I have for sale this nice 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow purchased in Florida around 10 years ago. The body is in nice condition, it does have a small dent and scratch on the driver's rear panel (see picture). (damaged caused by 92 year old driver backing into barn who's license was taken away for medical reasons). Seller's daughter had her son cut a brake line so her father would not drive the car, he did, and caused the damage to the fender, thereby, resulting in the car being sold. I test drove the car for my father prior to purchase, it runs and drives fine. All the car needed was the brake line replaced. The interior shows typical wear and exposure to the Florida sun, leather is cracked and the driver's seat back panel on the left side is cracked open. The rest of the interior is shown in the photos. The truck lid paint is not two toned, that is water streaks from taking the cover off. The car runs and drives well, mechanic states it should have a tune up because this car was not driven much since it was purchased by the 92 year owner. It does have the usual RR exhaust leak, however, the exhaust does not look like it is broken, possibly a gasket under the car somewhere. The Michelin Tires are in nice shape, chrome is nice, headliner in good condition. The Rolls is a nice starter car or candidate for restoration if you want a very nice car in the end. This car is a nice daily driver with a few dollars invested. My father purchased the car last year, since then, my dad has passed, so now I am selling the car... I found out from his friends that his dream was to have a nice looking blonde from Hooters sit in the back seat of the Rolls wearing only a mink coat, nothing else... Keep dreaming.. I have the opened signed title, ready for the "NEW" owner's signature. The Rolls shows a recent N.Y.S. Inspection indicating that it passed all safety requirements for this state... Beyond what I have told you, I do not know very much else, the car has been sitting on a plastic cover and has a car cover on it in my yard, Dad, never drove the car. I also have another of his Rolls (1979 Silver Shadow) to sell after I sell this 1977 black Rolls. Call Joe at 585-797-7613 from 12 noon until 11:00 PM daily ONLY....

Grey Poupon's Pardon Me Lost Footage ad airs during Oscars
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Those of you that took our tip and tuned in for last night's Academy Awards may have caught the latest iteration of the famous Grey Poupon commercials, featuring a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans and their condiment-loving stewards. The update to the 1981 commercial was only shown in part on television, however, as the mustard company directed viewers to its website to see the entirety of the Lost Footage spot. Of course if you didn't bother then, you can just scroll down to see the full-length two-minute commercial here.
As you're viewing, note that the Grey Poupon marketers did not, it would appear, get official sanction from Rolls-Royce this time around. While the Rollers in the commercial have all sorts of James Bond-like accouterments, they don't appear to have the official Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornaments, for example, and they have restyled lights and grilles. Check out the new spot below, and see if it stacks up to the iconic Pardon Me original.
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini utilities await approval from German parents [w/poll]
Wed, 22 Oct 2014A cursory look at the top of the automobile market would suggest that the world's carmakers are gunning it full steam ahead into a new stratosphere of ultra-luxury and high-performance utility vehicles. After all, companies like Bentley and Maserati are preparing to launch their very first crossovers, while established players like Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover keep producing ever more expensive sport-utes of their own. But that's not the case across the board.
Rolls-Royce, for example, has yet to receive the green light to start working on its proposed CUV project. Though the dimensions of its sedans may already eclipse those of some crossovers, this would be the first time that Goodwood would produce a utility of its own. But while the British automaker's financial performance may have earned it a degree of autonomy, the final call may still come down to parent company BMW, which just might be waiting to see how Bentley fares with its upcoming crossover - and how much money it brings in to the Volkswagen Group - before deciding on whether or not it should proceed.
However, Rolls-Royce may not be alone in waiting for its German parent company to approve its high-priced ute. It's been two and a half years since we first laid eyes on the Lamborghini Urus (pictured), but the Italian automaker reportedly has not yet received approval from its parent company Audi and the greater Volkswagen Group to proceed with development and production. Envisioned to share its platform with the next Volkswagen Touareg, Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and the production version of the Bentley EXP 9 F concept, the high-riding Lamborghini was originally set to reach production as the marque's third model line in 2017. But while Audi drags its feet - potentially waiting to see how the Bentley version pans out - the Urus' launch keeps getting pushed back, if it's ever to be made at all.
Rolls-Royce starts a turf war in the Garden of Wraith
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The Rolls-Royce Wraith would not be our first choice for hooning. Sure, it's god 624 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels, but it's an automatic, it costs the better part of $300,000 and it's laden with more leather, wood and carpeting than Harrod's. Leave it to Tax the Rich to toss it around then.
For those unfamiliar, the YouTube channel sporadically features videos of some of the most powerful and expensive pieces of automotive machinery being put up to no good. They've done the Ferrari 288 GTO, F50 (two of 'em, in fact) and Enzo and even the Jaguar XJ220 - twice - but now they've turned their attention to the most powerful Rolls ever, tossing it around the grounds of an old-world mansion estate like it was a Subie.
