DO NOT GO THROUGH LIFE WITHOUT OWNING AND DRIVING A TRUE ROLLS-ROYCE!
This beautiful 1989, in the R-R brochure color, is in near pristine condition. Garaged and covered all its life, its wood is absolutely perfect. The chrome glistens. The Everflex top is in superb condition. Within the past year it has had its services (oil and filter, transmission check, brake check, new thermostat, upper hose (lower hose supplied) and proper coolant, new rear suspension spheres, new battery) and many other small details attended to.The hides are in very good condition with no cuts, tears or significant wear. (The car was reportedly chauffeur-driven - mainly used for transporting entertainment-type clients around by a New York City area attorney.) No rust, of course. The custom floor mats are new and -if you want them, the old mouton/lambs wool ones are available but wlll need cleaned and new backing..The car has a custom-made super-soft R-R branded car cover which was used even while it was garaged. Luisi wood steering wheel. (The original black steering wheel is also included.) All manuals, tools,factory spares are with the car. What does it need? The cruise control is inoperative. (Not checked or diagnosed as of this time.) The car could use a professional-type wax and polish to bring out the mile-deep shine of the gorgeous royal blue paintwork even more. SOME OTHER GOODIES FOR YOU --- This R-R comes with a few extras... like four new Vogue WSW/Gold-Stripe Tires (Unmounted) -the existing Michelins are still great, but are a few years old. Spare maintenance items such as oil filters, hydraulic fluid, wiper blades, front and rear brake pads (car noes not need new brakes) - incidentally, the front rotors have two calipers each! Touch up paints, seat dye (never used,) a spare front seat back - needs re-dyeing, spare gear selector, new lower radiator hose and lots of other accumulated stuff like wheel covers, instruments, etc. NOTE: Every year or so I find and buy a special car, fix anything it needs, drive and enjoy it for awhile---then move on. This is one of those. Take a look at my feedback as a Seller to see what buyers of some of my other recent toys have to say. Vehicle is for sale locally so bid strongly if you want it. We reserve the right to end this listing at any time. |

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.
Third Rolls-Royce Wraith teaser looks inward
Wed, 20 Feb 2013After shadowy images of the 2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith in profile and of the car's rump, the slow striptease of this hyper-luxury coupe finally starts to show us what the inside of the car will look like. We'll get our up-close look at the 2014 Wraith at the Geneva Motor Show on March 5th, but to tide us over until then, Rolls-Royce has provided a pair of images showing just some of the details that will be present inside.
Promising the interior of an "ultra-luxury yacht," the Wraith will get plenty of soft leather and real wood paneling, and as we suspected, this car will share a lot of interior bits with its sedan counterpart, the Rolls-Royce Ghost. We can somewhat see this from the second image provided showing the placement of the clock and the air vents that look almost identical to what can be seen currently on the Ghost. On the Wraith, though, the clock's hands feature "Blood Orange" tips, which not only contrast the high-gloss, piano black finish of this instrument panel but also is designed to pay homage to the aviation side of Rolls-Royce.
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.
