I am selling a stunning 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I.

This old-school luxury vehicle is powered by the legendary Rolls-Royce fuel injected 6.7 liter V8. The amazing motor is coupled with a GM THM 400 three speed automatic transmission. The buyer will be thoroughly satisfied with the pristine condition that the this vehicle is in - both aesthetically and mechanically.

This all original survivor from nearly three decades ago is finished in a beautiful black paint with tan vinyl top. The exterior is complemented by four white wall tires wrapped around the original 15 inch Rolls Royce wheels.

When the new owner takes a seat inside of this exquisite example of British craftsmanship they will immediately notice how well preserved and elegant the interior is. Tan saddle leather wraps the seats and door panels and is complimented by traditional hand-made wood grain accents which adorn the doors, dash and very unique fold down tray tables in the rear.

This car has nearly all of the features you would expect to find in a modern vehicle; Air Conditioning, an AM/FM Radio which has had a Pioneer 6 Disk CD player added to it, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Eight way adjustable Power Seats and Power Windows.

This gorgeous 1985 Silver Spur Mark I has just 47,828 original miles and could surely go much much more. It has made it nearly thirty years and is still in pristine condition - it has at least thirty more ahead of it.

This is a two-owner car. The original owner had the vehicle from 1985 - 2002 and the second owner has meticulously maintained the vehicle until they recently decided to sell it. I have all of the original books that came with the car in addition to an extensive and thorough documentation of the vehicles service history. I have given bidders as many photos as possible and can happily send more upon request. The vehicle is available for showing upon appointment only.

It is my opinion that this vehicle falls into the classification of a "Condition 2" car according to Hagerty.com's Price Guide Report. "Condition 2" is defined as "#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."

The median price for a "Condition 2" 1985 Silver Spur is $17,400. Due to the extremely low mileage I believe my reserve price is set accordingly and gives bidders a true chance to own an amazing vehicle for less than market value. As in a real auction I will not reveal my reserve price to people who email me asking what it is. My advice would be to bid until it is off IF you are seriously interested in this vehicle.

Only 6,240 Mark I vehicles were produced from 1980-1989 making this a collectible vehicle and a rare piece of automotive history.

Notes about the 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I: In 1985 Rolls-Royce standard saloons received some minor revisions which mainly focused on the facia and interior trim. Externally the headlamps wash & wipe system gave way to high pressure jets mounted on the bumper, which eliminated the need for separate wipers. In addition to some subtle re-styling, the cars received burr walnut veneers, even more elegant than before, that extended to the door cappings. On the early Silver Spirit cars this was limited to finishers formed from walnut. Operation of the cruise control was simplified, the air conditioning outlets were slightly repositioned within the center console, and the digital display was modified to be all the more informative.

In 1985 Rolls Royce produced their 1,000,000th vehicle.

Work begins on new Rolls-Royce Phantom, PHEV likely

Fri, 16 May 2014

After reporting that a new Rolls-Royce Phantom would arrive sometime around 2017 in the same timeframe as a Rolls-Royce SUV, Autocar has a few more details on the next coming of the massive English sedan. Both its skin and its bones are being worked out right now, brand design head Giles Taylor telling the magazine that his team is "treading an evolutionary path" with the model, suggesting it will have "more charisma and more edge" as part of a future design language that will have "a charismatic expressiveness."
True, that gives us absolutely no indication of what the car will look like, but it seems fair to assume it will feature more curves and detailing than the present car. The long C-pillar will remain, though, the privacy it affords being "part of the Phantom recipe."
What's underneath could be more detailed as well, the report saying BMW is mulling an i3 kind of build, with an aluminum chassis supporting a carbon fiber bodyshell. Assuming production considerations and costs could be kept in line, the benefits would be a lighter car that offers more latitude with the design, easier implementation of new bodystyles and the segment's technology crown. A lighter Phantom would bring further rewards for its PHEV variant, which Autocar says is "a certainty."

Rick Ross crashes Rolls-Royce in drive-by attempt [w/video]

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Rap star and exotic-car enthusiast, Rick Ross, had a double-close call on Monday morning, escaping harm in what appears to be an attempted drive-by shooting.
According to Fort Lauderdale Police, Ross was driving his 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost (pictured) with his girlfriend, Shateria Moragne-el, as a passenger at 5:00 AM on Monday. An unnamed gunman in another vehicle opened fire on Ross' car, causing the rapper to turn a corner, lose control of the vehicle and eventually crash into the wall of an apartment complex. Neither Ross nor Moragne-el was injured, despite reports that "dozens" of ammo casings were found at the crime scene.
Ross had been out celebrating his birthday on Sunday night; at nearby restaurant Floridian and a club called LIV in Miami Beach. Reports indicate that the restaurant was also the target of gunfire - some 15 shots that "sounded like they came from a high-powered rifle."

Six luxury-car features I'm ashamed to admit I love

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

A hot compress felt wonderful on my sore back. The methodical kneading of my shoulder blades loosened the knots that formed over several hours of driving. The Swedish-style pulses firing into my lumbar region released more tension.
I wasn't getting a much-needed massage following a recent road trip. I was getting it during the road trip.
I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Nova. But once you use these lux features, it's easy to go soft.
