Up for auction is my 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. This car is a respectable looking, good running and driving car that you can enjoy as it is and restore it a liitle at a time so you don't have to break the bank all at once. As you can see from the photos the interior is in need of TLC. The leather seats are dry and cracked, the carpet is worn, and the wood needs to be refinished. It is mechanically sound with a strong, smooth running 6.75L V8 and a transmission that shifts perfectly. The brakes are a bit low, but stop the car adequately. There is some bubbling underneath the everflex top and the passenger side front floorboard is rusted. The older repaint shows well and still holds a good shine. The trunk locking mechanism is broken but the trunk can still be opened and closed easily. I am selling the car as True Mileage Unknown because the odometer only works sporatically, however the speedometer works all of the time. With all the negatives being said, the big positve thing about this car is that you can enjoy a vintage Rolls Royce for the price of a used Hyundai. It will look great in your driveway and everyone you sit next to at a stoplight will think you're important!. The car is being sold with NO RESERVE which means the last bidder will own the car! I have described all of the defects that I know of and please bear in mind that you are buying a 34 year old car so don't expect it to be perfect. Please be advised this is an as-is private sale with no gaurantees of any kind. If you are the winning bidder you will need to send a certified check or money order in the amount of $500 within 48 hours of the auction's close with the remainder due in certified funds within 7 days of the end of the auction. You are welcome and encourged if possible to insepct the car in person during the auction. I regret having to sell this car, it's been a lot of fun, but I've lost my winter storage and it won't be long before the snow flies in Central New York. Happy bidding!

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.
Rolls-Royce Alpine Centenary Ghost makes its first North American appearance
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Rolls-Royce choose this year's Shanghai Motor Show as the occasion to show off its achingly cool Alpine Trial Centenary Edition Ghost, but The Quail was the site of the car's North American coming out party.
The one-off Rolls pays tribute to a heroic moment in the marque's history, when four 1913 Silver Ghosts, three factory cars and one privateer entry, successfully completed the 1,820-mile Austrian Alpine Trials. The privateer racer in question, James Radley, is the gentleman responsible for the pretty color combination you see on this new Ghost. Radley's blue bodywork over black wheels looked great in 1913 and haven't lost any luster 100 years on to our eyes.
You can revisit the details about this historically rooted Rolls-Royce in the press release below, or simply take a stroll through our fresh gallery of images from The Quail.
Rolls-Royce bestows Canton Glory Ghost upon Guangzhou
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Wonder why Rolls-Royce makes so many special editions for the Chinese market? Probably because China is fast becoming its largest market, with the dealerships in Beijing and Shanghai regularly proving able to move more high-end metal than any other Rolls dealer in the world. Little wonder then that, less than two months after releasing the Golden Sunbird edition, Rolls-Royce Bespoke is back again with another special Ghost just for China.
This time it's called the Canton Glory edition. It was introduced recently at Auto Guangzhou, and pays tribute to the Canton Tower in the same city. Two examples were made with a two-tone color scheme contrasting burgundy with either a blueish silver or white. Other features include Guangzhou's Five Rams emblem in the coachline, veneer panels, headrests and dashboard.
We don't doubt Rolls will find (or probably already has found) a pair of Chinese industrialists to gladly take these special editions home. But for those looking for their own unique touches, the British automaker has also brought its Bespoke Atelier to China for the first time, outlining the range of possibilities open to their moneyed customers.
