This is a VERY well kept and babied 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spur which is driven and garaged in Miami. It was originally purchased new from Braman Motors in Miami. It is painted in the rare and prestigous “Queens Colors” of Claret and Acrylic Garnet. Trim is A4178 Tan Hide with a Tan wool headliner. This is a great luxury and reliable driving vehicle for special outings as well as everyday use. The Everlast roof is clean and is a desired option on any classic Rolls. The “Flying Lady” on the front grill is gold in color and was a $1000 extra. The Spur is the extended version with wide rear doors for ease of entry and extra exceptional leg room with foot supports. Rear seats have lighted “make-up” mirrors surrounded by wood and wool and, of course, the signature fold down wood tables. Shinny S/S hub caps are in very good condition and the orbits are painted to match the body color. Comes with original owner's books. This car has been VERY well maintained and selectively driven. Over the 12 years I have owned and enjoyed this superb vehicle I have done the following to keep it up to date and performing as it knows best:

New Valve cover gaskets

New spark plug wires, cap and rotor

All filters

New Radiator, thermostat, water pump, and fan clutch

All new RR fan belts

New A/C compressor and drier

New front struts

New Compliance Bushing

New shock absorbers

Professionally rebuild original steering Rack

New brake pads front and rear

Professionally rebuilt original alternator

New battery

Recent whitewall tires 4 Goodyear Eagle GA P235/70R15

Wired for XM satellite radio

LoJack installed

Vehicle has 131,000 original miles. All wood is in great condition, with some cracking on the clear finish as would be expected. Have the Lamb’s wool mats to go with it. This vehicle runs and drives as it should. It comes with some tools and a complete bulb kit. Have all owner’s books and most service records. My hope is that someone who will appreciate this fine vehicle as much as I have and will be the next person to continue the joy.

BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.

Rolls-Royce Landspeed Collection honors record-breaking pioneer

Fri, Jun 25 2021

The Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe and Dawn convertible might not be long for our market, but that doesn't mean they're being wholly ignored by their maker. In fact, Rolls-Royce just announced a new limited edition of the stylish pair: the Landspeed Collection. The Landspeed Collection cars honor 1930s speed record-holder Captain George Eyston, who achieved three land speed records, culminating in a run at 357.497 mph in 1938 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Rolls-Royce connection is that Eyston's car, the Thunderbolt, was powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce V12 aero engines. Each displaced 37 liters and produced more than 2,000 horsepower. Unlike the Thunderbolt, the Wraith and Dawn are powered by a single V12 engine, and its output is unchanged from stock. Nor do the Landspeed Collection Wraith and Dawn adopt the record-setting car's triple axles, eight wheels, and large triangular tailfin. More's the pity. Instead, the models are based on the Wraith and Dawn Black Badge. They're painted a two-tone Black Diamond Metallic and Bonneville Blue (a light silver-blue that's specific to this model). Among the unique details: dashboard engraving that mimics the fissured texture of the salt flats, an image of the Thunderbolt's silhouette embossed on the front tunnel, and a special clock that adopts some of the markings of the Thunderbolt. The Starlight Headliner is said to exactly match the night-sky appearance on the date when the final Thunderbolt speed record was set. Rolls-Royce will build 35 examples of the Wraith coupe and just 25 of the Dawn convertible. But even if you're as speedy as Captain George Eyston himself, you won't be quick enough to grab one — they're already sold out.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight is opulence par excellence

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Rolls-Royce never tires of putting out limited-edition versions of the company's plush models as a way to show off what its Bespoke team is capable of. The latest in a long line of ritzy Rolls is the new Phantom Limelight Collection, which takes inspiration from the theatrical stage. The luxurious sedan was technically unveiled at the recent Shanghai Motor Show, but detailed images and more info about the custom four-door was just released. Limited to 25 cars worldwide, the Limelight Collection marks the debut of Rolls' latest rear seats, and they are about as lavish as you would expect. The chair backs can recline up to 27 degrees, and a calf rest comes up a further 68 degrees to fully support wealthy passengers. There's also a power footrest hidden in the floor. Beyond the swanky seats, the Limelight also packs a dressers-worth of storage in the doors. Offered in both Ladies' or Gentleman's versions, they include custom places to store perfume, watches and jewelry. The rest of the interior is also available in two schemes that are dominated by either Seashell leather with Navy Blue as a contrast or vice-versa. To complete the theme, the exterior is painted in a shade called Gala Blue, and there's a Seashell and navy stripe painted down the side. Like the rest of Rolls' special cars, the Limelight amounts to some seriously upscale trim on an already high-class vehicle, but there's little doubt the company can sell all 25 of them.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Limelight Collection has been conceived for that select group of people who spend their lives in the public eye and on the world stage. Its name was inspired by the origin of a British invention which became synonymous with fame. The limelight effect was originally discovered in the 1820s by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, a prototypical British gentleman scientist and inventor of the Victorian era. It was harnessed to revolutionise illumination in the theatres of London's Covent Garden, highlighting leading actors on the stage, thus leading to the phrase, 'in the limelight'.
