1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow on 2040-cars
Norwalk, Connecticut, United States
Rarely do Silver Shadows as original and as well cared for as
this one come on the market. This gorgeous car has just 56,000 original miles
and has been beautifully maintained its entire life. As evidence of that there
are copious receipts for the tens of thousands of dollars that have been lavished on it
over the years. For many years this car was owned and displayed by the esteemed Rolls
Royce Foundation in their museum as a quintessential example of the Silver
Shadow model. Finished in Brewster Green
with Parchment Connolly leather the body is razor straight. It has had a
documented repaint to the highest standard and still shows beautifully. This
car has absolutely no rust and to our knowledge has never suffered any damage whatsoever. The interior is 100% original and gorgeous. The leather
shows the patina of gentle use over these last 46, years. The woodwork is also
original and shows the typical , subtle aging of the clear coat. Carpets are
mint, headliner excellent… overall a really lovely interior. The engine compartment shows well and is all original, as is
the trunk area. The underside has never been detailed, rather it is original but
very tidy. Full disclosure: there is an issue with the car which is the
result of a design flaw at Rolls Royce back in the 1960’s. It was very common
for the cam bearings to wear prematurely, and that is the case with this car.
It runs perfectly well as is, but there is a slight noise from these
chronically worn bearings. Because of this issue we have placed what we feel is
a very fair reserve on the car.
We have been in the business of selling European car for 27
years and our reputation for quality
cars is unmatched. ( deGarmoLtd.com ) Please feel free to call with any
questions 203.852.1670. The car is located in Connecticut and it available for
inspection by appointment. Matt deGarmo |

Rolls-Royce considering carbon coachbuilding?
Wed, 25 Sep 2013There's any number of applications in which you might expect to find carbon fiber on an automobile, but a Rolls-Royce is not one of them. That could change in the near future, however, as the super-luxe auto marque is reportedly looking into using the lightweight material on a range of special models.
The idea, according to Edmunds, would be to rebody certain models in carbon fiber as a sort of in-house coachbuilding operation for discerning customers looking for something a little different from what the neighbors in the next mansion or ivory tower over have in their gold-paved driveway. While the carbon-fiber bodywork might help shave off some of the weight from a range of cars that tip the scales at 5,500 pounds or more, the principal notion here is exclusivity.
The business case for these bespoke automobiles apparently stems out of two developments. For one, the vast majority - over 90 percent - of Rolls-Royce customers opt for some manner of customization or another. For another, parent company BMW has been working hard to reduce the cost of carbon-fiber production in particular for the new i3, and that expertise could turn these premium-priced creations a greater cash cow for Rolls-Royce than the development of a sport-utility vehicle ever could.
Rolls-Royce debuts Phantom Drophead Coupe Waterspeed Collection
Tue, 13 May 2014For the next act in its Bespoke Collection, Rolls-Royce has found one of its own to celebrate with the Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed Collection, noting the achievements of British land and water record-holder Sir Malcolm Campbell. Like a few other racers of his era in the 1920s and 1930s, Campbell used his Bluebird Motor Company and Bluebird Garage to fund his interest in motorsports. He would break the waterspeed record in 1937 in his Bluebird K3 powered by a Rolls-Royce R engine, traveling 126.33 miles per hour on Italy's Lake Maggiore.
We've seen sketches of what Rolls-Royce intended with the Waterspeed Collection, and the real thing is just as handsome, and the new model includes a number of firsts for the marque. The Maggiore Blue exterior paint is also used for highlights on the engine, the polished wheels, two-tone steering wheel and the dashboard. The tonneau cover normally finished in teak is instead done in hand-finished brushed steel, a closer contrast to the Windchill Grey interior. The Abachi wood veneers have also been bookmatched so that their grain evokes the wake of a speeding boat.
The droptop will be shown first at the Bluebird Garage Cafe in London on the site of the original garage, after which it will get its first wider showing at the Concorso D'Eleganza at Villa D'Este later this month. The press release below has a lot more detail on the finer detailing of the Drophead Coupe Waterspeed, and the images above are worth at least 8,000 words.
Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe does some performance testing at N"urburgring
Wed, 10 Oct 2012While 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.
