1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow on 2040-cars
Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This auction is for a 1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I. The car is finished in two-tone paint and has a tan leather interior with dark brown piping. The car starts easily, runs well and rides as a Rolls-Royce should. The car comes with a complete maintenance history from 2004 through 2012 and has been owned since 1985. The car has always been garaged and has a clear Pennsylvania title. Rolls Royce spent 11 years perfecting the design of the Silver Shadow. First launched in 1965, the Silver Shadow included many new features and luxury enhancements. The transmission, seats, windows, aerial, and climate control were now electrically operated and the suspension was self-leveling. The Silver Shadow was also the first Rolls Royce to feature monocoque construction. Having rolled over this example bears and odometer
reading of 3,278 miles meaning the car has traveled 103,278 miles. The car is taken out for short exercise rides weekly. This
Silver Shadow is a driver quality car and is not without some flaws. The
interior wood finish is what one would expect of a car of this age, however
there are a few spots - most notably the driver’s side door that needs
refinishing. The power windows operate slowly and the driver’s side window has
stalled short of closing in the past. There is a small tear in the driver side
door upholstery; a small burn on the right rear side (not on the seat surface
itself) of the seat (closest to the door) and a small burn on the right side interior
door armrest panel by the ashtray. The body has some small scratches, a tiny dent on the
front passenger door and two deeper scratches (one on driver’s side rear and
one on the rear). The car has a battery tender installed to keep the battery
fresh. |

Rolls-Royce goes glam, celebrates Art Deco heritage in Paris
Thu, 27 Sep 2012Rolls-Royce has used the 2012 Paris Motor Show to pull the covers off its art deco-inspired Phantom saloon, Phantom Drophead Coupé and Ghost models. These three bespoke machines are said to pay homage to the 1925 Paris Exhibition or Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. Not coincidentally, the phrase 'art deco' was coined at that very show.
These three models are finished in period-correct color schemes and feature details that include mother of pearl and silver inlays and ornamental glassware. According to Giles Taylor, Design Director Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, "Art Deco was defined by theatre, glamour and a sense of excitement. Working to create contemporary interpretations of these classic themes has been enormously rewarding for everyone in my bespoke design team." But of course.
Feel free to check out our live gallery of high-res images above along with the official shots released by Rolls-Royce below. There's also a press release or two waiting for your prying eyes, if you're so inclined.
Rolls-Royce Wraith convertible planned, SUV rumors kicked to the curb
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Seeing as it adheres to the exotic car template we've known for years, it should surprise no one that the next model from Rolls-Royce will reportedly be a convertible version of the Wraith. When the coupe is on its way to dealers at the end of this year, company CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös has told Autocar that the British luxury marque start applying itself to the convertible.
At no time will they apply themselves to an SUV, though. Still sticking to its brand-value guns, Müller-Ötvös says that an SUV wouldn't have that trademark Rolls-Royce feeling and that such a vehicle hasn't even been discussed. Having heard this before from other brands, we can't help but suspect that one day in the future we'll hear the phrase, "Oh, but this is the Rolls-Royce of SUVs."
The investment in an SUV would also mean a huge investment in the factory at Goodwood, however, since Wraith production is expected to need three shifts and raise levels to near capacity. And forget about building anything from The Spirit of Ecstasy somewhere else, Müller-Ötvös saying, "Rolls-Royces are built in Goodwood."
Rolls-Royce Phantom celebrates decade of decadence
Fri, 04 Jan 2013Ten years ago, Rolls-Royce opened its Goodwood manufacturing facility and handed over the keys to the very first Phantom. Back then, parent company BMW was cranking out Phantom sedans at the blistering pace of one unit per day. By the end of 2003, that number had tripled, and today, the Goodwood plant builds a total of 20 Phantoms in sedan, coupe, drophead and extended-wheelbase models during a single day's working hours. Originally, there were fewer than 400 workers on staff responsible for hand-building the big cruisers, but now the plant boasts over 1,400 craftsmen, with 100 of those positions added in 2012 alone.
Rolls-Royce boasts one of the lowest staff turnover rates of any brand in the industry, thanks in part to a successful apprenticeship and internship program, and the company notes 80 percent of its workers live within 15 miles of the facility. You can read the full press release on the 10th anniversary of both the Phantom and the Goodwood plant below.
