Motor Car Description

Hello, and welcome to a special auction that has been designed for your enjoyment. I am a broker, and I have been hired by the owner of this vehicle to sell it for him on ebay. He is a doctor, and does not have the luxury to sell his own car. The pictures that have been taken for this auction are from my own digital camera, and the downloaded pictures are specifically for this auction. The pictures have not been touched or photoshopped, they are the original pictures that you see. How do you introduce a car, but not just a car, a motor car. A motor car that is considered the "Best Car In The World." I would like to present to you a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, showcasing the 6.7 Liter, V-8, engine that was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1970. The snow white factory paint, with factory blue vinyl top, drips with luxury with hand painted matching pin stripes on fenders and wheel covers. The rich, and soft Connolly Hyde leather seats, that were dyed in matching blue are more than comfortable. The Walnut-Burl wood, split trim, a Rolls-Royce hallmark, are opposite matching wood grains to the front doors as well as the rear doors. The all wool headliner is in perfect condition. The matching blue Wilton wool carpets are comfortable and I am told many women sitting in the back seat, did not want to put their shoes back on. The center console and dash come with radio and 8 track tape player. Adjustable arm rests. Engine is carburated, lubrication by wet sump, and ABS brakes. Don't forget the battery is in the trunk. Fuel tank capacity about 28 gallons, the car weighs about 4,670 pounds. and comes with a 120.2 wheel base. As most British cars during this time period. used Lucas electrical wiring throughout the vehicle. The Rolls-Royce has had only two owners since new. We have some maintenance history. Tires are new, has about 75,000 original miles on the odometer. Clear title and pink slip in hand. This Rolls-Royce has been in Southern California it's entire life and it has always been garaged. All services are up to date. It is wonderful to drive, and very powerful. General motors air conditioning system and General motors transmission assembly, works, shifts and drives on point.

Romancing the Rolls

Twelve years ago, two Doctors finished a seminar at a Hotel and were in conversation as they walked out the front door. Asking where the one had parked and he said right here, the other doctor said where? The other answered right here and pointed to a white Rolls-Royce with blue top and trim. The Hotel knowing that by putting a Rolls-Royce in front would show the public the type of customers they cater to. The other Doctor was surprised and went for a ride. He stated that he wanted one too, the same year and color. His friend took him seriously and after a two year search, found a matching White and Blue Rolls-Royce like his. Found it for sale in Palm Springs, California. A perfect dry place to locate a nice clean and nicely kept motor car. His friend drove out to Palms Springs and bought the car on the spot. They both had matching cars. Many seminars, meetings and family gatherings, the two matching Rolls-Royces would bring a crowd, and start comparing the two cars. The Doctor that owns this car, has always felt honored to have it. It was not just a car, but a symbol of the achievement of hard work. He felt he earned and enjoyed the extra special attention given to him and his family while driving it. Regardless the condition that you find any Rolls-Royce, it still represents the symbol of high achievement, because it is still a Rolls-Royce. The other Doctor moved out of state, and both Doctors are no longer able to meet up with their families and their Rolls-Royces. Going out on the town, or a drive up the coast, is still glorious. It seemed the Doctor was always Romancing the Rolls.

The Quest for Perfection in an un-perfect world

This Silver Shadow will come into it's 40th Birthday, December of 2012. Not bad for those years! They say 40 is the new 30! As we all know, time marches on and sometimes it can show. We always want to look our best, but sometimes, there are things that need some work, some tender loving care, and in some instances, this beautiful motor car, has had some issues pop up. It is only fair, that I mention these items. As you read on, things can be fixed and repaired and brought back to factory specs. The following are items that have merit to mention. We have noticed that at times, the windows will stick, sometime they all go up and down and sometimes one or two will not go up and down. We noticed the gas guage fluctuates and at times, does not always read a full tank. With so many coats of shellack over the walnut wood, some cracking can occur. The wood in the doors is perfect, but the coatings on the dash show some cracking. Remember this car is in great original shape, it is not a restored vehicle. The air conditioning works, it is cool, but you can't freeze a turkey in there. The engine does have a tapping noise, which seems to come and go. Engine works good, and plenty of compression, a good solid engine, but something to eventually look at it, but does not seem to effect driveability at all. The blue vinyl top, looks good, but is showing wear, mostly in the areas where there is some stiching, over time, vinyl tops can dry out and stretch a little, and that maybe something to look at. The "Winged Victory" mascot on the radiator cap is there and with wings spread out and ready to lead this car ahead. The Doctor's family now is grown and left home, and they are downsizing and had to make a gut wrenching decision to let go of the "love of his life." Therefore, we present this car to you in this auction, to take home and cherish it as these owners have done for forty years.

