1975 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

(Long Wheel Base)

Conveniently located in Chicago's WEST Suburbs !!!

NO RESERVE !!!

Happy New Years !!! I will be liquidating several classic Rolls Royce & Bentleys over the next few weeks, I've decided it's more logical to have a nice late model car (Rolls/Bentley), then a dozen classics. Although I will ALWAYS admire the classic styles and elegance these cars offer, I'd like to get a newer Bentley Arnage or Flying Spur. Dealers are encouraged to contact me.

I've had the car in my collection for almost a year. I liked the color, condition, & miles. I purchased the car sight unseen and was pleasantly surprised with my purchase. It's my understanding that the car started its life in Southern Texas and remained there for many years. In the mid 80's it changed hands to a wealthy business man in St. Louis, MO. I purchased it from a high profile watch maker/jeweler from Southern Illinois, who had it in his private collection for many years. I'm very fond of this terrific car and I'm sure you will be too !!!

Specifications:

Chassis #: LRD21783

Body: Caribbean Blue (one of the nicest colors offered), free of any major damage or scratches. There are a few blemishes in the paint, but you really have to look for them. I suspect the car has been repainted, but must have been a while ago. However the car shows very well and still has a great look to it. I would NOT repaint it by any means!

Interior: Navy Blue. Still has a nice color to it and minimal wear. Still has a distinct rich smell of high quality leather. The wood is very nice too, drivers door has a few minor cracks. Carpet & headliner in above average condition. The ever flex top will require replacement.

Technical: Starts up every time. Runs strong & quite. 61,000 miles showing and due to the nature and unmolested condition of the car it's believed to be accurate. Cold A/C & good heat. Power windows and door locks working correctly. It even has a working 8-track (musical storage units used prior iPod)... I've had a new battery installed and most recently a water pump (old ones bearing was making a rude noise). I would suggest the investment of new tires before any touring. This is a car you can drive. It's not a show car, but a clean "daily driver" and as I said before I'm letting go of almost a dozen Rolls/Bentleys to help acquire a late model Bentley. This Rolls Royce (LRD21783) is sold "as is", thanks!

No reserve !!! This car will sell to the highest bidder !!!

Thanks,

Jason (847)826-2584

Please ask for detailed pictures of areas or even better, come see it.

I reserve the right to end this auction early. I have advertised the car elsewhere. I will sell and resist another immediately.

Grey Poupon to air new version of famous Rolls-Royce ad, this time with car chase [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

Grey Poupon mustard will revive the concept behind its famous Pardon Me commercials with a new ad that will air only once on television during this Sunday's broadcast of the Academy Awards.
The original spot, which showed two one-percenters sharing the condiment between their Rolls-Royces at an intersection, first aired all the way back in 1981, and variations of it continued up through 1997. Kraft, owner of the Grey Poupon brand, is hoping that reviving the commercial will boost sagging sales and raise the mustard's profile with a younger generation of fancy folk.
So why are we talking about this on Autoblog? Because the new version of the ad won't end with a polite passing of the bottle. Rather, we're told a car chase ensues when the Grey Poupon's owner doesn't get it back. We're assuming the two cars in question will again be a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans, probably Phantoms unless they go with more vintage model years.

Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at N"urburgring

Wed, 10 Oct 2012

While all the gory details surrounding the new Rolls-Royce coupe - including its true name, "Corniche" is just a savory-sounding best guess right now - are still shrouded in mystery, this new set of clandestinely foraged images proves that the car probably won't be a slouch in terms of performance.
The Ghost-based Roller was spotted on the Nürburgring Nordschleife recently, demonstrating its sporting chops at the same time it was showing off it's impressive patrician nose. Expectations are that, when the new coupe is shown off for real at the Geneva Motor Show in March of next year, that nose will belong to the fastest production car to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Indications are that the Corniche will be rocking a turbocharged V12, making in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and using an eight-speed transmission.

Home of Rolls-Royce Collection makes debut at the Quail

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Rolls-Royce is marking 10 years of production at its Goodwood, England home, with the aptly named Home of Rolls-Royce Collection. The first instance of the Collection, a brilliantly appointed Phantom, has come to The Quail to make its world debut.
The goal of the Home of Rolls-Royce Collection seems to be to really showcase the kind of pristine, detailed work that the artisans back in Goodood are capable off, while creating a car that almost instantly achieves heirloom status. The Phantom seen here displays a truly impressive wood paneled cabin, where a technique called marquetry has been used to inlay some 170 sections of 11 different types of wood into a "celebration" motif.
You'll find a compass theme throughout the car as well - inside and out - which the company tells us is meant to highlight the sales of Goodwood-built Rollers on five continents across the world. Compass designs can be found on the armrests and center console, with each piece of embroidery taking more than 100,000 stitches to create. Not to be outdone in terms of time lavished, the compass motif painted on the exterior of the car takes one squirrel-hair-brush-wielding craftsman six hours to perfectly apply.
