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.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai

Bespoke Rolls-Royce auction is a chance to support the fight against AIDS

Tue, Dec 3 2019

Rolls-Royce is showing off a new bespoke Phantom at Art Basel in Miami Beach, Florida, and its special red exterior highlights its bigger purpose: charity. In collaboration with artist Mickalene Thomas, Rolls-Royce will auction the car, a unique wrap, and a one-off art work as a fundraiser for the fight against AIDS. The red Phantom has a bespoke Magma Red paint job overlaid with a layer with tiny particles of crystal. Inside, the Phantom has Brilliant Arctic White bespoke leather with Mugello Red piping and accents. A Mugello Red headliner is a unique take on the Shooting Starlight headliner, which debuted in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge, and R-R has dubbed the dashboard design, 'Red Regatta Sails.' It features layered Mugello Red leather behind a piece of glass across the instrument panel. Final touches include a door scuff plate that denotes "115 Years of Rolls-Royce" and "Special Commission."   Interestingly, the Phantom is technically a starting point. R-R paired up with contemporary artist Thomas to add an even more exclusive and unique touch. Thomas will create 'an original work of art inspired by the Red Phantom for the collector' and a custom wrap for the exterior of the Phantom based on the artwork.  The car will be globally unveiled at a gala this week and will be open for bidding between December 4–13 at Sothebys.com. All proceeds, after auction fees and costs, will go to (RED), which was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006 to fund the fight against AIDS. The contributions go to a program in Africa that specifically focuses on countries where there is a high concentration of mother-to-child HIV transmission. This is not the first time a Rolls-Royce has helped support an AIDS charity. In 2007, a Phantom Drophead Coupe raised more than $1.6 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. 

The hottest modern sports cars rendered as rally racers

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The modern-day World Rally Championship a monumental amount of fun to watch – I should know, as I recently was lucky enough to head to the UK to watch WRC Wales Rally GB – but even the most monstrous of the current WRC cars are based on fairly pedestrian European hatchbacks. Back in the heyday of rally, the Group B era in the 1980s, much hotter cars were the basis of even more incredible competition machines, for the most part. Take the exotic Ford RS200, or the Lancia Delta S4 with its twin-charged engine. And the hatchback-based Group B cars were bonkers, too. So what would some of our favorite modern cars look like if Group B had never ended? A British site named CarWow hired an artist to reimagine everything from the Rolls-Royce Wraith to the Porsche 911 as a retro-inspired rally car, and they were kind enough to let us share the results in the gallery above. The gallery features an Alfa Romeo Giulia in Martini livery, an Audi TT in classic Ur-Quattro colors, a Fiat 500 Abarth sporting massive flares and a hood blister full of auxiliary lights, a new Ford Mustang in RS200 livery, a Lancia Delta in Alitalia colors, a Porsche 911 in Rothmans livery, a Renault-Alpine in classic blue, a Rolls-Royce Wraith tribute to the Jules cologne Corniche Coupe, and a relatively modern-looking VW Touran. So far, the favorite around the office is the incredible Mercedes-Benz S-Class that is an homage to the wonderful 300 SEL 6.8 AMG "Red Pig" that essentially put AMG on the map. Check out the gallery above and see which one you like the best. Related Video:
