I have for sale this nice 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow purchased in Florida around 10 years ago. The body is in nice condition, it does have a small dent and scratch on the driver's rear panel (see picture). (damaged caused by 92 year old driver backing into barn who's license was taken away for medical reasons). Seller's daughter had her son cut a brake line so her father would not drive the car, he did, and caused the damage to the fender, thereby, resulting in the car being sold. I test drove the car for my father prior to purchase, it runs and drives fine. All the car needed was the brake line replaced. The interior shows typical wear and exposure to the Florida sun, leather is cracked and the driver's seat back panel on the left side is cracked open. The rest of the interior is shown in the photos. The truck lid paint is not two toned, that is water streaks from taking the cover off. The car runs and drives well, mechanic states it should have a tune up because this car was not driven much since it was purchased by the 92 year owner. It does have the usual RR exhaust leak, however, the exhaust does not look like it is broken, possibly a gasket under the car somewhere. The Michelin Tires are in nice shape, chrome is nice, headliner in good condition. The Rolls is a nice starter car or candidate for restoration if you want a very nice car in the end. This car is a nice daily driver with a few dollars invested. My father purchased the car last year, since then, my dad has passed, so now I am selling the car... I found out from his friends that his dream was to have a nice looking blonde from Hooters sit in the back seat of the Rolls wearing only a mink coat, nothing else... Keep dreaming.. I have the opened signed title, ready for the "NEW" owner's signature. The Rolls shows a recent N.Y.S. Inspection indicating that it passed all safety requirements for this state... Beyond what I have told you, I do not know very much else, the car has been sitting on a plastic cover and has a car cover on it in my yard, Dad, never drove the car. I also have another of his Rolls (1979 Silver Shadow) to sell after I sell this 1977 black Rolls. Call Joe at 585-797-7613 from 12 noon until 11:00 PM daily ONLY....

Former Princess Diana Rolls-Royce being auctioned for charity [w/video]
Wed, 31 Oct 2012While it isn't that uncommon to see cars belonging to celebrities and dignitaries roll across the auction block these days, this car is a little extra special. This particular 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the car that Prince Charles and Princess Diana arrived at the White House in during a visit in 1985. As some added trivia, this was also the visit where Princess Di cut a rug with none other than John Travolta.
Volo Auto Museum will be auctioning off this piece of American and British history on November 9th - exactly 27 years from Princess Di's White House visit. According to the auction listing, this armored Silver Shadow was the official car of the UK's embassy, and it has been valued at around $2 million by the Berman Museum of History. The auction will have no reserve with some of the proceeds going to the Children with Cancer UK charity that Princess Diana started in 1988.
Scroll down for more information about this car and its auction as well as a video showing Prince Charles and Princess Diana arriving at the White House in the car back in 1985.
This exploding Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is angering, mesmerizing
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between Las Vegas and the emirates of the Persian Gulf, we're sure there are Rolls-Royces to be found in the desert all the time. And we don't doubt that, given those locations, one gets torched every so often. There'd probably even be someone in a tuxedo or evening gown running for cover when it happens, too. The thing is that we're seldom if ever there to watch it go down, much less capture it in stunning high-definition, frame-by-frame video when it does.
That's where this four-minute clip by Tyler Shields comes in. The American photographer and filmmaker staged and captured this Silver Shadow being doused in gasoline (or at least what we're supposed to believe is gasoline) and set afire in the Mojave Desert, along with actor Cru Ennis and actress Ana Mulvoy-Ten.
It's heartbreaking but mesmerizing, and you'll want to watch the video for yourself to see which side you fall on. If it's the former, take solace at least in the fact that the Silver Shadow is far from a rare beast. In fact, it remains by far the most prolific Rolls-Royce ever, with over 30,000 made between 1965 and 1980... so we doubt this one will be missed terribly.
Rolls-Royce releases sketch of Phantom Drophead Coupe Bespoke Waterspeed Collection
Wed, 05 Feb 2014A limited-edition Rolls-Royce Phantom is something of an oxymoron. The company only sold 3,630 cars last year, and even fewer of those were its flagship Phantom. However, that isn't keeping the company from regularly revealing even more limited editions of its already hyper-exclusive cars. This is precisely the case with the new Phantom Drophead Coupé Bespoke Waterspeed Collection, a forthcoming model limited to 35 examples.
The special models are inspired by a famous speedboat race on September 1, 1937, between the United States and Great Britain on Lake Maggiore on the Swiss-Italian border. The British fielded the Bluebird K3 hydroplane boat powered by a massive supercharged V12 Rolls-Royce R-Type engine with Sir Malcolm Campbell at the helm. All that displacement shot the sleek watercraft to 129.5 miles per hour, claiming a new world waterspeed record in the process.
For the special commemorative Drophead Coupé model that celebrates "a seminal act of British daring and endeavor," Rolls-Royce is finishing the convertible in Maggiore Blue paint with a brushed steel hood and tonneau cover, along with inlaid wood trim. Rolls is not announcing an official release date or price for the special cars yet, but they are going on sale before the end of the year. Scroll down for the whole story about the car's inspiration.
