Low 1,700 Miles!! Literally Like New. Truly The Best Example In The World! on 2040-cars
Barrington, Illinois, United States
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit
original 1,700 miles
1987
Museum quality
Never before did the saying "looks like it just came off the factory floor" sound so true. This is the closest thing to buying a “new” Silver Spirit today! Presenting this unbelievable (but real) Rolls-Royce Silver
Spirit with only 1,700 original miles. Finished in Dark Oyster (metallic
slate grey) with red fine lines and rich burgundy Connolly hides, matching
floor rugs and factory moutons. This would be, without any doubt, the VERY BEST
mid-80s Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit in the world. A bold but serious claim.
~~ Presenting as a totally original Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, this is a beautiful and very fine example that presents as a true 10 out of 10 Show car. It is without doubt to be considered the best example of its kind ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. It is a 1987 Rolls-Royce built "yesterday". Truly like brand new – not an easy claim to make these days. You could confidently drive this Spirit “as-is” to your next Rolls-Royce meet with the sole intention of winning first prize in its category. And you will - it is that good! ~~
This is by NOT, by means, a typical 1987 Silver Spirit and as such will command considerably more than top condition prices. Notwithstanding, reasonable offers will be considered.
Many additional photos are available at the following link. I recommend all interested buyers to review these to best appreciate the cars stunning condition. Take the time to look at all the close-up photos of the interior (the wood, leather, carpets and headlining are truly like new), bodywork, chrome and overall appearance. This Spirit is so “perfect”, it makes the photos look like original brochure pictures!
Interior so completely immaculate Switchgear virtually never touched Everything so clean (don't worry, we have the missing chrome finishing cap to the lower radio knob) The leather without even a scuff or mark The leather doesn't even have fold lines, yet still soft and supple Headliner material like brand new Click HERE to see 200+ additional photos! A note from RRMOTORSINC: ~~oo00oo~~

PLEASE read auction terms & conditions below BEFORE bidding ** This Rolls-Royce is part of a private collection. Although
licensed and bonded, I am not a main-stream retail car dealer or broker; I am a
professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and
knowledge of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars. I have a long standing
reputation being associated with the marque which I take seriously. I take
pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However,
auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the
winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You
cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions.
Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car
until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated
should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any
potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an
offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. Your bid can not be subject
to anything. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of
the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are
required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by
cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance. Full
payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle
is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form
an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not
received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction
without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received
and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such
deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested
party or re-list the vehicle at any time. To be clear, if you change your mind
for ANY reason and do not complete the transaction in the time-frame required,
you will forfeit your deposit. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements
on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full
responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost.
The
vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed,
written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with
reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and
accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are
not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be
responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects
herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. If any aspect of the
description contradicts what can be seen in the photos, then the photos shall

account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is
the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition
and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will
make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s
request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for
any repairs regardless of any written or oral statements about the vehicle.
Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU CONTEMPLATE DOING SO AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I am sorry if these terms seem harsh but there seem to be some very unrealistic buyers out there - fortunately, only few of these people exist but those that do can make life difficult, so it appears EVERYTHING needs to spelled out. Very simply put, this is an old car being offered for sale. It is not new and is subject to the perils of age. Further, Rolls-Royces are not without nuances, idiosyncrasies and they are renown for a host of design issues which can make them not inexpensive to maintain. This is well documented in many circles. You need to be a special and considerate type of purchaser to own a Rolls-Royce. Their down-side is part of the fun in owning them! As the old saying goes; "we love to hate them and hate to love them!" So, please respect the terms and conditions when you bid. ~~oo00oo~~ ~~ **Please note:
This Rolls-Royce is part of the collection of a dear friend of mine. As a
professional collector and experienced restorer, I have my own Rolls-Royce
dedicated workshop with qualified craftsmen on hand; The Park-Ward Motor
Museum. As a passionate collector of the marque I take great pride and pleasure
in passing on any of these great cars to its next owner (“caretaker”). In so
doing, once this Rolls-Royce is sold, I will put the car thru my workshop to
ensure that it is mechanically sound and all major features and functions are
operating as described even though the car is contractually being sold
"as-is". Certain items such as final electrical tests and hydraulic
pressure checks are usually left for this stage as these are considered
"commissioning procedures". In this case, this will include the air
conditioning system of this car. This and considerable other work will be
performed after the sale and before delivery. This is all done at NO CHARGE.
Who else selling a Rolls-Royce on eBay does this?! Depending on our work load,
please allow approximately 7-10 business days for this procedure. For more
information on the Park-Ward Motor Museum and our skills, please eBay message
me and I would be happy to show you some 100 Rolls-Royces restored to varying
levels over the last few years ~~
Rolls-Royce values vary wildly, entirely dependent on their condition. There are, of course, other aspects that add or subtract from their values – Long Wheel Base versus regular, the year which dictated certain technical changes, etc. The colour alone, for example can make a big difference. And, in the case of this darling example, its unbelievable low mileage. So for the benefit of new-comers to the marque please see the approximate guide to values based on a particular model below. Please remember, these are “plus-or-minus” figures:
Year: 1986-1989 Model: Silver Sprit Show car: $50,000+ Exceptional: $25-45,000 Excellent: $20-25,000 Good: $16-20,000 Average: $12-16,000 Fair: $6-12,000 Basket case: < $6,000

