HISTORY:

A little about me - I am an adult car fanatic (NOT a dealer) that has owned many vehicles. My three-car heated garage is kept cleaner than a lot of homes I have been in. I am indeed fairly anal when it comes to my vehicles. I keep all records and related items to any car I own.
This vehicle has absolutely NO paintwork, NO accident history (or evidence), and carries a clean title which is in my possession. Carfax, Service records, and so forth are all available. This Rolls was treated with top-notch service and any and all issues were addressed in the past by a local Greenwich, CT dealership.

My reasoning for selling is our family has grown and I cannot use the car as much as I would like.

ENGINE:

The smooth and linear power made by this amazing V8 is flawless. No smoke, no leaks of any type, no strange noises, no weird smells.

BODY:

The classic Deep Blue Metallic is in wonderful condition. There is NO previous body work, no accidents, no stories. The paint shines and emits great luster.  No nasty scratches, etc. There are small oxidation spots by the rear door window, see photo. Vehicle has been stored in a heated garage, has never seen snow.  She has been hand washed and waxed religiously.

INTERIOR:

The sport grey
 leather smells of rich leather. The leather has been conditioned regularly using Lexol. The leather is in excellent condition and does NOT display any excessive wear appearance. The interior is sport grey with blue piping with multi exotic wood trim.  There are NO funky smells, no rips, no tears, no burns, no stains, no food articles, no pet hair, or other oddities in the interior. From a non-smoker home. Lastly, I NEVER use any shiny, greasy products on the interior to clean it, only low-luster (OEM) style cleaners or lotions
 
TIRES/WHEELS:

The wheels are in great condition. All 4 tires have been replaced at 30,006 miles (less than 4K on them).

BRAKES:

Perform flawlessly without any grunts, grinds, squeals, or thunks. Emergency brake pulls to spec.

TRANSMISSION:

The transmission runs and shifts smoothly.  No grunts, grinds, or sloppiness. The drivetrain is tight.

CONCLUSION:

This is an overall magnificent ROLLS ROYCE that I have thoroughly enjoyed. The vehicle is in outstanding condition and dressed in a not-so common color with rich interior appointments. The color combo is very rare
and as far as I am concerned by far THE BEST COLOR both outside & inside!
This amazing four-door sedan is close to the end of when ROLLS ROYCE was made by hand in England. The driving experience in this vehicle is bar-none, euphoric.  It’s solid, powerful, tight, and in-tune with the road.
 
PAYMENT & TERMS:
The successful high bidder will submit a $1,500 non-refundable deposit within 2 business days of the close of the auction to secure the vehicle. Buyer agrees to pay remaining balance due (plus applicable fees and taxes) within 7 days of the close of the auction. All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle. 
 
Purchase must be handled with cash (in person), certified check,  bank transfer, or 3rd-party financing. Financing (through your own resource) MUST be arranged by buyer BEFORE end of auction. Do NOT bid if you are not financially capable or approved of purchasing this vehicle. Vehicle will not depart the premise until complete payment (verified) is made and cleared.  The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.
 
As with all used cars, no warranties are expressed or implied but I can personally attest this vehicle is in top notch condition.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to arrange an in-person review. 
 
I reserve the right to end this listing anytime should the vehicle no longer be available for sale, due to local sale.
 

Thank you,

Jon

Rolls-Royce Alpine Centenary Ghost makes its first North American appearance

Sun, 18 Aug 2013

Rolls-Royce choose this year's Shanghai Motor Show as the occasion to show off its achingly cool Alpine Trial Centenary Edition Ghost, but The Quail was the site of the car's North American coming out party.
The one-off Rolls pays tribute to a heroic moment in the marque's history, when four 1913 Silver Ghosts, three factory cars and one privateer entry, successfully completed the 1,820-mile Austrian Alpine Trials. The privateer racer in question, James Radley, is the gentleman responsible for the pretty color combination you see on this new Ghost. Radley's blue bodywork over black wheels looked great in 1913 and haven't lost any luster 100 years on to our eyes.
You can revisit the details about this historically rooted Rolls-Royce in the press release below, or simply take a stroll through our fresh gallery of images from The Quail.

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. “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

Neglected Rolls-Royce Phantom may be the saddest of all time

Fri, 30 May 2014

Rolls-Royce prides itself on exemplifying the pinnacle of automotive elegance. The brand is synonymous with quality and luxury. However, in the end even a Rolls is still just a car, and if you don't keep it up, it's bound to fail. That deterioration can be seriously fun to watch, though.
This 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom might now be one of the worst cars on the planet and only has a little over 95,000 miles on it. The video claims that the original owner in New Jersey didn't make payments on the car for three years but rented the sedan out to people and used it for a livery service. Now, it's repossessed and would probably cost more to fix than it's worth.
This Phantom has had a hard life. We don't want to spoil too many of the broken pieces because they pile up to become increasingly absurd. However, the pièce de résistance must to be the broken Spider-Man umbrella in the door.
