US $49,950.00
Year:1995 Mileage:75223
Location:

Costa Mesa, California, United States

Costa Mesa, California, United States

Rare opportunity to acquire a limited edition Rolls-Royce Flying Spur.  Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1994, this was the first Rolls-Royce to be fitted with a light pressure turbo which increased it from 230 bhp to approximately 360 bhp, and gave it a staggering 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds.  There were just 50 of these built for the U.S. market, and all for the 1995 model year.  Finished in Mason's black with black hide and St. James' red piping.  Black carpets are also trimmed in St. James' red hide.  

Delivered new in Newport Beach, CA to the owner of a well-known supermarket chain, the motor car covered approximately 68,000 miles during his 6 year ownership.  The story has it that he was chauffeured between store locations throughout Southern California.  The last owner covered a further 7,000 miles during his thirteen years of ownership.

The most recent service records show that:

At 71,000 miles:  Authorized dealership performed routine service:
- lube, oil, and filter
- rear brake pads replaced
- rear accumulator valve replaced
- compliance mount replaced.

At 73,000 miles:  Authorized dealership performed routine service:
- lube, oil, and filter
- all accumulator return hoses replaced
- hydraulic system bled.

Cosmetically, there is some shrinkage on the rear parcel shelf as you can see in the photograph.  This can be re-covered with matching hide for approximately $280.  As the local trimmer is on vacation, I have not been able to get this done prior to listing the car for sale.

The motor car is offered with all factory books, spare key, jacks, full size spare wheel, etc. (nothing missing).   The car is sold As-Is with no warranty expressed or implied.

A copy of the California Emissions PASS certificate is included from April 29, 2014.

Please call or email for more photos.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II headed to Geneva

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Rolls-Royce is not a brand that replaces its vehicles with any great frequency. It expands its lineup, sure: what started with just the Phantom saloon has since grown to include extended wheelbase models, coupes and convertibles, not to mention the addition of the Ghost, followed by the Ghost EWB and the Wraith fastback. What Rolls does to keep its models fresh, however, is spruce them up with a Series II.
The Phantom family underwent just such a treatment a couple of years ago, and now Goodwood appears to be preparing to do the same with the Ghost. At least, that is, going by this teaser image it released with only the line, "After five years as the cornerstone of Rolls-Royce's sustainable growth success worldwide, this mid-life update is a showcase for the most recent technological advances from Rolls-Royce enrobed in a considered exterior design revision."
The arrival of the Ghost Series II at the Geneva Motor Show this year would put it significantly ahead of schedule for when Rolls updated the Phantom. That model arrived in 2003 and was followed by the Series II in 2012, giving the original a nine-year run virtually unchanged. The Ghost, however, only reached production in 2010, so introducing a Series II now would shorten that lifecycle to just four years.

Rolls-Royce spotted testing even sportier Wraith

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

A Rolls-Royce is not what you'd typically consider to be "sporty." Luxurious. Stately. Even powerful, packed as they are with twelve-cylinder engines displacing in excess of six and a half liters. The Wraith set out to change that with a sportier package, more rakish profile and an even more potent version of the Ghost's 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 to make it the fastest and most powerful Rolls-Royce ever made. But now it seems Goodwood is working on an even more aggressive version.
Spotted undergoing testing in parent company BMW's home country of Germany, this particular Wraith might strike you as the same one we've already seen, save for a few telltale details. It may be wearing the same rolling stock as the existing model, with what look like the same tailpipes protruding ever so elegantly around back, but at the bottom of the front bumper and atop the rear trunklid you'll notice more assertive spoilers added on.
To what end, we cannot be certain, but our spotters on the ground seem to think this is a prototype for a more extreme version of the Wraith - possibly inspired by the attention garnered by the Bentley Continental GT3-R. Could we be looking at a Wraith V-Specification like we saw with the Ghost? We'll have to wait to find out for sure, but in the meantime you can scope out the virtually undisguised prototype in the gallery of high-resolution spy shots above.

Rolls-Royce looks to the heavens with diamond-encrusted Celestial Phantom

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The Middle East is a vital market for Rolls-Royce, particularly in the Gulf emirates. So the British automaker wouldn't let the region's premier auto show go by unnoticed, and to that end has rolled into the Dubai Motor Show with an array of special editions.
Chief among them is the Celestial edition Phantom, a customized limousine that initially debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show but has returned to Dubai with the addition of 446 diamonds hand-set into the door panels, center console and cabin privacy partition. Taking the spirit of the Phantom's trademark starlight headliner even further, the Celestial edition reproduces overhead the constellations exactly as they were on the evening of January 1, 2003, when Rolls-Royce delivered the first Phantom to its owner, as verified by the South Downs Planetarium in Chichester, England.
The Bespoke division also fitted the Celestial Phantom with inky blue leather, special glassware and a custom picnic set. The wheel hubs are also engraved and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament uplit, demonstrating just a few of the possibilities awaiting those with the means not only to buy a new Rolls-Royce, but also commission special features from the Bespoke department.
