1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

(Long Wheel Base)

Conveniently located in Chicago's WEST Suburbs !!!

NO RESERVE !!!

Happy New Years !!! I will be liquidating several classic Rolls Royce & Bentleys over the next few weeks, I've decided it's more logical to have a nice late model car (Rolls/Bentley), then a dozen classics. Although I will ALWAYS admire the classic styles and elegance these cars offer, I'd like to get a newer Bentley Arnage or Flying Spur. Dealers are encouraged to contact me.

I've added this car most recently to my collection, it was offered to me by a close friend who has been selling Rolls & Bentleys for 45+ years. He sold the car to a doctor in 1986, I'd assume the doctor used it regularly up to 1991. In 1991 the car was at "Albers Rolls Royce", now "Bentley of Zionsville" for service and as a record of that. From 1991 to NOW the car has had less than 1,000 miles added. Yes... Sitting is NOT good for these high profile cars. A new battery was installed and it started. Later, a pair of floats were added as the originals had sank in the carbs. It was then flat bedded to a well known Chicagoland Rolls Royce facility in Cary, Illinois where the oil and filter where changed, a leaky break line was replaced, and brake pump # 1 was rebuilt. I had the car returned home and was able to ride it around the neighborhood a little bit, it has since then popped another brake line (left rear wheel). I've cleaned the car up and simply decided to sell it "as is" as I'm a little overwhelmed with many things at the moment. Every car has a story & now that you know this cars story, I welcome any calls with further questions, I can be reached @ 847-826-2584.

Specifications:

Chassis #: LRE23314

Body: White, free of any major damage or scratches. Light/minor surface rust on rockers (area behind front wheels) & one very small chip in the paint on the left quarter panel. The paint would buff up very nice. I believe the car to have been painted (but over 25 years ago), but still looks sharp. To those that anticipate a pebble beach quality car for less then $10000, this isn't you're lucky day. It will tidy up nicely & NOT require a repaint.

Interior: Navy Blue. Still has a nice color to it and minimal wear. Still has a distinct rich smell of high quality leather. The wood is very nice too, drivers door has a few minor cracks. Carpet & headliner in above average condition. The ever flex top remains in good condition.

***The car is currently leaking brake fluid, it cannot be driven. Therefore it must be transported (I can assist with Chicago area). If you're out of state or even further, I'd suggest getting a shipping quote prior to bidding or connect with my Rolls technician to at least get the leak taken care of. I'm listing it cheap and as I said before I'm letting go of almost a dozen Rolls/Bentleys to help acquire a late model Bentley. This Rolls Royce (LRE23314) is sold "as is".***

No reserve !!! This car will sell to the highest bidder !!!

Thanks,

Jason (847)826-2584

Please ask for detailed pictures of areas or even better, come see it.

I reserve the right to end this auction early. I have advertised the car elsewhere. I will sell and resist another immediately.

BMW sold 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles in 2018

Tue, Jan 8 2019

FRANKFURT — German carmaker BMW on Tuesday said it achieved record sales of 2.49 million BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce vehicles last year. "BMW Group achieved record sales in 2018. 2.49 million vehicles mean the BMW Group is the world's leading premium automotive company for the 15th year running," Chief Executive Harald Krueger said. In 2017, BMW Group sold 2.46 million vehicles. Daimler has not yet released annual sales figures for Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, so it remains unclear whether BMW brand overtook Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales in 2018. Sales of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce cars were higher than Mercedes-Benz in 2017.

BMW chooses Tesla's Supercharger network for its future EVs

Wed, Oct 18 2023

BMW, following the lead of many other automakers, has confirmed this week that it will adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS), delivering EV drivers in the U.S. and Canada access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. The move goes a step further in cementing NACS as the universal system of choice. The conversion to Tesla plugs will begin formally in 2025 for BMW, as well as its Mini and Rolls-Royce brands in the U.S. market. Those marques now use the Combined Charging System (CCS) for EV charging. Â“It is our top priority to ensure that our drivers have easy access to reliable, fast charging," said Sebastian Mackensen, President & CEO, BMW of North America. NACS, which began as began as TeslaÂ’s proprietary charging connection, rapidly has become the new standard in its native land after Ford announced it would adopt it this past summer. This was quickly followed by General Motors. Since then, brands including Rivian, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Polestar, and Jaguar have climbed d on board NACS. Earlier this month, the Hyundai Motor Group announced it would also provide customers with the NACS connector across its namesake, Kia, and Genesis marques. BMW says it will work across its three marques in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition to TeslaÂ’s charging network by early 2025, and owners will be able to pay for charging using their respective vehicle brandÂ’s own app. Related Video: How to charge a non-Tesla on a Supercharger

Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at N"urburgring

Wed, 10 Oct 2012

While all the gory details surrounding the new Rolls-Royce coupe - including its true name, "Corniche" is just a savory-sounding best guess right now - are still shrouded in mystery, this new set of clandestinely foraged images proves that the car probably won't be a slouch in terms of performance.
The Ghost-based Roller was spotted on the Nürburgring Nordschleife recently, demonstrating its sporting chops at the same time it was showing off it's impressive patrician nose. Expectations are that, when the new coupe is shown off for real at the Geneva Motor Show in March of next year, that nose will belong to the fastest production car to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Indications are that the Corniche will be rocking a turbocharged V12, making in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and using an eight-speed transmission.
