1972 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. Chassis No. SRA13332. Sold new in 1972 for $25,215.00. Caribbean Blue 950/0683, Double White fine lines, Dark Blue VM-3209 Conolley Leather, Dark Blue Carpets and Grey wool broadcloth headlining. Original chassis/factory records, service and repair records for the last decade of our ownership. Personalized license plates "AVO" will not go with the car (It's portuguese for grandparent). My father bought the Rolls 12 years ago and he and I rebuilt or replaced all hydraulic components, rebuilt carbs, replaced fuel pump, replaced tires, replaced brakes (including all 23 flexible hoses). I have a large history file of receipts totaling thousands of dollars to bring the car to reliable daily driver status and a pleasurable touring automobile. 102,000 miles currently, it had 73 ,000 miles when he purchased it in 2001.
This is not a show car but, a comfortable and competent daily driver and touring car. Everything works including the cruise control and clock. The paint is entirely original and does show wear consistent with 41 years of use. My dad passed away in 2011 and I'm ready to sell now to invest in a earlier model Rolls Royce. There is one small rust area the size of a silver dollar at the base of the right fender just to the rear of the front wheel arch (Pictured), the small replacement panel is available for aprox $125.00. The remainder of the underbody is in great shape. The paint looks great as a 10footer but, should be redone if you want to take the car to the next level. I'm not mutch of a photographer but, have posted some initial photos taken with my daughters camera. If seriously interested, I can have better photos taken of any angle you'd like and send them to you. No warranty, sold as and where is.

Former Princess Diana Rolls-Royce being auctioned for charity [w/video]
Wed, 31 Oct 2012While 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.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Rolls-Royce readying Wraith convertible
Thu, 08 May 2014For seven years, Rolls-Royce got by on the Phantom line alone, expanding on the original saloon with a long-wheelbase version, a coupe and the convertible. But now that the Ghost is part of the family, Goodwood seems to be following a similar expansion.
What started with the Ghost sedan has since been joined by the extended-wheelbase model and the Wraith fastback coupe. And now we're receiving spy shots of a Wraith-based convertible undergoing testing.
Potentially to be called the Wraith Drophead Coupe like its larger Phantom-based counterpart, the cabrio is likely to borrow much from the Wraith fastback - including its 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 624 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque - but with a folding cloth roof mechanism to let the wind and engine note in, although the prototype pictured here is wearing a makeshift hardtop.
