Low 1,700 Miles!! Literally Like New. Truly The Best Example In The World! on 2040-cars
Barrington, Illinois, United States
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit
original 1,700 miles
1987
Museum quality
Never before did the saying "looks like it just came off the factory floor" sound so true. This is the closest thing to buying a “new” Silver Spirit today! Presenting this unbelievable (but real) Rolls-Royce Silver
Spirit with only 1,700 original miles. Finished in Dark Oyster (metallic
slate grey) with red fine lines and rich burgundy Connolly hides, matching
floor rugs and factory moutons. This would be, without any doubt, the VERY BEST
mid-80s Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit in the world. A bold but serious claim.
~~ Presenting as a totally original Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, this is a beautiful and very fine example that presents as a true 10 out of 10 Show car. It is without doubt to be considered the best example of its kind ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. It is a 1987 Rolls-Royce built "yesterday". Truly like brand new – not an easy claim to make these days. You could confidently drive this Spirit “as-is” to your next Rolls-Royce meet with the sole intention of winning first prize in its category. And you will - it is that good! ~~
This is by NOT, by means, a typical 1987 Silver Spirit and as such will command considerably more than top condition prices. Notwithstanding, reasonable offers will be considered.
Many additional photos are available at the following link. I recommend all interested buyers to review these to best appreciate the cars stunning condition. Take the time to look at all the close-up photos of the interior (the wood, leather, carpets and headlining are truly like new), bodywork, chrome and overall appearance. This Spirit is so “perfect”, it makes the photos look like original brochure pictures!
Interior so completely immaculate Switchgear virtually never touched Everything so clean (don't worry, we have the missing chrome finishing cap to the lower radio knob) The leather without even a scuff or mark The leather doesn't even have fold lines, yet still soft and supple Headliner material like brand new Click HERE to see 200+ additional photos! A note from RRMOTORSINC: ~~oo00oo~~

PLEASE read auction terms & conditions below BEFORE bidding ** This Rolls-Royce is part of a private collection. Although
licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a
professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and
knowledge of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars. I have a long standing
reputation being associated with the marque which I take seriously. I take
pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However,
auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the
winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You
cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions.
Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car
until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated
should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any
potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an
offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject
to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of
the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are
required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by
cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance. Full
payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle
is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form
an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not
received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction
without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received
and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such
deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested
party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind
for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required,
you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements
on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full
responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.
The
vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed,
written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with
reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and
accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are
not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be
responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects
herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the
description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall
prevail as the reference point. No allowance or set aside will be made on
account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is
the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition
and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will
make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s
request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for
any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle.
Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Rolls-Royces are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. This is well documented in many circles. You need to be a special and considerate type of purchaser to own a Rolls-Royce. Their down-side is part of the fun in owning them! As the old saying goes; "we love to hate them and hate to love them!" So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid. ~~oo00oo~~ ~~ **Please note:
This Rolls-Royce is part of the collection of a dear friend of mine. As a
professional collector and experienced restorer, I have my own Rolls-Royce
dedicated workshop with qualified craftsmen on hand; The Park-Ward Motor
Museum. As a passionate collector of the marque I take great pride and pleasure
in passing on any of these great cars to its next owner (“caretaker”). In so
doing, once this Rolls-Royce is sold, I will put the car thru my workshop to
ensure that it is mechanically sound and all major features and functions are
operating as described even though the car is contractually being sold
"as-is". Certain items such as final electrical tests and hydraulic
pressure checks are usually left for this stage as these are considered
"commissioning procedures". In this case, this will include the air
conditioning system of this car. This and considerable other work will be
performed after the sale and before delivery. This is all done at NO CHARGE.
Who else selling a Rolls-Royce on eBay does this?! Depending on our work load,
please allow approximately 7-10 business days for this procedure. For more
information on the Park-Ward Motor Museum and our skills, please eBay message
me and I would be happy to show you some 100 Rolls-Royces restored to varying
levels over the last few years ~~
Rolls-Royce values vary wildly, entirely dependent on their condition. There are, of course, other aspects that add or subtract from their values – Long Wheel Base versus regular, the year which dictated certain technical changes, etc. The colour alone, for example can make a big difference. And, in the case of this darling example, its unbelievable low mileage. So for the benefit of new-comers to the marque please see the approximate guide to values based on a particular model below. Please remember, these are “plus-or-minus” figures:
Year: 1986-1989 Model: Silver Sprit Show car: $50,000+ Exceptional: $25-45,000 Excellent: $20-25,000 Good: $16-20,000 Average: $12-16,000 Fair: $6-12,000 Basket case: < $6,000

