1984 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Base Sedan 4-door 6.7l on 2040-cars
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
|
You are bidding on a long wheelbase Silver Spur. This car is mechanically sound and does the 340 mile-round trip from Norfolk to Charlottesville without a hiccup. The AC blows cold, hydraulics and brakes work well and the transmission shifts smoothly. All struts have been recently replaced, 3 of the 4 in the last 1000 miles. Ride quality remains better than most modern cars related to long wheelbase and weight. The radiator has recently been re-cored. Tires have less than 2000 miles of use.
The car looks very imposing but close inspection will show that the scuttles in front of the front and rear windows have been inexpertly resprayed. There are also a few bubbles of rust at the bottom of the rear window. The antenna does not extend when the radio is switched on and the housing of the front seat motors is cracked and seats have to be adjusted manually. The automatic locking sometime sticks on the rear L door and needs to be opened manually. The air pump has been removed but will come with the car. I would prefer prospective buyers to drive the car before bidding and hopefully restrict bidders to those that understand the glory and idiosyncrasies of these cars. |

Neglected Rolls-Royce Phantom may be the saddest of all time
Fri, 30 May 2014Rolls-Royce prides itself on exemplifying the pinnacle of automotive elegance. The brand is synonymous with quality and luxury. However, in the end even a Rolls is still just a car, and if you don't keep it up, it's bound to fail. That deterioration can be seriously fun to watch, though.
This 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom might now be one of the worst cars on the planet and only has a little over 95,000 miles on it. The video claims that the original owner in New Jersey didn't make payments on the car for three years but rented the sedan out to people and used it for a livery service. Now, it's repossessed and would probably cost more to fix than it's worth.
This Phantom has had a hard life. We don't want to spoil too many of the broken pieces because they pile up to become increasingly absurd. However, the pièce de résistance must to be the broken Spider-Man umbrella in the door.
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.
BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.
