1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Ii * One Owner * Immaculate Original Condition on 2040-cars
Valley Stream, New York, United States
|
1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II -One owner. -Completely unrestored and in 100% original factory condition. -Meticulously maintained by the original owner since new. -106,xxx miles. -Overall immaculate for its age. -Original everything (mechanicals, paint, interior, chrome, glass, lighting, electronics, etc), all in pristine condition functionally and cosmetically. -Garaged since new. -Never modified or abused. -100% accident free with a clean and clear history and title. -Only serviced using original Rolls Royce parts since new. Mechanics: -Starts, runs, and drives great with no problems. Starts on the first turn of the key, idles smoothly, and accelerates with full power and proper compression in all cylinders. As per all 30+ year old European cars, there is a normal "warm up" period required on cold starts only. Meaning, if not used regularly, upon starting the car for the first time it will need a few minutes at idle for all of the fluids and mechanical components to get up to normal operating temperature. This is only on cold start. -The transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly through all of its gears. Absolutely no slipping, delays, or problems of any kind. The gear selector is on the steering column and has a very effortless, yet precise feel when changing throughout gears. -The suspension and steering have a very confident feel that is both firm and precise, yet also very soft and comfortable. Words cannot describe how great this particular example rides. I welcome and encourage any potential buyers to see the car in person and experience it for themselves. -The brakes do work well and leave me with full confidence in their stopping power, however there is a warning light on the dash, one of the two brake pressure warning lights. Only the "2 Brake Pressure" warning is lit, the "1 Brake Pressure" warning is NOT lit. Fortunately, it does go off at times -- usually after driving the car for about 10-15+ minutes. I have not had the time to have this checked, however I'd like to disclose it to the new owner. -No leakage of any fluids anywhere on this vehicle. -A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days. Heater works flawlessly as well. -Wheels and tires are all in great shape as well. -This beauty drives like it's on clouds, with extreme effortlessness, "the car drives you". It is extremely solid and feels like the brilliantly crafted luxury car that it is. Cosmetics: -Beautiful two tone exterior finished in the sought after Silver Sand over Chestnut Brown with an equally beautiful Tan leather interior with Banana piping. Both interior and exterior are in amazing unrestored original condition. The color combinations are absolutely beautiful. -Paint is in excellent shape all around. Overall a solid 9/10. Deep and glossy, it still bares its original luster in all of its glory. Extremely minor bubbling under the paint, a little bigger than the tip of a ball point pen, is starting to pop up in a very small and unnoticeable section on the passenger side where the rear wheel well meets the lower rocker. There is no rust showing, it is just bubbling under the paint, but the paint itself over the bubbling is not cracked or chipped at all. It is barely noticeable, though I'd like to disclose it to the new owner. -All rubber and weatherstripping is original and has held up great throughout the years. Virtually crack free, it is still fresh looking, and not dried-out as commonly found on cars of this vintage -No rust around the front and rear windshields, which is another commonly found problem on cars of this vintage. -The entire structure which makes up the car is extremely solid and completely rust free. The floors, wheel wells, and rockers are all extremely solid as well with no rust. -It is continually evident that this car was meticulously cared for and constantly garaged. -The interior is in immaculate condition all around. Overall a solid 9.5/10. The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in great shape with no stains, rips, tares, or defects or any kind. All of the wood is in magnificent condition with absolutely no cracking, splitting, or chipping of the veneer. The wood's color and condition beautifully compliment the car and it's color combinations. It all comes together oozing old world English craftsmanship. The headliner looks like new, with not even the slightest of sagging anywhere. The leather is all in amazing shape and looks like new. There is some extremely minimal wear on the driver's seat, but absolutely no rips, tares, holes, or defects of any kind anywhere. -All chrome is original and exceptional with no pitting, cracking, or oxidation anywhere. -All glass and lighting is also original and in excellent shape. -The hood, trunk, and all four doors open and close with precise craftsmanship similar to that of a safe. Disclaimer: Despite being a meticulously maintained, one owner example of this English built luxury sedan, it is a used 1980 model year Rolls Royce with 106,xxx miles. For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car. It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 34+ years old. Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order. Car is sold as-is, where-is. No warranty is express or implied. I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns. Good luck bidding! I have many more photos that I can email any interested parties. I also have many detailed videos of the car driving from different points of view. |

Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at N"urburgring
Wed, 10 Oct 2012While 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.
2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II [w/video]
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Rolls-Royce Director of Global Communications Richard Carter tells me that his storied employer is "a company that does not chase volume." In a perfect world, mused Carter, the carmaker would sell "one less" of its ultra-luxury vehicles than the fast-expanding world market demands.
And, thanks in no small part to the unprecedented success of the Series I Rolls-Royce Ghost that launched in 2010, the Brit brand seems well positioned to strike that perfect balance between exclusivity and record profits. In 2003 (the year in which the first BMW-backed Rolls rolled off the line in West Sussex), the company managed to sell around 500 cars. This year, with the first run of already-back-ordered Ghost Series II models still weeks away from delivery, the marque will top 4,000 units for the first time in its history.
Considering that each one of those "units" - a somewhat unsatisfying term for motor car this special - will gross Rolls-Royce $300,000 if we're being very conservative, you'll quickly see that creating a very desirable product for one of the best brands in the world negates the need to chase volume. The rich and free-spending are chasing this Ghost, instead.
eBay Find of the Day: Andy Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Sun, 25 May 2014Andy Warhol is one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th Century. With hits like his famous Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits, he is likely the first name you think of in association with the pop art movement. He isn't known for being an auto enthusiast, though, but maybe that's not entirely the case - there was his BMW M1 art car, after all. Now, Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is up for auction on eBay Motors.
According the seller, Warhol never had a driver's license, but he still wanted to own a luxurious car. It's claimed that he occasionally had his famous friends, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, chauffeur him around in the Rolls. Following Warhol's death in 1987, the car was auctioned for $77,000, and since then it has only been sold to one additional owner.
The Rolls is painted Walnut and Mason's Black, which appears closer to a shade of brown in these photos, with a black leather interior. The engine is the company's' popular 6.75-liter V8 with a three-speed automatic transmission, and there are just 56,000 miles on this luxurious classic. The seller is including copies of original purchase order from Rolls-Royce and the title to Warhol Enterprises to prove the famous artist's ownership of the car, plus all of its service records.
