This first of the Silver Shadow series has undergone a very detailed restoration. It is a very true and straight example finished in sought after classic Masons black with light tan Connolly leather interior, highlighted with hand-painted contrasting fine pin-striping to the waist-line and hub-cap beauty rings.
Beautifully and fully restored by the Park-Ward Motor Museum, it was a southern state clean and dry example to begin with. The body was straight & rust-free but the paint was faded and cracked. So it underwent a high-end repaint by our experienced Rolls-Royce and Bentley dedicated body-shop . It is now lustrous and consistent. Being a brand new paint job it is without any marks or blemishes of any kind. The front and rear window were removed from the car during the repaint and new rubbers fitted upon re-assembly. The fine-lines were hand-painted by one of the few remaining craftsmen of the art. The car has always been climate control stored since its restoration and has never seen rain, snow or salt.
The interior is in stunning condition presenting in totally original format. The leather is all original having been re-Connollised. Overall, it is excellent in appearance with only a minimal amount of patina from moderate use over the years. It is a very welcomed look. There are no cuts, tears or worn patches. The leather itself will need ongoing hide food rejuvenation to bring back its complete suppleness. Park-Ward craftsmen have already commenced this operation which takes about 12 months to finalise. The carpets are new Wilton wool, flown in specially from the United Kingdom for this restoration and were custom-made to factory look. Right down to the use of genuine leather binding on all edges. The African burl walnut wood is excellent with all the dash, front window embellishing, all 4 door cappings and vanity mirrors having been recently refinished by our own wood-working shop. The car has original picnic tables fitted to the rear of the front seats which was also redone by Park-Ward's wood refinishing shop. The wood is carefully stripped and no less than 25 coats of clear lacquer is applied. Each, hand-rubbed between coats to achieve a very high-lustre and glass like smooth gloss finish. The picnic tables and the doors are the high-light of the interior with a stunning wood-grain that displays, by the grace of nature, a heavy contrast of light and dark grains.
The dash top-roll and rear parcel shelf are in perfect condition.

2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Wafting In The Fastest And Most Powerful Vehicle RR Has Ever Made
It is said that Rolls-Royce co-founder Sir Henry Royce once proclaimed: "Take the best that exists and make it better: When it does not exist, design it." The second part of that quote is most curious, as the century-old automaker recently introduced an all-new Ghost-based coupe with no apparent peers - a two-door boasting a 624-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V12 with rear-wheel drive and sleek fastback styling.
Yet despite its specifications, it was never planned to be a sports coupe. Rather, the British automaker tells us that it was thoroughly engineered to be, "a car where the sense of arrival and joy of the journey are as important as the canvas upon which it is drawn." Whatever that means.
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.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
