I am in the process of reassembling this car, It has had most subsystems removed (interior, wipers, climate control, etc) it has a tan leather interior kit partially installed, that work needs to be completed by the new owner. The car is running and drives well, it needs to have everything including the interior and climate control system reinstalled and checked out. It has a new sealed A/C compressor that needs to be piped into the A/C system and professionally reloaded. The new owner will need to spend some time reinstalling all the features and checking them out as they go. The dash has a minimum amount of functionality in its current condition. The headlights,oil pressure, temp gauge and transmission control are wired and working, everything else needs to be reinstalled and checked out. The hydraulic hood mechanism needs to be reattached and checked out (the Hood can be raised and lowered manually). The passenger window motor does not work, I am including a working replacement window motor that needs to be installed. As you can see from the pictures there are lots of parts that need to be installed. Other problems will most likely surface as those features are brought on line, so plan on doing some trouble shooting and repairing. The body is in good shape as can be seen in the photos there is a dent in the lower drivers side fender/ rocker panel area, not a big deal but worth mentioning. This car runs well, has good oil pressure, drives and stops well. Car is being sold as is, so please ask questions before bidding. The small tasks take a long time when working on a Rolls Royce so this is not a good project for someone in a hurry!!!

Rolls-Royce releases sketch of Phantom Drophead Coupe Bespoke Waterspeed Collection
Wed, 05 Feb 2014A limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom is something of an oxymoron. The company only sold 3,630 cars last year, and even fewer of those were its flagship Phantom. However, that isn't keeping the company from regularly revealing even more limited editions of its already hyper-exclusive cars. This is precisely the case with the new Phantom Drophead Coupé Bespoke Waterspeed Collection, a forthcoming model limited to 35 examples.
The special models are inspired by a famous speedboat race on September 1, 1937, between the United States and Great Britain on Lake Maggiore on the Swiss-Italian border. The British fielded the Bluebird K3 hydroplane boat powered by a massive supercharged V12 Rolls-Royce R-Type engine with Sir Malcolm Campbell at the helm. All that displacement shot the sleek watercraft to 129.5 miles per hour, claiming a new world waterspeed record in the process.
For the special commemorative Drophead Coupé model that celebrates "a seminal act of British daring and endeavor," Rolls-Royce is finishing the convertible in Maggiore Blue paint with a brushed steel hood and tonneau cover, along with inlaid wood trim. Rolls is not announcing an official release date or price for the special cars yet, but they are going on sale before the end of the year. Scroll down for the whole story about the car's inspiration.
Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident
Mon, 19 Aug 2013It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
