1980 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit - A Beautiful Example Of Rr Quality on 2040-cars
Deltona, Florida, United States
For sale is a 1980 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, European edition with right hand drive (RHD). The paint is glossy and shiny and the body is outstanding with no scratches, dents or dings; not even a door ding. The leather interior is in excellent condition with the usual wear on the driver's seat as shown in the pictures. No rips or tears. Comes with the optional foot rests in the back. Carpet on driver's side is showing some wear but has no holes. The carpet for the rest lf the car is in great condition. The headliner is perfect. Tires are good and the matching color full wheel covers are scratch free. Please look carefully at the pictures of the exterior- I can't stress enough how great this car looks. Chrome is not pitted or rusted. The air conditioning is ice cold, the power windows work without hesitation and the power side mirrors and power antennae work fine. This car floats down the highway and is in very good condition for being 33 years old. Car comes with four large binders containing complete service manuals for the Silver Spirit and it's sister model, the Silver Spur with the long wheel base.
I don't know anything about the history of this car as I bought it from a private seller who had owned it for a short time.
As previously stated, power seats, cruise control, power door locks and temperature gauge do not work. Wood trim on doors is starting to crack. Car smokes a bit when first started and then is fine for the rest of the day. Will need a tune-up and possibly carburetors rebuilt at some point |

Aeroboat packs 1,100 seahorses of Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 power
Wed, 21 May 2014We don't typically cover boats here - this is, after all, Autoblog and not Aquablog - but every so often something comes along that makes us want to dip our toes in the water, whether it's a Jaguar-designed speedboat, a Gulf-liveried megayacht or a Lamborghini-powered Riva Aquarama. This is another one of those occasions.
Set to be unveiled at the Salute to Style show in July at The Hurlingham Club in London, the Aeroboat is a motor yacht that seems to blend retro and furutistic lines in equal measure that would make Jules Verne proud without going Steampunk. Inspired by the Spitfire fighter plane, the Aeroboat packs aircraft-inspired switchgear and shock-mounted seats into a long, sleek form. But what really has our interests piqued is what lies beneath the stylish decks.
Each of the dozen Aeroboats to be built will pack a reconditioned, marinized, fuel-injected Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine - the same 27-liter powerplant that propelled the Spitfire. With 1,100 horsepower on tap, it's expected to propel the Aeroboat up to a top speed between 75 and 95 knots, or 86-109 miles per hour by landlubber standards, which is pretty damn fast on the open water.
Ugur Sahin returns with Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II design
Sat, 15 Dec 2012The "Round Door" Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (inset) is a magnificent black beast of a car (and you can see it at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a limited time) as well as a mystery: designed by the Jonckheere Works in Belgium in 1935, all records for the one-of-a-kind coupe were destroyed in World War II, so no one knows who designed it or who commissioned it. What remains of the original coachbuilding company now makes bodies for cars and buses, and has asked designer Ugur Sahin to reinterpret the most fabulous car from its history.
We've written about Sahin often before, recently about his Corvette-based Anandi being shown at Top Marques Monaco and going into production. For a man who favors long hoods and short bodies, this particular Rolls-Royce couldn't be better. Sahin says the word "Respect" guided his lines for the 77-year-old car, the most apparent changes being the front fender treatment, the headlights dropping into the fenders, and the serious downsizing of the fin at the rear. Sahin says that there are talks with potential investors about building a one-off.
You can find out a little more about it in the press release below, and check out the gallery above of high-res images for every angle.
Rolls-Royce posts 25% jump in sales thanks to Cullinan demand
Tue, Jan 7 2020Luxury carmaker Rolls-Royce said on Tuesday it recorded a 25% jump in sales in 2019, underpinned by solid demand for its first-ever SUV, Cullinan, just a year after the launch. The 116-year-old British company said it sold a record 5,152 cars in 2019, compared with 4,107 units in the prior year. "Worldwide demand last year for our Cullinan SUV has driven this success and is expected to stabilize in 2020," Chief Executive Officer Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes said in a statement. The Cullinan was unveiled in 2018. The BMW-owned brand's strong numbers serve as a breather at a time when the global automobile industry is still grappling with various challenges amid a broader economic slowdown that dented sales of many automakers. North America continued to be the biggest contributor with about a third of Rolls-Royce's total sales, followed by China and Europe. Related Video:
