1980 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith II Superb Low Mileage 3 Owner Car in Exceptional Condition This is a superb example of the last production year of the legendary Rolls Royce Silver Shadow & Wraith series. All the problems had been sorted out and the best of the series development was included in this year. This is not a fuel injected car so you are ahead of the game! I can tell you that this car seems like it drives just like new. It is truly exceptional and shows that it is a 28,000 original mile car. Every aspect of the car is wonderful. You would need to have the entire Rolls Royce experience of driving and inspecting it to understand why we are pricing this car above most of the other Rolls you typically see on ebay. My feedback for all the cars I have sold is exceptional and can feel secure that the description I am providing is accurate. We have a lot of documentation for this car. The COMPLETE Owners Book and Documents are provided along with the original ordering sheets, trucking pickup from the factory by Brown Jenks and delivery & inspection information. There are also lots of receipts but none covering the first the years 1984 to 1997 (we suspect the car was serviced properly by the same wealthy owner during that time). The car was delivered new to Universal Motor Company in Honolulu, HI. The certificate of origin is dated April 30, 1981. The car was first sold to Paradise Palms Vacation Club on Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu. The early inspection and delivery repairs were done at Universal Motors. In January through April 1982 the car lived in Stateline, NV and we have receipts showing that the car was in Reno, NV and Modern Classic Motors of Reno performed warranty service work. On May 20, 1982 the car's warranty was transferred to Effie Marie Cain of Dallas, TX who appears to be the wife of R. Wolford Cain the co-founder of Southern Union Company. We have receipts showing Mrs. Cain's as the owner up to August of 1983. We have no records between 1983 and 1998 however we are fairly certain Mrs. Cain owned the car the entire time. A collector in Dallas purchased the car in December 1998 and owned the car until I purchased it November of 2012. We have extensive repair records since 1998. After we purchased the car we had Ronny's Garage in Santa Ana, CA go over the car. Ronny is a very well known Rolls Royce mechanic and is highly regarded in Rolls Royce Owners Club circles. Ronny inspected the car and found it to be excellent. He rebuilt the accumulators, serviced the air conditioning, fixed the cruise control and repaired a number of other small items. Since then the rear shock absorber upper strut rubber mounting piece has failed so there is an occasional knocking of it when going over large bumps. Exterior The exterior was repainted at some time to exceptionally high standards. The paint finish is outstanding and I had the entire car color sanded and deep polished when I acquired it. The Everflex top is essentially perfect and absolutely beautiful. I don't see any evidence of rust under the top but invite a professional inspection. All chrome & stainless is spectacular. All glass and glass sealing pieces are near perfect. Truly the exterior is this car is just outstanding. Click on any exterior photo below and the very large original photo will be loaded. You can then zoom in to see the car in detail. Interior The interior is overall in superior condition. All leather seating is excellent. Door panel & dash leather is also excellent. Carpeting is in near perfect condition as are the soft wool floor overlays. Headliner is in essentially perfect condition. The wood is overall superior but does have some cracks that you can see in our photos. All lights & gauges work properly as do all window lifts and the door lock system. The combination of dark blue hides & carpet with the wood is simply spectacular! The interior has no musty spell and is just of fresh leather and wool....luxurious to the senses! Click on any interior photo below and the very large original photo will be loaded. You can then zoom in to see the car in detail. Mechanical The mechanics of the car have been fully reviewed and are in excellent condition and work properly. As with any 33 year old car it is advised that you have your own inspection performed. I did one just a year ago and am perfectly satisfied that the car is in superior roadworthy condition. Conclusion This is the 5th Rolls Royce I have owned. Prior to this I has a 1979 Shadow, 1976 Wraith, 1976 Camargue and a 1965 Phantom V. This is absolutely the nicest driving Rolls Royce I have ever owned. The low mileage, superb mechanical & cosmetic condition all supported by just 29,000 miles with obvious excellent servicing since new makes this an ideal choice for any Rolls enthusiast or collector. The clear Montana title is in my name and the car is currently in Orange County, CA. Please do not request to come see the car unless you are a very serious purchaser.

Watch this Rolls-Royce Phantom get grassy knees
Mon, 17 Dec 2012Here's a pro tip: if you're going to fire your chauffeur, make sure he hands over the keys to your Rolls-Royce Phantom first. If you don't, you just might wind up with scene like the one in the video below on your hands. In it, some sprightly soul decides to eschew the beaten path for a quick frolicking over hill and dale in the luxury leviathan. The grounds will never be the same. Grass, mud and water are all sent scattering as the Rolls-Royce proceeds to pound the earth into submission.
There's also a few smoky burnouts thrown in for good measure. We can appreciate any shenanigans with a high-dollar automobile that don't end in wrinkled sheetmetal. You can check out the full glory of the sideways Phantom in the video below.
Muhammad Ali's 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is going for auction
Sun, Sep 16 2018Boxing fans and Rolls-Royce fans, get your wallets ready. A very special car is going to cross the Bonhams auction block this October. It's a 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward convertible that was owned by none other than Muhammad Ali, the boxer that ended George Foreman's undefeated streak. Bonhams reports that the car was owned by Ali for 6 years, meaning Ali must've enjoyed this car and used it quite a bit. The company postulates that since Ali bought the car in 1970, it may have been a celebratory purchase, since that was the first year Ali could box again after a five-year ban from the sport for being a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War. The car itself has a number of notable features. For one thing, Bonhams says the car is completely unrestored, and is in quite good condition as such. It also is apparently one of just 272 Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Wards that were built with left-hand drive. It ended up in Holland after Ali's tenure with it, which is partly why it will go for auction at a Bonhams auction in Belgium. Also interesting is that this is a celebrity car – a nice one, too – that is in the realm of affordability. Bonhams estimates it could sell for between $47,000 and $70,000. The low end of that price is actually a couple grand less than Hagerty's estimate of $49,200 for a concours-ready example without celebrity history. And even at the high end, you'll still be paying way less for this than, say, a new Rolls-Royce Ghost. So if you can get yourself to Holland and have the means to buy and ship the car, this could be a way to get a great celebrity car for not a massive amount of money.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
