Hi there,
Up for auction is our 83 Rolls Royce Silver Spur PARTS CAR. 75,000 miles, LOW MILAGE. NO RESERVE It was a daily driver up until about a year ago; at that time we were closing our automotive repair shop and the car was parked in a storage lot. Someone threw a couple chunks of concrete over the fence, to be clever I guess, and one broke the back window, another dented and scratched the trunk lid pretty good. We decided it would be better to part out the car because it was worth a lot more in parts than selling as a whole and we needed to thin the herd and free up some space. After a year of parting out random things here and there (not very proactively) we no longer have a storage lot and trying to part out this car in front of our house isn't going so well. This is a great opportunity for someone with the time and space to dismantle the car and sell everything, the engine alone should go for at least $1,500, control arms also go for that amount from the research I've done, Transmission, another $1,500, that already more then what we are listing this for. Engine ran flawlessly when parked and nothing has been taken off the engine, so its still all there and complete. See below for list of parts we have sold from the vehicle, the majority of the car is there. Body is very very straight, original white paint but was kept clean and buffed. Interior is red leather, sun baked and normal wear and tear for a car of this age. Seats would need to be redone if going into a nicer car. Everything is functional, nothing was broken or not working when it was parked. Honestly it was a mistake to start taking this car apart, it was beautiful and mobbed in the rain, couldn't hydroplane this car if you tried, at least here in Santa Barbara. You could technically find the missing parts, if you are looking for a project, and restore this to its original beauty, never been in an accident as far as I know and like I said super straight. But it would be much much easier to just turn it into loads of profit parting it out piece by piece.
SOLD AS IS - FOR PARTS ONLY - Car has broken back window, dent in right rear door, and trunk lid, missing steering rack, fuel pump, grille, flying lady figure, hub caps, headlights, tail lights, turn signals, interior carpet, misc body parts such as 2 door handles, glove box door and latch, speedometer, misc panels from dash area, one window regulator, window switch, ignition switch and key, catalytic converter. Message me for particular parts, there might be a few more missing, but no major components, and nothing from the engine. Small rust area along back window seal, paint is original white, no major chips or scratches, has been buffed quite a few times, body was kept in great condition, was a daily driver. Interior is red leather, which has sun damage and is cracking. Wood trim on doors and dash have the top layer cracking/peeling. Body is very straight. Ran when parked about a year ago, no engine parts are missing. mileage 75,000 miles. Again AS IS condition.
Let me know if you have any questions, or would like additional pictures/info. Shipping/transportation is the buyers complete responsibility, but I will help in any way I can, I'm really easy to deal with, just let me know what you need. Non-Refundable $500 deposit is due within 3 days of auction end. Shipping and payment arrangements must be made within 7 days of auctions end, however if you need more time to figure out shipping we will work with you.

Rolls-Royce says SUV will in fact be called Cullinan, releases photos
Tue, Feb 13 2018We have known the upcoming Rolls-Royce luxury SUV is called is called Cullinan for a while now, but it took until today for the manufacturer to officially acknowledge the name. Referring to the quite simply enormous Cullinan diamond, Rolls-Royce says the name befits the new "high-bodied vehicle," carefully steering around the SUV moniker. "The name Cullinan has been hiding in plain sight since we revealed it as the project name some years ago," says Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos. "It is the most fitting name for our extraordinary new product. Cullinan is a motor car of such clarity of purpose, such flawless quality and preciousness, and such presence that it recalibrates the scale and possibility of true luxury. Just like the Cullinan Diamond, the largest flawless diamond ever found, it emerges when it is perfect and exists above all others." This content is hosted by a third party.

One of the photos depicts a test mule climbing a muddy hill, a territory unclaimed by Rolls-Royces except for ones modified by privateer rally teams. The Cullinan, based on a new proprietary aluminum spaceframe, is expected to be unveiled by late summer 2018, with deliveries starting in 2019. The vehicle's introduction is planned to lift the brand's yearly sales to 5,000 units per year, as they fell to 3,362 in 2017.

Rolls-Royce shows off commemorative Silver Ghost — with actual silver
Thu, Aug 16 2018Ultra-luxury marque Rolls-Royce has been busy developing its ultra-exclusive, 35-model Silver Ghost Collection in homage to the original 40/50-horsepower Silver Ghost from 1907 that traveled a then-remarkable 14,371 miles. Now it has released a video to show off its opulent new creation. Rolls-Royce says it incorporated visual elements from the original Ghost in the new four-door model. Most obvious is the car's silver paint scheme, with a hand-painted coachline that takes eight hours to apply and contains pure silver particles. There's also a solid silver Sprit of Ecstasy hood ornament (remember those?) with an AX201-stamped hammered-copper hallmark at its base, which harks back to the maiden car's registration plate and the material that featured extensively in the original car's engine bay. The video also shows off the black grille vanes, chrome wheel surrounds engraved with the phrase "Silver Ghost — Since 1907," open-pore tudor oak trim with silver inlays. The front fascias get a more protruding grille frame with inset grille, plus redesigned wheels. Inside, the cars get Forest Green leather to match the original, with limited edition stamps on the door jambs and dashboard clock, plus improved sound deadening with the addition of special acoustic glass. There's also lots of running footage of the Silver Ghost navigating a pastoral lane. It's decidedly heady stuff for most of us common folk, indeed. View 5 Photos Related Video:
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
