Rolls Royce Silver Shadow on 2040-cars
Dayton, Ohio, United States
This is a complete running driving car. Restore it, use it for parts for your other Rolls, or drive it as it is. I am no longer playing with these old cars. The interior is in fairly nice shape. Great headliner, seats are good. The door panels will need to be redyed. They probably look good in the pictures, but close up they do not look as good. I do not have a face plate for the aftermarket radio. The carpet is ok. The dash looks good for a car of this age. The frame and undercarriage are not perfect, but solid. The vinyl top is in good shape. The green paint is old, and not the best job. From 20 feet away it looks show quality, but upon close observation, it is rough. The paint appears to be enamel. I do not know anybody who has applied enamel in 25 years, so the paint is old. Easy refinish if you have the time. The front bumper is solid, but needs to be rechromed. The rest of the bright work is in nice condition. I believe this to be a complete car without any missing pieces with the exception of a missing passenger door arm rest. Rebuild this one as it is, or use the parts for your own project. This car is worth more to collectors for all the trim, than I am asking for the car. Please bid with the intention of buying the car. I do not want to relist this car due to nonpaying bidders. I am an Ohio Car dealer, and as such must collect sales tax if it applies to you. I will do all Ohio title work if necessary at my expense. You are responsible for title fees in any other state than Ohio. I am requiring a $200. Deposit via Paypal within 24 hrs. of the end of the auction. If not received, I will offer the car to the next bidder. Final payment due within 7 days. I can store the car for up to 30 days in my heat controlled barn until it can be picked up. I can assist you in arranging transportation, but the transportation fees is not included in the auction price. I hope you have fun with your new car. |

Man drives Rolls-Royce for 78 years then makes museum donation to ensure its preservation
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Mr. Allen Swift died in 2005 at the impressive age of 102, but his automotive story is even more remarkable. Not only is the gentleman credited with owning a Rolls-Royce automobile longer than anyone else in the world, but he had the forethought and funds to ensure its future preservation after his death.
In 1928, while living in Springfield, Massachusetts, Swift's father gave him a 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster as a graduation present (Springfield and Rolls-Royce have a history - from 1920 to 1931, the British automaker built 2,944 vehicles in the city as part of its attempt to establish a US plant). The young man was passionate about his green-over-green softtop convertible, not only driving it on a regular basis, but maintaining it meticulously over the decades (the two door-received a complete body-off restoration and engine rebuild in 1988).
Rolls-Royce acknowledged Mr. Swift in 1994, awarding him a crystal Spirit of Ecstasy award for his length of ownership. By 2005, Swift had logged more than 170,000 miles on its analog odometer and he was recognized as the oldest living person to have owned a car from new. He passed away that year.
Home of Rolls-Royce Collection makes debut at the Quail
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Rolls-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.
Latest Rolls-Royce Wraith teaser reveals fastback form
Tue, 26 Feb 2013In its fourth and final teaser before the 2014 Wraith is introduced next week, Rolls-Royce has released another image of the car showing a distinct fastback appearance. We've seen this car teased in its profile before, but that image had a heavy shadow over the rear of the car obscuring what should be the Wraith's defining element.
Rolls-Royce motorcars aren't exactly known for having overtly sporty proportions, but this could all change with the Wraith's styling. Judging by the teased drawing and official words from Rolls-Royce, the coupe's roofline will flow practically in a straight line from the A-pillar back to the rear of the car. With such a design, the Wraith could well become one of the world's most elegant and expensive hatchbacks, though it may also have a conventional hinged trunk opening.
Over the last month, we've also seen a rear shot of the car as well as glimpse of what the interior has in store, but the two images showing the car's profile give us our best idea of what to expect when the car is unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. Until then, you can check out our winter testing spy shots and read a brief quote from Rolls-Royce design director Giles Taylor in the press release posted below.