Rolls-Royce developing new convertible

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

Rolls-Royce is not a company that makes a lot of different vehicles, but of the ones it does, it tends to offer several versions. That's how we end up with sedan, long-wheelbase, coupe and (in the former's case) convertible versions of the Phantom and Ghost. And now Goodwood has confirmed development of another model.
Although details in the press release below are few and far between, it does promise to "deliver effortless, open-top touring... with an engaging and exhilarating driving experience." CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös added: "We are currently developing an exciting and thoroughly contemporary interpretation of a pinnacle drophead tourer which will introduce even more discerning men and women to Rolls-Royce ownership."
What that tells us is that the new model - set to reach showrooms "by mid-2016" - will be a convertible that's exciting to drive and more youthful than the Phantom Drophead Coupe. In other words, and in all likelihood, we're looking at the convertible version of the Ghost-based Wraith fastback (like the one we recently spotted undergoing testing, pictured above). Expect it, then, to carry the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12, but with the added rush of wind in your hair.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan configurator delivers a near-bespoke experience

Tue, May 29 2018

Earlier this month we configured a McLaren Senna with the assistance of two representatives of McLaren Special Operations. In that piece we wrote about few chances there are for the online "shopper" to get a feel for the coachbuilt experience; the Ferrari LaFerrari configurator offered just three color options, for instance, and Bugatti removed the few variables it presented for the Chiron. McLaren didn't build a public configurator for the Senna. It's the Rolls-Royce Cullinan to the rescue — at least for now Â— with a brand new configurator that can keep you busy for hours. The Cullinan configurator lists seven categories: Inspired Specs, Exterior Style, Exterior Options, Interior Style, Interior Options, Personalization, and Accessories. Inspired Specs comprises eight themes, such as the sassy Urban (Hero), and the self-evident Wellness or Indulgence. To play outside the lines, go to Exterior style to choose one of 16 colors, 23 Coachlines (pinstripes) in single or double lines, seven wheels, and two wheel detail options Â— whether or not to have the wheel centers matched to the body color. Polish the exterior details with four options for the Spirit of Ecstasy, a satin silver hood, or a tow hitch. View 30 Photos Take a breather and a cup of Lady Grey tea, then dive in again with the interior, starting with six potential "schemes" or a bespoke interior module. We haven't worked out the permutations, but you can create a wildly large number of different cabins with the 20 different interior colors. The seats alone offer color choices for the inserts, gussets, inners, main body, and valance and seat backs. You can specify a color for the sun visors. Harley Quinn would love it. And after all that, you've still got three more categories to work though. We chose a Cullinan in Anthracite, with a double coachline in Creme Light, on 22-inch wheels, and with a trailer hitch Â— to tow our Icon A5 amphibious plane, because we already have a Ford F-450 Super Duty for the boat. A Tan interior mixed with Seashell accents should be a fine place to hear nothing of the outside world thanks to Rolls-Royce's sandwiched windows. But we're considering going with Ardent Red instead, so we'll see you over at the configurator. Related Video:

'Most expensive safety deposit box in the world' has a Rolls-Royce ferry

Wed, Dec 4 2019

Ultra-high-end security and storage company International Bank Vaults (IBV) has several locations around the world, but as of next week, none will be more exclusive than the London branch. IBV is set to open a new vault with what's claimed to be the most expensive safety deposit boxes in the world. With price come perks, however, including a personal Rolls-Royce Ghost chauffeur to take customers to and from the vault. According to The Guardian, IBV, owned by South African millionaire Ashok Sewnarain, decided to open the new vault as a response to rapidly increasing demand for private wealth storage from the world's richest people. “We wonÂ’t deal with millionaires," managing director of the new facility Sean Hoey said. "We will be dealing only with billionaires.Â” For the top tier of the rich, a full room can be rented out for about $3.3 million per year. On a much lower scale, the cheapest available safety deposit box will cost about $785 to rent per year. Those boxes are pretty small, however, at about two inches high, 6.3 inches wide, and 19.3 inches deep. Hoey says it's enough space to store jewelry or "a fair few gold bars."Â At this location, when the customers need to deposit or withdrawal spare gold bars in between polishing sessions, a chauffeur will arrive in a Rolls-Royce Ghost for proper luxury transportation. To get to the underground vault, two door people will take clients through fingerprint and iris scans. The vault itself is secured from theft attempts by steel lining in the walls, ceiling, and floor. Read more and see photos of the building on The Guardian. This content is hosted by a third party.
