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.

Editors' Picks March 2022 | Acura RDX, VW GLI and a Rolls-Royce

Tue, Apr 5 2022

This month's Editors' Picks offer a little something at every budget. We call out a performance car as cheap as the Volkswagen GLI, but the Rolls-Royce Ghost also manages to make its way on to the list. Of course, very few folks can afford a Ghost, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an engineering master class. In addition to these options, we also dive into the compact luxury SUV market, one that is bursting with choices. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2022 Acura RDX Quick take:Â The RDX ticks a lot of boxes for a great price. It drives better than expected, offers excellent tech, has plenty of room and even looks the part. Score:Â 7.0 What it competes with: Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class, BMW X3, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, Lexus NX, Infiniti QX50, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Genesis GV70, Porsche Macan, Jaguar F-Pace, Lincoln Corsair Pros:Â Value, driving dynamics, space Cons:Â Infotainment is polarizing, midgrade interior From the editors Road Test Editor Zac Palmer Â— "The RDX is a bit of a sleeper in this segment. It drives far better than many of its competitors, and it doesn't let you down in any particular area. If you were thinking of buying an entry-level option from one of the Germans, make sure you take the RDX into account, because you'll likely end up with more tech and features for an even lower price. News Editor Joel Stocksdale Â— "The Acura RDX is an impressive value in the small luxury SUV segment. It starts in the low $40,000 price range, and provides loads of standard convenience and safety features. Everything is packaged in a sharp and surprisingly spacious package, too. It's also nimble and has a punchy engine that makes it fun to drive. You may find some competitors that surpass it in some areas, but the Acura offers about the most for the money of anything in the segment." In-depth analysis:Â 2022 Acura RDX Review | Value-packed and surprisingly sporty Â 2022 Volkswagen Jetta GLI Quick take:Â The GLI offers excellent driving dynamics and great styling for someone who doesn't want a hatchback. It's pricey, but it's worth it.

This is the very last Rolls-Royce Phantom VII

Tue, Jan 31 2017

Rolls-Royce built its very last Phantom VII today. The model was first introduced in 2003 and ends with this one-of-a-kind long-wheelbase model that will go to the unnamed Rolls-Royce collector who commissioned it. The car itself is themed around 1930s-era ships, which is in turn a nod to the era of the first Phantom I, launched in 1925. Immediately upon looking at the car's "Blue Velvet" paint scheme, you can see the oceanic influence. The color is accompanied by coach lines with a ship motif, and the tires have white lines to complement it. Inside, the car features the beautiful marquetry wood trim the brand has become known for. The dashboard shows a '30s-era ship with a map of North America and Europe in the background. Further maritime highlights include dash clocks modeled after ship radios, and embroidery on the "Powder Blue" leather that mimics the look of ocean waves. The front dash clock has a movable bezel for different time zones, and Rolls-Royce says the carpeting has been cut to look like a ship's wake. While this generation of the Phantom is at an end, it's by no means the end of the line for the name. We've seen prototypes of the Phantom VIII running around, and Rolls-Royce has openly said that a successor is coming. We expect the new generation will only be available in short- and long-wheelbase sedans to start, and will probably be revealed sometime this year, perhaps as soon as the Geneva Show in March, or as late as the Pebble Beach Concours in August.
