1976 Rolls-royce Silver Shadow I on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I, Beautiful car in fair to good condition, everything is original Powered by a V8
engine paired to a 3 speed automatic transmission. The car has 26,952 original miles.
BODY: The overall body condition is an 8-9 with two small minor dents. One on the leading edge of the left rear
wheel well opening and the other on the right rear fender at and below the side running light. The paint is
scratched on the right front passenger door with no other paint scratches. I expect the dents can be removed using
paintless dent removal. All of the glass is in excellent condition.
PAINT: The overall paint condition is a 3-4. I found one deep scratch on the right front passenger door. Most of
the horizontal surfaces show light cracking much like lacquer paint used to do in times past. There is some
discoloration on the hood and trunk. I believe this paint is two-stage either acrylic or urethane? Given the body
is in such great condition, I believe a respray of the car with very minimal bodywork is needed.
TOP: The vinyl top needs a complete replacement. There is evidence of surface rust under areas that are exposed but
I could not find any areas that were rusted through. Somewhat normal for vinyl tops that are 45 years old.
CHROME: The chrome is in very good condition. An exception would be some light pitting on the front bumper and
light scratches on the rear bumper. The rear bumper rubber on the left side is damaged and will need to be
replaced.
DASH/INSTRUMENTS: The overall dash is in good condition. The area of the ignition switch has most of the paint
chipped off from the key ring. There are two radios both am/fm in the car. There is also evidence that the car may
have been equipped with an early mobile phone mounted between the front seats. There are4 small holes and a large
hole in the console consistent with a radio/telephone in addition to a cellular antenna on the right rear quarter
panel. Due to the battery/not running issue I was unable to test any of the instruments or features.
INTERIOR/UPHOLSTERY: The seats are free of any tears and are not damaged in any way. The dash cap has a couple of
scratches as does the right A pillar that look like an animal may have caused them. The door upholstery is also
complete and without tears or blemishes. The wood garnish finish is showing cracking and some of the urethane is
chipping off of a couple of doors and is faded on the other doors. The bottom windshield garnish is pitted. I
believe all 5 garnish pieces will need resurfacing. The headliner is intact and in good condition. The package tray
shows evidence of staining and will need attention. Carpeting seems good in all areas except under the driver’s
footwell. I found a plastic for sale sign under the floor mat and it had trapped a significant amount of
moisture/heat, (muffler directly below?) causing some of the floor insulation and soundproofing to deteriorate.
There are two remaining very thick floormats in the trunk; one is fairly faded and the other is in fair condition.
TIRES/HUBCAPS: The hubcaps are in good condition with little to no rash on any. The tires are Michelin and have
excellent tread.
TRUNK: The carpeting is in pretty good shape except for the piece that covers the battery compartment. The lower
area of battery area carpeting is deteriorating and will have to be repaired or replaced. The tools that come with
the car are mostly available except for the case that holds them. The jack is included and stored in the trunk
area.

Grey Poupon's Pardon Me Lost Footage ad airs during Oscars
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Those of you that took our tip and tuned in for last night's Academy Awards may have caught the latest iteration of the famous Grey Poupon commercials, featuring a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans and their condiment-loving stewards. The update to the 1981 commercial was only shown in part on television, however, as the mustard company directed viewers to its website to see the entirety of the Lost Footage spot. Of course if you didn't bother then, you can just scroll down to see the full-length two-minute commercial here.
As you're viewing, note that the Grey Poupon marketers did not, it would appear, get official sanction from Rolls-Royce this time around. While the Rollers in the commercial have all sorts of James Bond-like accouterments, they don't appear to have the official Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornaments, for example, and they have restyled lights and grilles. Check out the new spot below, and see if it stacks up to the iconic Pardon Me original.
Rolls-Royce to reach 4,000 units this year
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Rolls-Royce is, by nature, an exclusive auto marque, but it has been steadily increasing its sales to the point that it could be looking at 4,000 units by the end of this year, setting a new record for the German-owned British automaker.
You don't even need to go back a decade to find Rolls-Royce sales hovering around the 1,000-unit mark. But that was when Goodwood only offered the Phantom saloon. The subsequent addition of the Phantom DHC and Phantom Coupe helped expand its portfolio, enlarged even further by the addition of the Ghost in 2010, by which time total sales were reaching 3,000 units.
The Spirit of Ecstasy marque has been hovering around the 3,500 mark ever since, but with the Wraith now in the mix and its reach extending into growing markets around the world, Autocar reports that global sales could top 4,000 units this year. (Of course that pales in comparison to one-time sister brand Bentley, which topped 10,000 deliveries last year, but Rolls-Royce typically competes at a higher price bracket.)
Ugur Sahin returns with Rolls Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II design
Sat, 15 Dec 2012The "Round Door" Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe (inset) is a magnificent black beast of a car (and you can see it at the Petersen Automotive Museum for a limited time) as well as a mystery: designed by the Jonckheere Works in Belgium in 1935, all records for the one-of-a-kind coupe were destroyed in World War II, so no one knows who designed it or who commissioned it. What remains of the original coachbuilding company now makes bodies for cars and buses, and has asked designer Ugur Sahin to reinterpret the most fabulous car from its history.
We've written about Sahin often before, recently about his Corvette-based Anandi being shown at Top Marques Monaco and going into production. For a man who favors long hoods and short bodies, this particular Rolls-Royce couldn't be better. Sahin says the word "Respect" guided his lines for the 77-year-old car, the most apparent changes being the front fender treatment, the headlights dropping into the fenders, and the serious downsizing of the fin at the rear. Sahin says that there are talks with potential investors about building a one-off.
You can find out a little more about it in the press release below, and check out the gallery above of high-res images for every angle.
