1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spur - 47,410 CarFax Documented Miles

This report shows a three owner car.

No negative history whatsoever.

Runs and drives really nice - Looks good too!

 

I'm selling it for my good friend and it's going to the highest bidder!

No Reserve!

No Buy It Now!

Please Don't Ask!

You will make the certified bank check out to the name on the front of the title.

Just passed NY State inspection.

Excellent tires and brakes.

My pal is in the music business so I am certain the stereo "kicks butt".

The high bidder will be buying this vehicle in "as is" condition.

It is leaking "hydraulic mineral oil" (green in color) from under the driver door area.

My friend claims to have put 10's of thousands of dollars in this car and now he wants it to disappear.

I drove it about 15 miles and it drives just fine.

Strong motor and tranny.

Brakes and suspension are fine.

If you drive it home, bring some Rolls Royce hydraulic mineral oil with you.

Body is straight, but has a scratch and a couple of minor dimples.

I tried to picture them, but they are minor.

Interior is mint, but the wood veneer on top of all four doors needs to be redone or replaced.

To make matters worse, the brand new Audi and Range Rover are now sleeping in the garage. The contractor who is redoing the kitchen commandeered the last garage spot thus displacing the Rolls and relegating it to the driveway. The Rolls is now sleeping outside being exposed to the elements!

Paint has a nice shine if you get a detail job with rubbing compound and wax. The paint is slightly flat.

I did a small section on the trunk and it will come up nice with some elbow grease.

This car is a diamond in the rough.

Bid with confidence.

If the wining bidder is not thrilled after examination and a road test I will cancel the sale and refund your deposit.

I can pick you up at the airport, train or bus station.

Anyone can bid!

Any question call me at 516-228-1016 or email me.

If you are on or near Long Island and wish to preview this fine automobile, call me and please don't wait until the last day. It's by appointment only.

Winning bidder must leave a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of the auction close.

 

Good luck and thanks for looking!

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The 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.

Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design

Thu, 28 Jun 2012

Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.

Rolls-Royce debuts Phantom Drophead Coupe Waterspeed Collection

Tue, 13 May 2014

For the next act in its Bespoke Collection, Rolls-Royce has found one of its own to celebrate with the Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed Collection, noting the achievements of British land and water record-holder Sir Malcolm Campbell. Like a few other racers of his era in the 1920s and 1930s, Campbell used his Bluebird Motor Company and Bluebird Garage to fund his interest in motorsports. He would break the waterspeed record in 1937 in his Bluebird K3 powered by a Rolls-Royce R engine, traveling 126.33 miles per hour on Italy's Lake Maggiore.
We've seen sketches of what Rolls-Royce intended with the Waterspeed Collection, and the real thing is just as handsome, and the new model includes a number of firsts for the marque. The Maggiore Blue exterior paint is also used for highlights on the engine, the polished wheels, two-tone steering wheel and the dashboard. The tonneau cover normally finished in teak is instead done in hand-finished brushed steel, a closer contrast to the Windchill Grey interior. The Abachi wood veneers have also been bookmatched so that their grain evokes the wake of a speeding boat.
The droptop will be shown first at the Bluebird Garage Cafe in London on the site of the original garage, after which it will get its first wider showing at the Concorso D'Eleganza at Villa D'Este later this month. The press release below has a lot more detail on the finer detailing of the Drophead Coupe Waterspeed, and the images above are worth at least 8,000 words.
