Are you looking to always get the first parking spot out front of the hotel or restaurant? 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. 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, fluid changes and ONLY OEM parts used, right down to the proper Rolls Royce oil filter. 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). Car starts, stops, and runs PERFECTLY, I would jump in it right now and drive across the country in style, and if it doesn't meet reserve that's exactly what I'm going to do. I have room in my place to store it, just didn't want to ship so many cars.
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, very shiny and gets looks and thumbs up everywhere it goes, but it honestly needs to be repainted 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) and has just started to separate at the seams. I had a quote of $600 to redo it.
This car also has a lockable center console in the rear seat that is legal to store firearms. Just a little something special if that's your kind of thing.
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.
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.
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)
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 :-)
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 Phantom Metropolitan Collection wafts into the annals of exclusivity
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Limited-edition, hand-built cars are kind of a bizarre thing. On the one hand, people pay umpteen amounts of money for bespoke cars, with the manufacturer adding that iconic descriptor to all its press materials, but then the company goes and produces 20 of the exact same car and sells them as a "special edition." It seems kind of contradictory.
Rolls-Royce must not see it that way, though, as it has just unveiled one of 20 Metropolitan Collection Phantom sedans at the 2014 Paris Motor Show. As the latest member of the brand's Bespoke Collection, the Metropolitan joins the Phantom Drophead Coupe Waterspeed Collection, the Pinnacle Travel and the Ghawwass Edition.
According to Rolls-Royce, the Metropolitan Collection pays "homage to the world's great metropolises" by way of the company's well known craftsmen. The veneers, particularly on the second row picnic table, get extensive attention, with just the table using 500 individual pieces of wood.
Rolls-Royce might 'enter into fuel cells'
Mon, Jun 12 2023Rolls-Royce released its first series-produced EV, the Spectre, in 2022, and the brand plans to launch additional battery-powered models in the coming years. It's not closing the door to other powertrains, however, and it's notably open to experimenting with hydrogen fuel cells. "Why not? I would say so when the time is right for us, and when the technology is so much advanced, that it is definitely something we would pursue as Rolls-Royce. Why not? We might exit batteries, and we might enter into fuel cells," company boss Torsten Muller-Otvos told British magazine Autocar. He stopped short of revealing whether engineers are currently testing hydrogen fuel cell-powered prototypes. It's too early to tell whether Rolls-Royce would develop a hydrogen fuel cell on its own or whether it would source some of the drivetrain's parts from parent company BMW, which has dabbled in this technology for decades. BMW notably began building an X5-based, hydrogen-powered prototype called iX5 in 2023, and it plans to ultimately funnel the feedback it gathers by testing the model into a production car. Muller-Otvos has already ruled out building a car powered by a hydrogen-burning engine, however. "I think a hydrogen combustion engine is nothing I would in any way look into, because that was tested already years ago. This is not the most efficient way to use hydrogen. If hydrogen will be used in the future, then it's fuel cells. And fuel cells are nothing different from a battery. It is just how you get the energy," he told Autocar, referring to the hydrogen-burning 7 Series prototype tested by BMW in the 2000s. Rolls-Royce, like nearly every brand looking at hydrogen technology, warns that the infrastructure needs to improve before the fuel cell can merge into the mainstream. "You can't obviously have hydrogen charging at home, whereas [with EVs] you have one big advantage, and all of our clients have big garages. There is lots of space at home and there is lots of space in office buildings to install charging," the CEO said. As it stands, Rolls-Royce wants to sell only electric cars by the end of 2030, and it hasn't announced plans to launch a series-produced hydrogen-electric model. It's not unreasonable to assume that this outlook could change during the second half of the 2020s, however.
2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Wafting In The Fastest And Most Powerful Vehicle RR Has Ever Made
It is said that Rolls-Royce co-founder Sir Henry Royce once proclaimed: "Take the best that exists and make it better: When it does not exist, design it." The second part of that quote is most curious, as the century-old automaker recently introduced an all-new Ghost-based coupe with no apparent peers - a two-door boasting a 624-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V12 with rear-wheel drive and sleek fastback styling.
Yet despite its specifications, it was never planned to be a sports coupe. Rather, the British automaker tells us that it was thoroughly engineered to be, "a car where the sense of arrival and joy of the journey are as important as the canvas upon which it is drawn." Whatever that means.
