1989 Rolls-royce Silver Spur 55k Miles. Nice Car. Ready To Be Driven And Enjoyed on 2040-cars
Fresno, California, United States
1989 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur.
Here is a nice Rolls that can be enjoyed. It runs and drives well, brakes well, has recently passed smog. The power seats/windows/mirrors/horn/courtesy lights and door locks work. All the gauges and dials work, and the warning/status-lights panel works correctly. The heating and air-conditioning also work. The original interior including the leather has held up very well, wood is overall very good...there is some laquer peeling on the drivers door and some light cracks in other areas (a common issue on all of these cars). It has it's original owner handbooks, there are a couple of dealer service stamps in it at around 25k miles, the car has a clean Carfax report with some dealer service notes at around 50k miles, otherwise we do not have any service history. However, I have had the pleasure of putting around 500 miles on the car over the last couple of months (mix of freeway and in-town driving) and would feel confident using the car regularly. The tires have around 80% tread left. The vinyl top/glass and trim is in good condition. The paint does not look original.....6-10ft quality. There is a parking lot ding on one door (see pics), otherwise just some small nicks/scratches from normal wear. The paint on the trunk does have some bird dropping stains and looks to have been buffed to try and get them out...so the paint is a little flat. However, the color of the car masks most of the imperfections. Having owned over a dozen Rolls/Bentleys over the years and being exposed to their strengths and weaknesses, I feel confident that this car will give good service to the next owner. **NOTE** - Due to multiple problems with non-paying zero/-ve feedback ebayers, we will only accept bids from zero or excessive -ve feedback ebayers after they have contacted us first. Otherwise, such bids will not be accepted. If you have any questions other than "what's the reserve/buy it now price", you are welcome to contact us through ebay or call my cell #559-801-8623. I will be available 10am-5pm Pacific/California time. The vehicle is sold as-is and as equipped. However, you are welcome to come see and/or have the car inspected before the end of the sale. Payment is due in full within seven days of the end of the auction. All California buyers and in-state sales/delivery are subject to sales tax, doc./smog/lic. fees.

Rolls-Royce to decide on SUV by year's end
Fri, Jan 9 2015The market for high-end luxury SUVs continues to climb, but Rolls-Royce is in no huge rush to jump on the leather-clad, high-riding bandwagon. The company has just announced a new sales record for the fifth year running, with over 4,000 units delivered in 2014. But it recognizes that SUVs are where the market is going, so it's going to carefully weigh its options, and make a decision on how to proceed by the end of 2015. This according to Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos in speaking with Auto Express. "There is not yet a final decision, because we still need to answer a couple of questions ourselves," said Muller-Otvos in regard to a potential SUV, admitting, "You need to move the brand from time to time, you need to go with the flow. We might even see in a few years that the classical sedan segments are shrinking due to the fact that SUV type vehicles are growing. So if you don't change your product portfolio to something that is up to date then at some point in time you might even die." If the storied Goodwood-based marque does proceed with an SUV, it would be following former sister-company Bentley into the segment. But they're not the only ones. Mercedes is said to be preparing a Maybach version of the next GL-Class, Jaguar Land Rover keeps making increasingly expensive and luxurious Range Rovers, and Maserati is preparing to launch its Levante crossover. The prospect of an SUV isn't the only project Rolls-Royce has in the works, though. It's got a convertible version of the Wraith coming soon, and sooner or later there will be a replacement for the thirteen-year-old Phantom saloon, potentially to include some carbon fiber in its construction to help trim weight. A hybrid powertrain could be in the mix as well, though customers have shunned the idea of a pure electric model. Just don't expect a Rolls-Royce more accessible than the Ghost: the company is glad to be growing its sales, but is not chasing any specific sales targets that would press it to cheapen the brand by going down-market.
Rolls-Royce's all-electric aircraft completes 15-minute maiden voyage
Sun, Sep 19 2021Rolls-Royce, best known in aviation for its jet engines, has taken an all-electric airplane on its maiden voyage. The "Spirit of Innovation" completed a 15 minute flight, marking "the beginning of an intensive flight-testing phase in which we will be collecting valuable performance data on the aircraft’s electrical power and propulsion system," the company announced. Rolls-Royce said the one-seat airplane has "the most power-dense battery pack every assembled for an aircraft." The aircraft uses a 6,000 cell battery pack with a three-motor powertrain that currently delivers 400kW (500-plus horsepower), and Rolls-Royce said the aircraft will eventually achieve speeds of over 300 MPH. This content is hosted by a third party.

Rolls-Royce is also developing an air taxi with manufacturer Tecnam, with the aim of delivering an "all-electric passenger aircraft for the commuter market," according to the companies. It has previously teamed with Siemens and Airbus on another e-plane concept. Aircraft companies have been exploring electric airplanes for a number of years, as air travel and cargo accounts for an increasing amount of greenhouse gases. The World Wildlife Foundation has called it "currently the most carbon intensive activity an individual can make." Weight is a much bigger problem for airplanes that it is for cars, however. Ford's all-electric Lightning pickup weighs 1,800 pounds more than the gas-powered model, and offers a range that's slightly under half. However, if you added 1,800 pounds to to a Cessna 206 Turbo Stationair, you'd exceed its useful load by 500 pounds before you even loaded passengers (or the pilot) — so it wouldn't even get off the ground. The project was half funded by the Aerospace Technology Institute and UK government, with the aim of eventually creating all-electric passenger planes. "This is not only about breaking a world record; the advanced battery and propulsion technology developed for this programme has exciting applications for the Urban Air Mobility market and can help make ‘jet zeroÂ’ a reality," said Rolls-Royce CEO Warren East.

Rolls-Royce could go electric, if battery tech advances
Thu, Sep 17 2015After toying with the idea a few year ago, Rolls-Royce isn't ready to completely give up on the idea of an electric model quite yet. Still, a hyper-luxurious EV from the opulent brand might not happen any time soon. "Suppose we find a battery technology that can offer ranges that are acceptable to our customers," brand boss Torsten Muller-Otvos said, according to Automotive News. "I can definitely imagine a fully electric Rolls-Royce." Muller-Otvos was clear that no final decision on an EV or even a much-rumored plug-in hybrid has been made yet. Rumors of an EV from the brand go back years. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Rolls-Royce showed that it wasn't completely against going electric. The 102EX concept (pictured above) was based on a Phantom but with two, 194-horsepower electric motors and a 71-kWh battery to power them. The company claimed the behemoth had an estimated range of 124 miles and could hit 60 miles per hour in under eight seconds. At least one journalist even got to drive it. However, the brand's wealthy customers reportedly weren't convinced, and the project was canned. In 2014, several reports began suggesting a plug-in hybrid Rolls under development that would answer concerns about range and charging time amongst the clientele. This powertrain could debut on the next-gen Phantom around 2017, and it's likely to be borrowed from parent company BMW.
