Rolls-royce Silver Spirit 1982, Movie Star!! Gorgeous!, Burgundy Red. on 2040-cars
Summerville, South Carolina, United States
MOVIE STAR!!! Gorgeous! Starred in Iron Man III. Have all relevant documentation and correspondence with Iron Works Production 3, LLC and production company's Picture Car Coordinator John Armstrong. The exterior is visually stunning! And its original! Have color copy of original check from Iron Works Productions 3, LLC, No. 004043, drawn on Citibank N.A. 787 west 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071. Was used as the "The Masters" limo. Probably the nicest preserved most beautiful 1982 Silver Spur in the Southeastern United States. Also have all the original owners documents, manuals, and maintenance records all lovingly preserved in a beautiful official Rolls-Royce leather bound book. Even today I have learned more information regarding the car, and I know there are people out there who are insatiably curious. I also happen to personally think the car is worth WAY more than $50,000.00, regarding both its Movie Star past, its ridiculously low miles, and its ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL condition. The paint, chrome, and interior have never been restored, or redone, its all original!There are reasons for that as I learned just this morning July 9th. On the other hand I am not a car mechanic or expert, BUT I am definitely a serious enthusiast with a background in exotics and an official of the SCCA (Pit Steward) all the way back to 1973. I worked for the US Navy for 32 years as a technical expert. Eleven years was active duty and twenty one of those years was as civilian technical expert. Ten of those years I spent as a civilian was as a US Navy technical expert to the Egyptian Navy. I can fix anything! I had a terrible heart attack while serving in Egypt, I now live in a nursing home, and discovered the car sitting in a used car lot, while passing in the nursing home bus. I stopped the bus and talked to the owner of the car lot and asked about the Rolls, he said it was his personal car but had not run in years, something on it was broken. He didn't know what, he also mentioned that it had been in the movie Iron Man III, and produced the paperwork you see here. The car lot owners two mechanics were too chicken to tackle the Rolls even as it sat there years. I asked the owner foolishly if I could try to fix it for him for free. He took me up on the offer and I finally got the car working, a bad fuel pump at the rear of the car, plus a bad starter relay. It also needed about three and a half quarts of transmission fluid. It runs like a swiss watch, rides wonderfully, I must admit I have never been so impressed with a car before. I started the car once and got distracted and when my attention returned I thought, --nuts it didn't start, ---- but it was running, at idle! It was so silent and vibrationless that I thought it hadn't started. WOW! By the way I get nothing not even a commision for the sale of this vehichle, just the joy of fixing it and doing an old man a good deed. I have congestive heart failure and an implanted defibrillator, if my cardiologist knew I was working on this car he would have a fit. I worked under the car for a week up on jackstands and hydraulic floor jacks, ouch. The car was bought new in 1982 by a little old lady from New York state who lived in West Palm Beach, Florida. As it turns out a very rich little old lady. She died sometime in the 1980's and her estate went into probate, which lasted for 14 years! For that entire 14 years the Rolls Royce sat in the back of her garage undiscovered. Once probate was closed, the new owners of the property decided to bulldoze the existing house and garage. Fortunately, someone checked the garage before the bulldozers reduced the garage to rubble. The new owners of the property contacted the probate lawyer in NY City who had handled the estate and they delegated a partner in Charleston, SC to handle it. One of the men in the Charleston, SC law office decided to buy it from the estate, and he owned it for three months. He then auctioned it here in Charleston to the current owner, so there has been three owners! It has never been in an accident or even a fender bender, as I said ALL the paint and chrome are ORIGINAL. Basically, the current owner hung on to it for the fun of it and could never find a buyer in the Summerville/Charelston area, although he did try. At one point one of the owners employees put the car on E-Bay two or three years ago, asking at that time a ridiculous price for it. Iron Works Productions at that time was filming Iron Man III in North Carolina, and needed a suitable car for the villian to drive, "The Master". Iron Works Productions contacted the current owner, I am not sure how, because the current owner, basically can't use a computer. In the end Iron Works Productions rented the car for a few days in North Carolina for the movie. Shortly, after its movie appearrance the owner was giving an employee a ride in it and ran out of gas. