Muller-Otvos was clear that no final decision on an EV or even a much-rumored plug-in hybrid has been made yet. Rumors of an EV from the brand go back years. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce showed that it wasn't completely against going electric. The 102EX concept (pictured above) was based on a Phantom but with two, 194-horsepower electric motors and a 71-kWh battery to power them. The company claimed the behemoth had an estimated range of 124 miles and could hit 60 miles per hour in under eight seconds. At least one journalist even got to drive it. However, the brand's wealthy customers reportedly weren't convinced, and the project was canned. In 2014, several reports began suggesting a plug-in hybrid Rolls under development that would answer concerns about range and charging time amongst the clientele. This powertrain could debut on the next-gen Phantom around 2017, and it's likely to be borrowed from parent company BMW.

Ugur Sahin returns with Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II design

Sat, 15 Dec 2012

The "Round Door" Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (inset) is a magnificent black beast of a car (and you can see it at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a limited time) as well as a mystery: designed by the Jonckheere Works in Belgium in 1935, all records for the one-of-a-kind coupe were destroyed in World War II, so no one knows who designed it or who commissioned it. What remains of the original coachbuilding company now makes bodies for cars and buses, and has asked designer Ugur Sahin to reinterpret the most fabulous car from its history.
We've written about Sahin often before, recently about his Corvette-based Anandi being shown at Top Marques Monaco and going into production. For a man who favors long hoods and short bodies, this particular Rolls-Royce couldn't be better. Sahin says the word "Respect" guided his lines for the 77-year-old car, the most apparent changes being the front fender treatment, the headlights dropping into the fenders, and the serious downsizing of the fin at the rear. Sahin says that there are talks with potential investors about building a one-off.
You can find out a little more about it in the press release below, and check out the gallery above of high-res images for every angle.
