This incredible RHD 1967 Rolls Royce was purchased from Frank Dale and Stepsons in South London in 1982. Amazingly it was flown by Pan-Am Cargo 747 to JFK and picked up by the Rolls enthusiast lady owner and driven back to the Pacific North West. It arrived in New York with 78k miles on the clock, it now has just 88,070. Much historical paperwork authenticates this fabulous old Rolls and its mileage. This is a very rare early production Shadow low serial # SRH2350. It has all the 1967 period correct features not found even on some 68 models. It has picnic tables, quarter vent windows, chrome interior door pull handles, rear factory headrests, badge bar, original and working factory radio/power antenna etc. Other than having paintwork done due to bumps and bruises here and there, it's been serviced and is otherwise completely untouched over the past 46 years. This is an amazing project for anyone who knows and appreciates these early Shadows. The car was placed on blocks, covered and stored around 1995 and only re emerged about 2 months ago this year when the lady owner sadly passed away. With respect, she obviously loved this car from the day she set eyes on it. The body is solid as are the rocker panels. The front valance is rusted and replaceable with a newly available re manufactured panel, in fact just about any part new, repro or s/hand is available for these cars now. Every piece of original rubber weatherstriping is perfect with zero deterioration or damage, as is the original "Everflex" roof. There is no rust under the top, the floor, the trunk etc. The only other corrosion is a small dime side area on a rear quarter panel and a small patch low down by the rear mudguard and that's it! This car has a strong smooth running smoke free motor, the very rare "Hydramatic" 4 speed transmission (fitted to U.K. Right Hand Drive cars only) shifts through all the gears perfectly, all jacking tools, bag and battery box cover components are present but no tool kit or handbook. The car always starts up either by the key or by the under hood solenoid button as fitted to these early models. Coolant holds pressure beautifully with zero leaks, oil change and filter has just been done. It drives smooth with plenty of hesitation free power on the road. Please note this is a project car that will need at the very least proper servicing before being seriously driven anywhere! The exhaust system is blowing, the tires although "brand new looking" were new at 81k in 1983!! The brakes work but need servicing, some suspension parts require new seals, plus most probably hydraulic pump service/replacement etc. Interior is superb in every way. All windows work but need assistance going up. Driver power seat works, other has faulty switch. All other electrics work. Door cappings need re varnishing, wood dash is superb plus all gauges work exc clock, headlining, padded dash etc is totally original and superb. Cream/beige interior "Connolly" hide is amazing and superb as are the "Wilton" wool leather bound carpets complete with original drivers heel pad still in place. Nothing inside has been re colored re touched or messed with. Paintwork is old, dull and needs to be redone. Exterior chrome I would rate at a 5 out of 10. Radiator shell casing needs re soldering on one seam where the lead solder let go. So there you have it, I love this old car (anyone would) but it needs time and money spent on it by someone who knows Rolls Royce's. There is no reserve to make this totally unique one of a kind vintage Rolls Royce a very attractive and affordable project for just about any pocket book. Remember you are bidding on a 46 year old antique car that spent nearly 20 years in storage. Vehicle needs to be transported, has never even had USA plates put on it, serious buyers only, buyer responsible for shipping, low feedback or zero feedback ebay bidders must contact me first with your phone number before bidding or your bids will be cancelled, $1,000.00 deposit required within 48 hours of auction end from winning bidder, full payment required within one week of auction end.

Rolls-Royce spotted testing even sportier Wraith
Mon, 10 Nov 2014A Rolls-Royce is not what you'd typically consider to be "sporty." Luxurious. Stately. Even powerful, packed as they are with twelve-cylinder engines displacing in excess of six and a half liters. The Wraith set out to change that with a sportier package, more rakish profile and an even more potent version of the Ghost's 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 to make it the fastest and most powerful Rolls-Royce ever made. But now it seems Goodwood is working on an even more aggressive version.
Spotted undergoing testing in parent company BMW's home country of Germany, this particular Wraith might strike you as the same one we've already seen, save for a few telltale details. It may be wearing the same rolling stock as the existing model, with what look like the same tailpipes protruding ever so elegantly around back, but at the bottom of the front bumper and atop the rear trunklid you'll notice more assertive spoilers added on.
To what end, we cannot be certain, but our spotters on the ground seem to think this is a prototype for a more extreme version of the Wraith - possibly inspired by the attention garnered by the Bentley Continental GT3-R. Could we be looking at a Wraith V-Specification like we saw with the Ghost? We'll have to wait to find out for sure, but in the meantime you can scope out the virtually undisguised prototype in the gallery of high-resolution spy shots above.

Rolls-Royce Ghost meets its muddy maker in Jakarta flood
Sun, 20 Jan 2013When severe weather or a natural disaster strikes an area, it's hard to get sentimental over trivial possessions like cars, but at the same time, as auto enthusiasts, it always pains us to see a rare car lost regardless of the circumstances. Heavy rains in Jakarta, Indonesia have produced the worst flooding in the city since 2007, which according to Reuters has left an estimated 18,000 people displaced from their homes in addition to six deaths, leaving the roadways covered covered in feet of water.
One of the many cars claimed by the rising waters was this Rolls-Royce Ghost that is surrounded by water that almost fully covers the massive wheels. There is no word as to how much water got inside this Ghost, but it was obviously enough that it could be bailed out by the bucket.
