I am selling MY 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. This is a low mileage car, that I have personally owned and driven for the last year(clear title, registration, and insurance in MY name). I purchased it with approx. 38,000 miles and have brought it back to life after a few years of being stored. The car is NOT perfect, but it sure is nice. In the last year it has had a new EGR valve, 4 new tires, new rear suspension spheres (gas springs), and a new fuel pressure accumulator. I bought this car because I'm a huge British car fan (obvious from pics) I've always wanted a Rolls, but now I'm moving out of state and can't bring all my cars with me (going to the Midwest and fancy "foreign" cars aren't really appreciated as much).
If you know anything about older British cars, then all I have say is that the paint is "checked"......that means it is "cracking". Hate to say it, but all these older cars with multiple coats of lacquer paint tend to do this. So, that said, the car looks great on the road, but it honestly needs paint to be a show car. This car was ordered with a custom color (Tudor Red), which was not considered standard for the saloon cars, but available on the Corniche Convertible. The interior is tan with red piping and in good shape. The leather has been treated and looks good, but again NOT show quality. this is a nearly 30yo car after all. the Vinyl top also needs to be redone or just removed as it has dried out from the hot desert climate where this car spent most of its life (Palm Springs area).
If you haven't figured it out yet, I prefer to describe my cars honestly and NOT have anyone surprised with what they have bought. I would NOT call this a project car, because you could jump in it right now and drive it across country if you wanted, it runs perfectly. But it is NOT a perfect car. Things that still need to be looked at and perhaps updated.....The A/C doesn't work....I would expect to have to replace the Compressor, but don't panic, its NOT a special Rolls Royce part, it's straight off the shelf GM/Cadillac and you can get them for $200. The front suspension has a minor "clunk" going over speed bumps, and has a pull to the right. Could be an adjustment, but given the age of the car I would probably just rebuild the front end (again parts really aren't expensive and are readily available), but the ride is....well it's a Rolls, leave it at that :-)
The front end of this car is either the updated or UK version with the larger one-piece headlights, and it also has the 3rd brake light. The car was this way when I bought it, so I can't say if this was factory or done later, but it is nice looking. The power windows all work, but the rears are slow (from lack of use). the factory radio (anther GM part) works, but its an outdated POS by todays standards. I would replace it AND all the speakers if you want good music, and that would be the perfect time to lube the inner window channels to get the back windows going quicker. The windshield wipers do NOT work, don't know why, haven't bothered to care to look into it....I'm going with the story that its never been driven in the rain, which is VERY possible.
This car was purchased at Rusnik Rolls Royce in southern California, still a operating RR dealer. the window sticker states that the car was first sold for $109,000.00.....It's gong to sell for a fraction of that now :-) All the original books, warranty cards, key code, etc. are pictured and included.
If you are local and would like to come look at this car, please just send me a note and depending on where you are I may drive it out to you, or invite you over. I have a Brand New (never titled) Triumph TR7 that will be getting listed soon also, but my xj12 Jag is going back to the Midwest (once you go V12, you never go back)
Bidders with less than 10 feedback MUST contact me first and provide your phone number and e-mail or I will cancel your bid. Sorry, but just too many scammers on eBay lately. Payment MUST be made in full, before car leaves, I will accept cash, check, cashiers check, paypal, etc.. all forms of checks MUST clear first, that INCLUDES cashiers checks as my bank (US Bank) puts a 2-week hold on them :-( Shipping will be at the cost of buyer, I will help load on this end, but buyer makes all arrangements.

Rolls-Royce bringing one-off Serenity to Geneva
Tue, Feb 17 2015Rolls-Royce is bringing Serenity of the Phantom kind, not the Joss Whedon kind, to the Geneva Motor Show. In case being driven around in 19-feet of extravagance wasn't enough, the firm's Bespoke Design team has stitched together a silk interior inspired by its historic cars, European furniture and Japanese Royal Kimono designs. We're told the result is a "haven of tranquility," as if that weren't the case before. It's also called "the most opulent interior of any luxury car," which makes us think Rolls-Royce won't let us get within 30 feet of it with our half-finished convention hall coffee and ham sandwich. We'll start cleaning up for the privilege now; there's a press release below in the meantime. Show full PR text ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS TO BRING SERENITY TO THE 2015 GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW 12.02.2015 -- The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars stand at this year's Geneva International Motor Show will be a haven of tranquility as the celebrated marque brings Serenity to Switzerland. Celebrating the historical role played by silk as a symbol of regal and imperial power, the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Bespoke Design team has created a magnificent one-off motor car which will set a new benchmark for luxury individualisation in the motor industry, and reaffirm that Bespoke is Rolls-Royce. Delivering authentic modern luxury, Serenity will reintroduce the finest of textiles to create the most opulent interior of any luxury car. This unique design demonstrates the levels of craftsmanship, creativity and attention to detail only Rolls-Royce Motor Cars can offer. The marque's Bespoke Design team has taken inspiration from the opulent interiors of Rolls-Royces that have conveyed Kings and Queens, Emperors and Empresses and world leaders throughout history, whilst using contemporary interpretations of European furniture combined with Japanese Royal Kimono designs to deliver a truly innovative, modern and tranquil Rolls-Royce interior. The new benchmark in super-luxury motor cars will be unveiled at a press conference in Hall 6 of the Geneva International Motor Show at 13.30hrs on 3rd March. The car will be on the stand for visitors to admire from 5th to 15th March. Design/Style Geneva Motor Show Rolls-Royce Luxury Sedan rolls-royce phantom
Rolls-Royce planning plug-in hybrid
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Rolls-Royce is not the first marque you'd think of when it comes to environmentally friendly transportation. Its cars are big - often the size of SUVs - and pack ginormous twelve-cylinder engines displacing over six and a half liters. Those upright Parthenon grilles can't be very aerodynamic, either. But the way the wind is blowing these days, Goodwood will have to get with the program sooner or later.
It developed an electric version of the Phantom a couple of years ago called the 102EX and showed it to customers around the world. But people weren't interested, so Rolls-Royce killed the program. Not to be deterred, however, Rolls is now said to be working on a plug-in hybrid that would countermand some of the shortcomings - like range and recharging times - that killed the 102EX.
The technology would apparently be borrowed from parent company BMW which is developing it for the X5 eDrive and allow Rolls-Royce to reduce its carbon footprint and offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation to those who don't want to skimp on the luxury and prestige.
Ghost Coupe to be fastest Rolls-Royce ever
Sun, 05 Aug 2012Autocar has snapped spy shots of a Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupe, and judging from proportions the car will be so long in front and raked in back that it would make Dick Tracy whistle. We'll get the true story on that at next year's Geneva Motor Show, which is when Autocar says it's due to be revealed, but what's less in question is this: with a 6.6-liter, 600-horsepower V12 and a tauter ride it will be the fastest Rolls-Royce ever.
Weight is estimated to drop by 200 kg compared to its sedan sibling, and its roofline to drop by up to nearly three inches. If the horsepower numbers are correct the shorter and lighter Ghost coupe, with a 69-hp bump over the sedan, will assuredly deliver the "considerably brisker" acceleration promised. Helping matters will be the lowered chassis, larger tires, "mildly sports-orientated" brakes and a suspension tuned to be more aggressive but delivering just as much waftability.
Although it's being called the Ghost Coupe for now, insiders have suggested to the magazine that that it will get its own, bespoke, name, with pricing above the standard sedan but below the extended-wheelbase sedan.
