 Up for auction is a 1974 Rolls Royce Silvershadow in running condition. This car belongs to a friend of mine who bought the car in 2009 just as a toy to drive around in parades. He bought another Rolls and this one was moved outside to where a tree branch fell on the car and made a little dent on the drivers rear fender and a scratch on the hood as you can see in the pictures. I started storing the car last year for him and it has been sitting in my garage since then. He has finally decided that he has too many cars so he asked me to go ahead and sell this one. The car has always started right up when I have needed to move it, it moves freely. I have only driven it around my neighborhood, I have never had it out on the interstate but it rides well. He had the brakes done shortly before I began storing it, they seem to work fine. I do not know alot about these cars so I tried to take enough pictures so that you can see the condition of the car. As I said, the car starts right up and the transmission engages properly without any issues. I have noticed recently that when you start the car there is blue oil smoke from the exhaust.  I believe this is being caused by oil getting into the combustion chambers because the valve guides have gotten dry due to the car siting  so much and not being run. I also believe that if you took the car and drove it for awhile this problem would clear up. It doesn't leak water or overheat, a couple of the power windows don't work, could be a switch, I don't know. The drivers window works, that really is the only one I have had down. My friend had a CD player put in but he can't find the detachable face plate. There are some cosmetic issues with trim pieces,and the kick panels will need some attention, but overall the car is in pretty good shape for a nearly 40 year old vehicle. The obvious advantage is that the car is drivable and my friend has put a very reasonable reserve on the car. Hopefully you can see from the pictures that the interior and door panels are still in very good condition and the head liner is intact. If you have any further questions I will do my best to answer them. The car is being sold "as is" without any type of warranty being implied or stated due to the age of the car. If you are within 100 miles of my zip code, 30043, I will put the car on a trailer and deliver it for free. If you need the car delivered to a shipper, I will be glad to do that but you must make all the arrangements and the vehicle must be paid for before it will be delivered or dropped off. I will do a $500 non-refundable deposit. Thanks for looking.

Rolls-Royce confirms Wraith convertible for 2015

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Until a few years ago, the Rolls-Royce product portfolio revolved around one model line, and that was the Phantom. But with the launch of the Ghost in 2010, the Goodwood-based automaker is expanding further. As with the Phantom line, a long-wheelbase Ghost ensued, followed by a coupe in the form of the Wraith. And now, as might have been expected, Rolls-Royce has reportedly confirmed development of a new convertible based on the same platform.
The new cabrio will be based closely on the Wraith, only with a convertible roof. Expect the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 that powers the Wraith to carry over with the same 624-horsepower output - the highest of any production Rolls-Royce - but with a bit more weight to push, the convertible ought to be a bit more sluggish off the line than the Wraith's 4.4-second 0-60 time.
We can also expect a higher sticker price, but closer to the Wraith's $320,000 MSRP than the Phantom Drophead Coupe's $470k. Whether Rolls opts to call it the Wraith DHC or use another nameplate entirely remains to be seen, but Autocar reports that the new Rolls cabrio won't arrive until 2015, so we've got a little while to go.

2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Road Test | Aboard the HMS Cullinan

Thu, Aug 20 2020

A tenet of good writing says you can’t modify a superlative. “Very best” gilds the lily, and “one of the best” is a hedge. Best is all you need say. ThatÂ’s the spirit of the phrase “the Rolls-Royce of Â…,” which gets applied to any kind of thing, say a particularly nice vacuum cleaner. It's immediately understood — “Rolls-Royce” is all you need say. So itÂ’s a special occasion when the pinnacle of automotive excellence, and the symbol of supremacy in everything wrought by human hands, heaves to in oneÂ’s driveway. The Rolls in this case was the 2020 Roll-Royce Cullinan, the most expensive SUV in the world, this one costing $394,275. This Cullinan arrived in lustrous Jubilee Silver (a big improvement over the purple one our contributor Jason Harper drove a few months ago). The car appeared to be carved from a silver ingot. Our first-drive review back in 2018 called the three-ton Cullinan a monolith, and thatÂ’s spot-on. It looks imposing and not to be trifled with, like a British warship. And in fact this car was built to a nautical theme, with a two-tone interior of Charles Blue / Navy Blue. A hand-painted coachline of Charles Blue traced its gunwales. Cullinan even sounds a bit like a British warship (they have the best names). But its namesake is the 3,100-karat Cullinan diamond, the largest ever discovered, chunks of which are part of the Crown Jewels. The car is an enduring symbol of British Empire, though with a lot of German parts. What can one say? We drive a lot of expensive cars at Autoblog, but it's a bit hard to understand why there even is such a thing as a Rolls-Royce press vehicle. What sort of information could a critic impart? Do you expect to hear it wasnÂ’t nice? Well, it was. Was the V12 not smooth? Like English cream. Was it not comfortable? Its cabin was expansive and its seats accommodating, and its ride was every bit the “magic carpet” Rolls promises, with sensors alerting the air suspension of upcoming unpleasantries in the road surface. And like a magic carpet, the system settles the car back down to earth for a gentle landing when youÂ’ve arrived. Yet the self-righting wheel centers make it appear as if you'd never left. And who would benefit from criticisms, if there were any? Few reading this have the means, but those who do would likely choose something more anonymous for real-world use, such as a top-trim Range Rover. Even a Bentley Bentayga would be less expensive, if only slightly less attention-getting.

Rolls-Royce Wraith officially revealed in profile

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Well here's a nice twofer. On the same day Rolls-Royce releases its first official teaser image showing the 2014 Wraith, we also get a look at the car undergoing some cold-weather testing courtesy of some new spy shots. As the coupe version of the Ghost, the 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith will make its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, and it's expected to go on sale during the fourth quarter of this year.
Rolls-Royce already confirmed plenty of information in a teaser it released last week, but the latest image shows us a clear shot of what the car's midsection will look like. Comparing this image and the spy shots, we can see that the Wraith will have a pretty sleek - (almost Bentley Continental GT-like) roofline, and, like the Phantom Coupe, it will have rear-hinged doors. We can also tell from the spy shots that it seems to be keeping the same face as the Ghost and taillights, too.
Be sure to check out the latest spy photos for the Wraith as well as a brief press release from Rolls-Royce by scrolling below.
