Rolls-royce Flying Spur #14 Of 50 For U.s. Market on 2040-cars
Costa Mesa, California, United States
|
Rare opportunity to acquire a limited edition Rolls-Royce Flying Spur. Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1994, this was the first Rolls-Royce to be fitted with a light pressure turbo which increased it from 230 bhp to approximately 360 bhp, and gave it a staggering 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds. There were just 50 of these built for the U.S. market, and all for the 1995 model year. Finished in Mason's black with black hide and St. James' red piping. Black carpets are also trimmed in St. James' red hide.
Delivered new in Newport Beach, CA to the owner of a well-known supermarket chain, the motor car covered approximately 68,000 miles during his 6 year ownership. The story has it that he was chauffeured between store locations throughout Southern California. The last owner covered a further 7,000 miles during his thirteen years of ownership. The most recent service records show that: At 71,000 miles: Authorized dealership performed routine service: - lube, oil, and filter - rear brake pads replaced - rear accumulator valve replaced - compliance mount replaced. At 73,000 miles: Authorized dealership performed routine service: - lube, oil, and filter - all accumulator return hoses replaced - hydraulic system bled. Cosmetically, there is some shrinkage on the rear parcel shelf as you can see in the photograph. This can be re-covered with matching hide for approximately $280. As the local trimmer is on vacation, I have not been able to get this done prior to listing the car for sale. The motor car is offered with all factory books, spare key, jacks, full size spare wheel, etc. (nothing missing). The car is sold As-Is with no warranty expressed or implied. A copy of the California Emissions PASS certificate is included from April 29, 2014. Please call or email for more photos. I can be reached at (949) 629 - 8177 or eveandroger@sbcglobal.net with any questions. Roger |

Rolls-Royce Ghost gets minor updates for 2013
Thu, 01 Nov 2012Befitting a creature called the Ghost, it was there and then it wasn't: Rolls-Royce dropped a few details and a picture of the 2013 Ghost, then removed all trace of it from the corporate site. The Internet can't keep a secret, though, so we have the goss on a carryover sedan with a few upgrades.
Next year's model takes its inspiration and several new tricks from the Ghost Six Senses concept revealed at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year. The new natural grain leather, cross-banded wood veneers and "exciter" (high-range) speakers come straight from the concept. A new alloy wheel option is also available, but the single press photo doesn't show the same alloys used on the Six Senses car. Not shown in Beijing but on the menu for the coming sedan is Comfort Access, the ability to open the trunk by waving your foot under the rear bumper as long as you have the key on your person. It is the first Rolls-Royce to get the option.
The price gets an upgrade, too, rising $7,050 to $260,750. Part of the increase is in the gas-guzzler tax, which climbed to $2,100 from $1,700 because of a new EPA calculations for fuel economy. As if you'd be worried about gas when you own a Ghost, but just in case, it will return 13 miles per gallon city and 21 mpg highway.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
2015 Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II [w/video]
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Rolls-Royce Director of Global Communications Richard Carter tells me that his storied employer is "a company that does not chase volume." In a perfect world, mused Carter, the carmaker would sell "one less" of its ultra-luxury vehicles than the fast-expanding world market demands.
And, thanks in no small part to the unprecedented success of the Series I Rolls-Royce Ghost that launched in 2010, the Brit brand seems well positioned to strike that perfect balance between exclusivity and record profits. In 2003 (the year in which the first BMW-backed Rolls rolled off the line in West Sussex), the company managed to sell around 500 cars. This year, with the first run of already-back-ordered Ghost Series II models still weeks away from delivery, the marque will top 4,000 units for the first time in its history.
Considering that each one of those "units" - a somewhat unsatisfying term for motor car this special - will gross Rolls-Royce $300,000 if we're being very conservative, you'll quickly see that creating a very desirable product for one of the best brands in the world negates the need to chase volume. The rich and free-spending are chasing this Ghost, instead.