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the rear mounted fuel injection pump would continue to run with a dry fuel tank if the ignition key was left in run. After, finally realizing they needed to put gas in the car the fuel pump had already been destroyed. They had it towed back to the lot and it sat there for years until I came along. The car is completely original, and definitely actually worth way more $50,000.00 dollars! Its interesting early history, movie history, and its originality make it one of a kind. Someone please be serious and we will come to an arrangement on sale of the car. With of course every penny going to the owner, he has way too many friends lately that really weren't. And for the insatiably curious, yup, thats the motor home I cleaned the rats out of in February, 2014. I realize that there are alot of fluff pictures here and I will remove and add more of the car, but the insatiably curious have I hope been satisfied. If more satisfaction is required I have contacted my hospital and found that they can provide my medical records in 5 days regarding the time I was admitted to the hospital while working on this car. Further, I have a considerable library of pictures from my ten years in Egypt which I could provide if requested. I also included pictures of the nursing home bus and the driver I discovered the car with out front of my nursing home. Yes that is also the nursing home bus in the parking lot of the car lot where I found the car. I included pictures of my pacemaker/defibrillator and pictures of the seventeen pills a day I take to control my congestive heart failure. There are also pictures of my back and elbows from crawling in the gravel underneath the car to fix it, but I left those out. Also pictures of where I worked on it, thats a a book all by itself. I'd love to take the silly stuff off and give you more pictures of the car, -- just ask. As you might guess the nursing home staff/management has taken a dim view of my activities and admonished me not to undertake these types of projects in the future bacause of its adverse effect on my physical health. On the other hand, the nursing home staff/management were amazed at the degree of detail required to be taken seriously here at E-Bay. I will attempt today the 10th of July to find out the name of the little old lady in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was raised a southwestern Minnesota farmboy, a slight exaggerration, as my father was a physician at the Mayo Clinic, but we did live WAY out in the country. Rochester, Minnesota is also home to one of the largest Amish communities in the United States, and I must admit although not Amish I have adopted much of their worldview. That we are placed here to help and love one another, this often gets me into trouble due to naivete. So I am not the greatest salesman, but I am terribly sincere. Remember, life should always be fun, but its not always a game. |

Rolls-Royce teases Wraith debut in Geneva
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Rolls-Royce is headed to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a new addition to its lineup: the Wraith. The ultra-luxury automaker says it plans to start deliveries by the fourth quarter of this year, though details are scarce at the moment. The automaker has contented itself with saying the Wraith will the "most dynamic, powerful and beautiful Rolls-Royce in the company's history." We hear it will be the most modest, too.
Rolls-Royce first began using the Wraith nameplate in 1938. The original car used a tweaked version of the 4.3-liter inline six-cylinder found in the company's 25/30, but its real claim to fame came from the fact that it boasted speed-variable hydraulic dampers. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 85 miles per hour, Rolls-Royce only built 492 examples of the vehicle's chassis.
You can look for the new Wraith to bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March. In the interim, check out the shockingly bare press release below and get ready for a spate of teasers to follow.
Rolls-Royce gets down to testing new aluminum architecture
Tue, Jan 5 2016Rolls-Royce is preparing to step – or serenely glide – into modernity. It has a new aluminum architecture under development that's set to underpin all its future products. And now it's giving us a taste of what's to come. Goodwood first announced the new platform in February when it revealed intentions to build its first SUV. Now it's saying the architecture won't just underpin the crossover known tentatively as Project Cullinan – it'll form the basis of every model it makes from 2018 onwards. Rolls is already testing the new platform with mules like the one pictured above. The vehicle would appear to be a Phantom behind a mask, but the way that Rolls has disguised the rear end of the prototype tells us it might be wearing a more wagon-like roofline, the likes of which we'd expect to see on the crossover when it arrives. The company's also been testing its first all-wheel drive system for the same project with another type of test mule entirely. Once Project Cullinan is complete, Goodwood's first SUV will launch into a market filled with high-end products. Porsche is firmly established in the sector, and Range Rover is making ever-more expensive models. Soon Bentley, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, and Lamborghini will also join the fray, but the Rolls-Royce will likely be the most expensive and most luxurious of them all. ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS ANNOUNCES FUTURE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENTS In February 2015, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the development of an all-new aluminium space-frame architecture that will underpin all future Rolls-Royce models arriving in market from early 2018. The company today announced that it has begun the testing phase of this new architecture, with early preparatory activity seeing new engineering mules tested in public around the world. The Architecture of Pure Luxury The future of pure luxury motoring is already taking shape as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars begins testing its new aluminium space-frame architecture which will underpin all future Rolls-Royce model lines. The architecture will arrive in market from early 2018. Engineering mules will be assessed on public roads in various locations around the world. The current testing phase aims to ensure that the new space-frame structure perfectly delivers Rolls-Royce's trademark 'magic-carpet ride' on a variety of surfaces and that it is resilient to extreme weather conditions.
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.