Rolls-Royce teases Wraith debut in Geneva
Fri, 18 Jan 2013Rolls-Royce is headed to the 2013 Geneva Motor Show with a new addition to its lineup: the Wraith. The ultra-luxury automaker says it plans to start deliveries by the fourth quarter of this year, though details are scarce at the moment. The automaker has contented itself with saying the Wraith will the "most dynamic, powerful and beautiful Rolls-Royce in the company's history." We hear it will be the most modest, too.
Rolls-Royce first began using the Wraith nameplate in 1938. The original car used a tweaked version of the 4.3-liter inline six-cylinder found in the company's 25/30, but its real claim to fame came from the fact that it boasted speed-variable hydraulic dampers. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 85 miles per hour, Rolls-Royce only built 492 examples of the vehicle's chassis.
You can look for the new Wraith to bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March. In the interim, check out the shockingly bare press release below and get ready for a spate of teasers to follow.
eBay Find of the Day: Andy Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Sun, 25 May 2014Andy Warhol is one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th Century. With hits like his famous Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits, he is likely the first name you think of in association with the pop art movement. He isn't known for being an auto enthusiast, though, but maybe that's not entirely the case - there was his BMW M1 art car, after all. Now, Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is up for auction on eBay Motors.
According the seller, Warhol never had a driver's license, but he still wanted to own a luxurious car. It's claimed that he occasionally had his famous friends, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, chauffeur him around in the Rolls. Following Warhol's death in 1987, the car was auctioned for $77,000, and since then it has only been sold to one additional owner.
The Rolls is painted Walnut and Mason's Black, which appears closer to a shade of brown in these photos, with a black leather interior. The engine is the company's' popular 6.75-liter V8 with a three-speed automatic transmission, and there are just 56,000 miles on this luxurious classic. The seller is including copies of original purchase order from Rolls-Royce and the title to Warhol Enterprises to prove the famous artist's ownership of the car, plus all of its service records.
Ghost Coupe to be fastest Rolls-Royce ever
Sun, 05 Aug 2012Autocar has snapped spy shots of a Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupe, and judging from proportions the car will be so long in front and raked in back that it would make Dick Tracy whistle. We'll get the true story on that at next year's Geneva Motor Show, which is when Autocar says it's due to be revealed, but what's less in question is this: with a 6.6-liter, 600-horsepower V12 and a tauter ride it will be the fastest Rolls-Royce ever.
Weight is estimated to drop by 200 kg compared to its sedan sibling, and its roofline to drop by up to nearly three inches. If the horsepower numbers are correct the shorter and lighter Ghost coupe, with a 69-hp bump over the sedan, will assuredly deliver the "considerably brisker" acceleration promised. Helping matters will be the lowered chassis, larger tires, "mildly sports-orientated" brakes and a suspension tuned to be more aggressive but delivering just as much waftability.
Although it's being called the Ghost Coupe for now, insiders have suggested to the magazine that that it will get its own, bespoke, name, with pricing above the standard sedan but below the extended-wheelbase sedan.
