Are you looking to always get the first parking spot out front of the hotel or restaurant? I am selling MY 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. This is a low mileage car, that I have personally owned and driven for the last year(clear title, registration, and insurance in MY name). I purchased it with approx. 38,000 miles and have brought it back to life after a few years of being stored. In the last year it has had a new EGR valve, 4 new tires, new rear suspension spheres (gas springs), and a new fuel pressure accumulator, fluid changes and ONLY OEM parts used, right down to the proper Rolls Royce oil filter. I bought this car because I'm a huge British car fan (obvious from pics) I've always wanted a Rolls, but now I'm moving out of state and can't bring all my cars with me (going to the Midwest and fancy "foreign" cars aren't really appreciated as much). Car starts, stops, and runs PERFECTLY, I would jump in it right now and drive across the country in style, and if it doesn't meet reserve that's exactly what I'm going to do. I have room in my place to store it, just didn't want to ship so many cars.
If you know anything about older British cars, then all I have say is that the paint is "checked"......that means it is "cracking". Hate to say it, but all these older cars with multiple coats of lacquer paint tend to do this. So, that said, the car looks great on the road, very shiny and gets looks and thumbs up everywhere it goes, but it honestly needs to be repainted to be a show car. This car was ordered with a custom color (Tudor Red), which was not considered standard for the saloon cars, but available on the Corniche Convertible. The interior is tan with red piping and in good shape. The leather has been treated and looks good, but again NOT show quality. this is a nearly 30yo car after all. The Vinyl top also needs to be redone or just removed as it has dried out from the hot desert climate where this car spent most of its life (Palm Springs area) and has just started to separate at the seams. I had a quote of $600 to redo it.
This car also has a lockable center console in the rear seat that is legal to store firearms. Just a little something special if that's your kind of thing.
This car was purchased at Rusnik Rolls Royce in southern California, still a operating RR dealer. the window sticker states that the car was first sold for $109,000.00.....It's gong to sell for a fraction of that now :-) All the original books, warranty cards, key code, etc. are pictured and included.
The front end of this car is either the updated or UK version with the larger one-piece headlights, and it also has the 3rd brake light. The car was this way when I bought it, so I can't say if this was factory or done later, but it is nice looking. The power windows all work, but the rears are slow (from lack of use). the factory radio (anther GM part) works, but its an outdated POS by todays standards. I would replace it AND all the speakers if you want good music, and that would be the perfect time to lube the inner window channels to get the back windows going quicker. The windshield wipers do NOT work, don't know why, haven't bothered to care to look into it....I'm going with the story that its never been driven in the rain, which is VERY possible.
If you are local and would like to come look at this car, please just send me a note and depending on where you are I may drive it out to you, or invite you over. I have a Brand New (never titled) Triumph TR7 that will be getting listed soon also, but my xj12 Jag is going back to the Midwest (once you go V12, you never go back)
If you haven't figured it out yet, I prefer to describe my cars honestly and NOT have anyone surprised with what they have bought. I would NOT call this a project car, because you could jump in it right now and drive it across country if you wanted, it runs perfectly. But it is NOT a perfect car. Things that still need to be looked at and perhaps updated.....The A/C doesn't work....I would expect to have to replace the Compressor, but don't panic, its NOT a special Rolls Royce part, it's straight off the shelf GM/Cadillac and you can get them for $200. The front suspension has a minor "clunk" going over speed bumps, and has a pull to the right. Could be an adjustment, but given the age of the car I would probably just rebuild the front end (again parts really aren't expensive and are readily available), but the ride is....well it's a Rolls, leave it at that :-)
Bidders with less than 10 feedback MUST contact me first and provide your phone number and e-mail or I will cancel your bid. Sorry, but just too many scammers on eBay lately. Payment MUST be made in full, before car leaves, I will accept cash, check, cashiers check, paypal, etc.. all forms of checks MUST clear first, that INCLUDES cashiers checks as my bank (US Bank) puts a 2-week hold on them :-( Shipping will be at the cost of buyer, I will help load on this end, but buyer makes all arrangements.

Even in a down economy, Rolls-Royce is on a roll
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Limited Volume, Big Margins Spell Success
Bigger isn't always better, especially when it comes to selling super luxury. Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös expects the British automaker to again post a record year, despite the economic troubles in Europe and weak growth in both the US and China.
"It is not all doom and gloom out there," Müller-Ötvös explains, noting that the declining sales in Europe and elsewhere have been offset by good performance for the marque in the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Russia.
BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing
Tue, 08 Apr 2014It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.
Rolls-Royce rolls out more powerful Ghost V-Specification
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With the release of the 624-horsepower Wraith fastback, Rolls-Royce proved that its 6.6-liter V12 engine could produce significantly more than the 563 horsepower it offers in the Ghost. But those looking for an extra dose of power yet still want the extra two doors - and have the six-figure price of admission to burn - will be delighted by the release of the Ghost V-Specification.
Although Goodwood has yet to put out a press release, its consumer website already has all the details we could want: the engine has been upgraded to 593 horsepower (to sit in between the base Ghost and the more powerful Wraith), driving the rear set of 21-inch two-tone alloys. Buyers will be able to choose from white, grey or three shades of black (or pick an existing color from the catalog), with a hand-painted coachline incorporating the same V-Specification emblem you'll find inside, where you'll also find unique piping and top-stitching, a custom dashboard clock, special treadplates and more.
Buyers will also be able to order their V-Specification Ghost in either standard or extended wheelbases at a price that's expected to, like the engine's output, bridge the gap between the more sedate Ghost and the more powerful Wraith. We're looking forward to seeing it in person at the Geneva Motor Show in a few months, but for now you can scope out the images in the gallery below and play with the configurator tool on the Rolls-Royce website.
