NO RESERVE L@@K !!! WOW !!!

 

Thanks for looking at another one of my classic car auctions... I have had this car since 2012 and really don't give it the attention a vehicle of this status deserves (MEANING IT'S SIMPLY JUST SITTING)... I purchased this car from an elderly doctors wife from Nashville, Tennessee. He had it for a great number of years and as his health declined so did his attention of this wonderful classic... Since I've had it I've spent well over $5,000 in upkeep and needed repairs as follows (all work was preformed by a local Rolls Royce repair facility in Northwest Illinois):

REBUILT front calipers (4) with proper Rolls Royce kits & stainless steel pistons

New front ROTORS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW NGK proper Spark plugs from BENTLEY DOWNERS GROVE (NOT AUTOZONE)

NEW REAR ACCUMULATORS & SEALS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE)

ALL NEW OEM DRIVE BELTS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE) NOT PEPBOYS !!!

CHANGED OIL & FILTER

NEW BATTERY

Antifreeze, transmission, diff, and power steering fluids flushed and changed as well... Mineral oil was flushed and bled during the installation of the rear accumulators.

 

All in all it's a strong running and  driving car and is roadworthy. All power windows work. Radio works but the antenna sticks once it reaches half way. Power door locks work 90% of the time and sometimes don't, (loose wire?)... A/C is cold, but only holds Freon for a a few months (slight leak, may be cheaper just to recharge every three months then fix). AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON !!! This happened when I let the battery go dead over the winter, it needs to be reset by a Rolls dealer (FOLEYS RR of Northbrook QUOTED ME $150). Oil pressure sending unit for the gauge is faulty, oil pressure is fine. It leaks a few drips of oil, but to be fair all of my 7 other Rolls Royce and Bentley's do... If I think of anything else I'll post it, but I feel it's all on the table...

Paint is a 6.5 out of 10... It has a few chips (mainly near the gas flap). One obnoxious scratch on the trunk about 1.5 inches long. The paint color is "MAGNOLIA" a very pretty color... Looks good or even great from 10 feet away, but after further inspection it has its fair share of cracks and wear to the paint. I would also like to mention I noticed previous paint work in areas (NOT FROM COLLISION) probably from up keep of higher standards earlier on in it's life. SHORT AND SWEET, I'd repaint it... But it's up to you...

The interior is also "MAGNOLIA" and features a saddle colored piping and dash. The leather is free of ant tears or rips. Being an off white it will need to be dyed to look new. The wood was redone on all four doors and looks good. carpets are ok too... I have all tools and took kit. I cannot get the center caps to stay on, I put them in the trunks for safe keeping...

 

MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN... I AM SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION TO PURCHASE A LATE MODEL BENTLEY GT... I THINK IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE FOR ME TO HAVE A LATER MODEL CAR VERSES A DOZEN OLDER ONES NEEDING MINOR TLC... I WILL BE SELLING my 1964 Bentley S3 Project and my BEAUTIFUL 1965 Bentley S3 next... I have sold several Rolls Royce and Bentley recently and have 100% feedback. My car is sold "as is" and is subject to local interest and I have it on other sites. Please ask questions or come see it/drive. But remember if you bid, you're buying... I'M SELLING WITH NO RESERVE !!! I have OVER $15k in this car, MY LOSS is YOUR GAIN !!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME: (847)826-2584 or classiccarking@yahoo.com

 

REMEMBER...... NO RESERVE MEANS IF YOU BID YOU BID TO BUY...

TITLE IN HAND CASH OR WIRE (OUT OF STATE BUYERS)

NO SCAMS OR DREAMERS PLEASE !!!

 

GOOD LUCK & HAPPY BIDDING !!!

BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.

Rolls-Royce Dawn becomes two-seater Silver Bullet convertible

Fri, Aug 21 2020

Rolls-Royce has transformed the Dawn, the only convertible in its range, into a two-seater roadster named Silver Bullet. It's a limited-edition model that's part of the company's client-commissioned Collection Cars line. The stately Silver Bullet is "a contemporary interpretation of the classic roadster spirit and driving experience," according to the BMW-owned firm. It's clearly based on the Dawn, both models share their front and rear fascias, but it's finished in a specific hue named Brewster Silver Paint that's a tribute to past Rolls-Royce models, like the Silver King and the Silver Silence. Subtle black trim add a finishing touch to the low-key design. Bigger modifications are found inside, where designers removed the Dawn's rear seats and replaced them with a tonneau cover the brand calls an Aero Cowling. It features a finisher made with vapor-blasted titanium. The images released by Rolls-Royce don't fully reveal the Silver Bullet's interior, but it previously noted each example will feature an open-pore carbon fiber insert and a quilted transmission tunnel inspired by leather jackets. We'd expect nothing less from the purveyors of the most expensive regular-production SUV in the world. Power likely comes from the Dawn's 6.6-liter V12 engine, which is twin-turbocharged to 563 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque in its standard configuration. We think the 593-horsepower, 620-pound-feet evolution of the 12 found in the Black Badge model would suit the roadster's touring intentions much better, however. It was designed to be driven, and the brand will organize road trips to encourage owners to put miles on their Silver Bullet rather than storing it in a heated garage for a couple of years and later selling it at a big-name auction. Rolls-Royce noted it will build 50 examples of the Silver Bullet, though how many have been earmarked for the American market hasn't been revealed yet. Pricing information remains under wraps, too, but keep in mind the standard Dawn carries a base price of approximately $350,000 before options enter the equation. Autoblog asked whether any build slots remain available, and we'll update this story if we learn more. Related Video:    

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection

Fri, Dec 29 2023

Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage.  One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.
