1984 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, Hooper Adaptation? Custom Leather, Like Bentley Rl on 2040-cars
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
|
up for sale is this VERY RARE 1984 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SPUR LWB. this car has what i believe to be a Hooper coach built adaptation. that being the case she is one of just a handful built. i made an enquiry last friday (7/11/2014) to obtain the factory chassis card (build sheet) and i will have it in hand within the next few days. i will post the results of it here on ebay. she is listed on the CHARLOTTE NC Craigs list and i reserve the right to sell at anytime and close the auction.
what makes me believe the car to be a Hopper is not just the classic Hooper small back glass but also the specially pleated leather door panels and seats and the rear armrest vanity. the car also has a leather covered and interior colored matched gear selector cover. it also sports a high dollar Nardi steering wheel and horn push and very unusual door wood caps. it also has a full set of front and rear lambs wool over rugs. the car starts easily hot or cold and runs well. it has hardly been driven for the last 18 months and so the gas is stale. a gas tank flush, fresh gas and a good tune up will undoubtedly do the old girl the world of good. right now the car will comfortably drive around the neighborhood but she has not seen interstate speeds for awhile. any inspection is welcome and encouraged. she will happily drive onto a transporter and i am happy to get you a quote to have her delivered. you may call or text 864 617 1596 up until 10PM eastern standard time. the brake lights stay on monetarily after the car starts as is usual for these cars and then they both go out. in my opinion it would be a good thing to flush the system and refill with fresh fluid. the tires are almost new with 95% tread left. the oil pressure is very good hot or cold and the car does not run hot even if left idling for 30 minutes or more. there is a half engine speed tick when the engine is cold but this soon dies away so i am sure its just a lifter being slow to pump up after she has sat idle so long. all the lights work and the car has the desirable European oblong single glass headlights. the drivers door PWL just whizzes up and down as do the two rear windows but the front passenger window is sluggish going up. it gets there, its just slow. the heat works very well and works on all its settings except windshield defrost. probably a stepper motor is stuck or has gone bad which would not allow the flaps the switch from dash to windshield. the heat and A/C fans work very well. the A/C will not come on and my opinion is that the unit needs a fresh charge of Freon as the compressor will not cut on. the A/C fans work on all settings but simply blow normal air. the car is VERY VERY solid and apparently has spent most of its life in California. i imagine it was sold new there, we shall see what the chassis card says. there is only one VERY minor drip under the car and this is directly around the oil pan drain plug. it is of not consequence its that minor. the hubcaps are aftermarket and while they suit the car i would want the originals on it. the body is straight apart from a few very minor dings and scratches, see close up pictures. if i were keeping the car i would definitely have it sanded and painted. it needs it. the right outer grill upright has a ding at the top and the left has a tweak at the bottom. the rear bumper horizontal rubber needs to be re painted but it is not all banged up or has pieces knocked out of it. please refer to pictures. the drivers seat works very well in all positions as do both mirrors. the front passenger seat is sometimes slow to respond to the electric toggle switch, probably bad connections. if you have any questions at all or need specific pictures i encourage you to call or better yet stop by and see the car in person. any inspection is welcome and we can put her up on a lift for you so you can have a really good look underneath. FULL PAYMENT IN THREE DAYS. the ONLY methods of payment are CASH IN PERSON or a BANK WIRE TRANSFER. no other type of payment will be accepted and if you cannot comply with these simple terms then simply do not bid. thanks and good luck y`all. |

Corniche Comeback: New Rolls-Royce coupe spotted testing
Wed, 25 Jul 2012It's been over a decade since Rolls-Royce last offered a Corniche, which was the company's name for its unibody coupe and convertible models since the early 1970s. But from the looks of what our photographers recently snapped in Munich, that drought may soon be over.
What they've spied is the 2014 Rolls-Royce Corniche coupe, a forthcoming model based on the Rolls-Royce Ghost. Never mind the fake door handles and rear doors on the test mules, the production Corniche will have just two suicide doors like its big brother the Phantom coupe.
Powertrain will probably be carried over from the Ghost sedan, meaning a 6.6-liter V12. We suspect that BMW will roll out its new Roller at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2013. Until then, our spies will keep their eyes open for more prototypes, including the oft-rumored convertible.
Rolls-Royce rings up best-ever sales year
Sat, 12 Jan 2013The wheeled monolith above is the 2013 Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase - a rolling demonstration of the real definition of "More." For that reason we can use it as a symbol of the firm's sales, which have not only achieved 'more' for the past three years but have also broken company records. Adding to its record-setting years in 2010 and 2011, the Goodwood-based carmaker moved 3,575 units, an increase of 38 over the year before.
The US retook its crown as the greatest consumers of Rolls-Royces, snagging it back from China. Other market movers were the Middle East, where sales rose 26 percent, Mainland Europe - the same place where mass-market makers are drowning in woe and inventory - that rose by 21 percent, and the Asia Pacific region and its 18-percent rise. Rolls-Royce is probably making more money on its cars, too, with bespoke uptake reaching 95 percent on the 10-year-old Phantom line and 73 percent for the Ghost line.
With a just-refreshed lineup and one or perhaps two more models coming, the indicators for more upward sales movement are strong, even if we don't know how soon the new models will arrive. For 2012, the brand that sells more cars above $200,000 than any other proved the saying that storms can't affect you when you live above the clouds. The press release below has more to say about the record year.
Rolls-Royce Alpine Centenary Ghost makes its first North American appearance
Sun, 18 Aug 2013Rolls-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.
