This first of the Silver Shadow series has undergone a very detailed restoration. It is a very true and straight example finished in sought after classic Masons black with light tan Connolly leather interior, highlighted with hand-painted contrasting fine pin-striping to the waist-line and hub-cap beauty rings.
Beautifully and fully restored by the Park-Ward Motor Museum, it was a southern state clean and dry example to begin with. The body was straight & rust-free but the paint was faded and cracked. So it underwent a high-end repaint by our experienced Rolls-Royce and Bentley dedicated body-shop . It is now lustrous and consistent. Being a brand new paint job it is without any marks or blemishes of any kind. The front and rear window were removed from the car during the repaint and new rubbers fitted upon re-assembly. The fine-lines were hand-painted by one of the few remaining craftsmen of the art. The car has always been climate control stored since its restoration and has never seen rain, snow or salt.
The interior is in stunning condition presenting in totally original format. The leather is all original having been re-Connollised. Overall, it is excellent in appearance with only a minimal amount of patina from moderate use over the years. It is a very welcomed look. There are no cuts, tears or worn patches. The leather itself will need ongoing hide food rejuvenation to bring back its complete suppleness. Park-Ward craftsmen have already commenced this operation which takes about 12 months to finalise. The carpets are new Wilton wool, flown in specially from the United Kingdom for this restoration and were custom-made to factory look. Right down to the use of genuine leather binding on all edges. The African burl walnut wood is excellent with all the dash, front window embellishing, all 4 door cappings and vanity mirrors having been recently refinished by our own wood-working shop. The car has original picnic tables fitted to the rear of the front seats which was also redone by Park-Ward's wood refinishing shop. The wood is carefully stripped and no less than 25 coats of clear lacquer is applied. Each, hand-rubbed between coats to achieve a very high-lustre and glass like smooth gloss finish. The picnic tables and the doors are the high-light of the interior with a stunning wood-grain that displays, by the grace of nature, a heavy contrast of light and dark grains.
The dash top-roll and rear parcel shelf are in perfect condition.

Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design
Thu, 28 Jun 2012Back 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 rolls out one-off Ghost Golden Sunbird in China
Thu, 19 Sep 2013In 2001, archeologists in the palace city of Chengdu, China, uncovered the Golden Sun Bird, an ancient artifact that dates back to the Shang Dynasty from 1000 BC. The disc depicts the sun and is made of almost solid gold, measuring five inches across and weighing 20 grams. The city adopted it as its logo, and now Rolls-Royce has commemorated the find and the heritage behind it with a unique one-off.
Based on the long-wheelbase version of the Ghost, the Golden Sunbird edition features a two-tone white and gold paint scheme, with gold coachline and gold grille topped by a gold Spirit of Ecstasy. The interior has likewise been gilded with gold embroidery atop the light brown leather and white trim to match the coachwork.
The result may be elegant but is certainly not subtle. And of course it's just the latest in a long line of special editions and one-offs Rolls-Royce has crafted, particularly for markets in the Middle and Far East.
Rolls-Royce debuts Phantom Drophead Coupe Waterspeed Collection
Tue, 13 May 2014For 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.
