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.

2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith is everything you need, everything you don't [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

It's not often that we get to talk about a new Rolls-Royce, what with the fact that the company's current model line is basically made up of two vehicles. But that all changes here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, with the introduction of what might be the most emotional Roller of modern times, the Wraith.
The new two-door Rolls is effectively a Ghost coupe, and it stands to reason that this is Royce's answer to the Bentley Continental GT, albeit at a higher price point. Much higher, actually - the 245,000-euro - $320k USD - price of entry for the Wraith is about $100,000 more than a Continental GT Speed coupe. Woof. And to our eyes, all that extra money isn't buying you much in the looks department, as the collective opinion of the Autoblog editors on-site in Geneva is that it's more imposing than elegant.
But the Wraith will no doubt be a special, exclusive, impressive machine for anyone who plunks down that sort of cash. For starters, it's powered by a V12 that puts out an impressive 624 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque mated to an eight-speed ZF "Satellite Aided" transmission. This nifty cog-swapper actually works with GPS to not only pre-select the right gear for the portion of road you're on, but for the next portion of you'll be driving on, as well. That, friends, is cool.

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.

Former Princess Diana Rolls-Royce being auctioned for charity [w/video]

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

While it isn't that uncommon to see cars belonging to celebrities and dignitaries roll across the auction block these days, this car is a little extra special. This particular 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the car that Prince Charles and Princess Diana arrived at the White House in during a visit in 1985. As some added trivia, this was also the visit where Princess Di cut a rug with none other than John Travolta.
Volo Auto Museum will be auctioning off this piece of American and British history on November 9th - exactly 27 years from Princess Di's White House visit. According to the auction listing, this armored Silver Shadow was the official car of the UK's embassy, and it has been valued at around $2 million by the Berman Museum of History. The auction will have no reserve with some of the proceeds going to the Children with Cancer UK charity that Princess Diana started in 1988.
Scroll down for more information about this car and its auction as well as a video showing Prince Charles and Princess Diana arriving at the White House in the car back in 1985.
