1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, Silver Over Black. on 2040-cars
Langley, British Columbia, Canada
|
1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Silver Grey over Black with red pin stripes (also matching twin pin stripes on the wheel covers). I purchased this car in Las Vegas about 28 years ago. I drove it home to Vancouver, BC and used it sparingly. About every 3 years or so I would drive the car for a month or so in the Summer. (I had as many as 23 cars in my collection). Recently I have not driven the car very much at all. It gets driven on the roads in our property occasionally, but has not been licensed for the public road since 2002. There are zero dents or dings. I had the car repainted in 1990 because of a blemish caused by spilled brake fluid. The exterior shows extremely well. The interior has the usual patina on the leather and the shellac on the door caps needs a re-do; see the close up pics. The cloth material on the A pillars has some sun damage, see pic. The last time I drove the car, it had developed a sticking brake caliper on the front left corner. This still needs fixing. If you have any questions or need additional photos, just ask. |

2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith is everything you need, everything you don't [w/videos]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013It's not often that we get to talk about a new Rolls-Royce, what with the fact that the company's current model line is basically made up of two vehicles. But that all changes here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with the introduction of what might be the most emotional Roller of modern times, the Wraith.
The new two-door Rolls is effectively a Ghost coupe, and it stands to reason that this is Royce's answer to the Bentley Continental GT, albeit at a higher price point. Much higher, actually - the 245,000-euro - $320k USD - price of entry for the Wraith is about $100,000 more than a Continental GT Speed coupe. Woof. And to our eyes, all that extra money isn't buying you much in the looks department, as the collective opinion of the Autoblog editors on-site in Geneva is that it's more imposing than elegant.
But the Wraith will no doubt be a special, exclusive, impressive machine for anyone who plunks down that sort of cash. For starters, it's powered by a V12 that puts out an impressive 624 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque mated to an eight-speed ZF "Satellite Aided" transmission. This nifty cog-swapper actually works with GPS to not only pre-select the right gear for the portion of road you're on, but for the next portion of you'll be driving on, as well. That, friends, is cool.
Rolls-Royce planning plug-in hybrid
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Rolls-Royce is not the first marque you'd think of when it comes to environmentally friendly transportation. Its cars are big - often the size of SUVs - and pack ginormous twelve-cylinder engines displacing over six and a half liters. Those upright Parthenon grilles can't be very aerodynamic, either. But the way the wind is blowing these days, Goodwood will have to get with the program sooner or later.
It developed an electric version of the Phantom a couple of years ago called the 102EX and showed it to customers around the world. But people weren't interested, so Rolls-Royce killed the program. Not to be deterred, however, Rolls is now said to be working on a plug-in hybrid that would countermand some of the shortcomings - like range and recharging times - that killed the 102EX.
The technology would apparently be borrowed from parent company BMW which is developing it for the X5 eDrive and allow Rolls-Royce to reduce its carbon footprint and offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation to those who don't want to skimp on the luxury and prestige.
Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