Rolls-Royce Cullinan's Viewing Suite seats are its tailgate party trick
Thu, Feb 22 2018It's one thing to flip down the rear bench of a Chrysler Town & Country parked at a scenic spot, sit on the folded-down backrest and look at the sunset. It's another thing to park a Rolls-Royce Cullinan on a similarly scenic spot and utilize the, ahem, Rolls-Royce Viewing Suite. Deployed at a touch of a button, the Viewing Suite is formed by two rear-facing leather chairs that emerge from the Cullinan's trunk. As well as the chairs, a cocktail table is fitted on the "luxuriously comfortable viewing platform" that enables a Cullinan owner to "take in the world's most breath-taking vistas or view a sports event or even watch their children take part in their school sports day," as Rolls-Royce suggests. While not explicitly mentioned, it's probably also perfectly suitable for a tailgate party with a couple cold ones fetched from a cooler while a ballgame plays on a portable TV. But as Rolls-Royce says, "Wherever one ventures, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Viewing Suite guarantees the best seat in the house." The Cullinan is likely to cast aside its camoflage come Geneva time next month. Recent spy shots have depicted the luxury SUV with suicide rear doors, a feature that most large SUVs do not have.

Bloodhound hits 210 mph in test for land speed record run
Mon, Oct 30 2017It was actually 210 miles per hour, 10 mph faster than promised. The rest of the day went swimmingly, and on schedule, by the Bloodhound land speed record team. "The car ran for 20 minutes, and it did two full-power runs, with full power for 5 seconds, and 0 to 200 mph in just under 9 seconds," said Mark Chapman, Bloodhound's chief engineer. "So the exciting bits were about 18 seconds long, but people were here from dawn to dusk. The atmosphere was unbelievable." Bloodhound, which will travel at 70 mph simply on the idle of its EJ200 jet engine, had to be held back on the brakes before wing commander Andy Green floored it for 5 seconds. The jet flamed and roared on afterburner and then it was over. I might have given a little squeak; it was mightily impressive. "This is a really big engine," said Richard Noble, Bloodhound project director and former land speed record holder, "and when it runs, there's a flame and a crackle and boom, and people think, 'My goodness, that's really something.'" It was, and Green might well have thought so when he first came to apply the brakes in testing for the inaugural public run last week on the runway at RAF St Mawgan near Newquay in Cornwall. "We've had some interesting times working out how carbon brakes work, because they do take a while to warm up," said Chapman. "The cockpit footage online shows Andy's eyes looking like dinner plates when he puts his foot on the brake and nothing happens for a bit." Typically, Green took it all in his stride. He is one of just three people alive to have traveled at 600 mph on the ground (Richard Noble and Craig Breedlove are the others) and was hugely impressed with Bloodhound. "The car is absolutely fabulous," he said. "From day one, it felt right: crisp and precise, you can feel it on the road; it's super. There was only one slight surprise on the braking and that was more to do with the engine over-swing." This meant that the Rolls-Royce Eurofighter engine wouldn't shut off immediately when Green lifted from the throttle. "That delay was a real surprise to us," he said, "because all previous jet cars have had mechanical fuel-control systems where a rod closes a valve and a quarter of second later, all thrust has gone. The EJ200 engine, though, manages its own fuel supply based on what the digital throttle request is, and it takes quite a lot longer to stop.
Rolls-Royce bestows Canton Glory Ghost upon Guangzhou
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Wonder why Rolls-Royce makes so many special editions for the Chinese market? Probably because China is fast becoming its largest market, with the dealerships in Beijing and Shanghai regularly proving able to move more high-end metal than any other Rolls dealer in the world. Little wonder then that, less than two months after releasing the Golden Sunbird edition, Rolls-Royce Bespoke is back again with another special Ghost just for China.
This time it's called the Canton Glory edition. It was introduced recently at Auto Guangzhou, and pays tribute to the Canton Tower in the same city. Two examples were made with a two-tone color scheme contrasting burgundy with either a blueish silver or white. Other features include Guangzhou's Five Rams emblem in the coachline, veneer panels, headrests and dashboard.
We don't doubt Rolls will find (or probably already has found) a pair of Chinese industrialists to gladly take these special editions home. But for those looking for their own unique touches, the British automaker has also brought its Bespoke Atelier to China for the first time, outlining the range of possibilities open to their moneyed customers.
