1984 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, Hooper Adaptation? Custom Leather, Like Bentley Rl on 2040-cars
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
|
up for sale is this VERY RARE 1984 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SPUR LWB. this car has what i believe to be a Hooper coach built adaptation. that being the case she is one of just a handful built. i made an enquiry last friday (7/11/2014) to obtain the factory chassis card (build sheet) and i will have it in hand within the next few days. i will post the results of it here on ebay. she is listed on the CHARLOTTE NC Craigs list and i reserve the right to sell at anytime and close the auction.
what makes me believe the car to be a Hopper is not just the classic Hooper small back glass but also the specially pleated leather door panels and seats and the rear armrest vanity. the car also has a leather covered and interior colored matched gear selector cover. it also sports a high dollar Nardi steering wheel and horn push and very unusual door wood caps. it also has a full set of front and rear lambs wool over rugs. the car starts easily hot or cold and runs well. it has hardly been driven for the last 18 months and so the gas is stale. a gas tank flush, fresh gas and a good tune up will undoubtedly do the old girl the world of good. right now the car will comfortably drive around the neighborhood but she has not seen interstate speeds for awhile. any inspection is welcome and encouraged. she will happily drive onto a transporter and i am happy to get you a quote to have her delivered. you may call or text 864 617 1596 up until 10PM eastern standard time. the brake lights stay on monetarily after the car starts as is usual for these cars and then they both go out. in my opinion it would be a good thing to flush the system and refill with fresh fluid. the tires are almost new with 95% tread left. the oil pressure is very good hot or cold and the car does not run hot even if left idling for 30 minutes or more. there is a half engine speed tick when the engine is cold but this soon dies away so i am sure its just a lifter being slow to pump up after she has sat idle so long. all the lights work and the car has the desirable European oblong single glass headlights. the drivers door PWL just whizzes up and down as do the two rear windows but the front passenger window is sluggish going up. it gets there, its just slow. the heat works very well and works on all its settings except windshield defrost. probably a stepper motor is stuck or has gone bad which would not allow the flaps the switch from dash to windshield. the heat and A/C fans work very well. the A/C will not come on and my opinion is that the unit needs a fresh charge of Freon as the compressor will not cut on. the A/C fans work on all settings but simply blow normal air. the car is VERY VERY solid and apparently has spent most of its life in California. i imagine it was sold new there, we shall see what the chassis card says. there is only one VERY minor drip under the car and this is directly around the oil pan drain plug. it is of not consequence its that minor. the hubcaps are aftermarket and while they suit the car i would want the originals on it. the body is straight apart from a few very minor dings and scratches, see close up pictures. if i were keeping the car i would definitely have it sanded and painted. it needs it. the right outer grill upright has a ding at the top and the left has a tweak at the bottom. the rear bumper horizontal rubber needs to be re painted but it is not all banged up or has pieces knocked out of it. please refer to pictures. the drivers seat works very well in all positions as do both mirrors. the front passenger seat is sometimes slow to respond to the electric toggle switch, probably bad connections. if you have any questions at all or need specific pictures i encourage you to call or better yet stop by and see the car in person. any inspection is welcome and we can put her up on a lift for you so you can have a really good look underneath. FULL PAYMENT IN THREE DAYS. the ONLY methods of payment are CASH IN PERSON or a BANK WIRE TRANSFER. no other type of payment will be accepted and if you cannot comply with these simple terms then simply do not bid. thanks and good luck y`all. |

Even in a down economy, Rolls-Royce is on a roll
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Limited Volume, Big Margins Spell Success
Bigger isn't always better, especially when it comes to selling super luxury. Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös expects the British automaker to again post a record year, despite the economic troubles in Europe and weak growth in both the US and China.
"It is not all doom and gloom out there," Müller-Ötvös explains, noting that the declining sales in Europe and elsewhere have been offset by good performance for the marque in the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Russia.
Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue
Wed, Oct 9 2019Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra. In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors." The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â
Rolls-Royce celebrates Goodwood with Chicane edition Phantom Coupe
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Of all the automakers out there, perhaps none scream "race track" as quietly as Rolls-Royce. But the British luxury automaker has its home near the Goodwood Motor Circuit, and has honored that proximity with its latest special edition.
Called the Chicane, it's based on the Phantom Coupe and is upgraded with a series of tastefully motorsport-inspired details. It's painted in gunmetal grey with a matte black hood and windshield frame, with matching gunmetal wheels - a modern Rolls-Royce first - and a red interior decked out with carbon-fiber trim and a checkered flag motif that's repeated on the exterior coachline.
The special one-off was commissioned by the dealership in Dubai and was created by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke division. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
