Michael Jackson's Rolls-Royce for sale

Michael Jackson cars

Julien’s Auctions – which has previously dealt in The Beatles memorabilia – is hosting a seven-day Californian extravaganza in April auctioning off sculptures, art, games and cars from “the life and career of Michael Jackson”. A career which has seen him become one of the world’s most famous people.
Michael Jackson started out as the youngest member of the Jackson 5 – a five-piece family band managed by their father.

Marking himself from his brothers using his incredible singing voice, Michael Jackson quickly became the star attraction, and soon began forging out his super-successful solo career.

Meadow Brook car show is classic

Rochester Hills -- Ken Kress, 72, didn't take home a prize from this year's Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance, but being invited to participate in the prestigious car show was good enough for him. The Commerce Township resident had wanted to exhibit a vehicle for years.

"Just the idea of participating is a reward, and to get that little license plate they give all the exhibitors," said Kress, who showed off a white 1959 Oldsmobile convertible with a black top he's owned for 22 years.

Kress' vehicle was one of more than 250 classic foreign and domestic cars on display Sunday on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall on the campus of Oakland University. The event celebrated its 30th anniversary this year.

About 10,000 people attended, said Mary Anne Parks, director of marketing for the show. The main feature was "The Best of Detroit" exhibit, showcasing 80 Detroit-designed cars from the 1920s to the '60s.

"It's good for people to know this is the heritage of Metro Detroit," Parks said. "People lived here and still live here that designed the cars here."

Troy resident Matthew Scott, 50, who has been to the show since its beginning, brought his daughter, Amanda, 17, to get her interested in classic cars. One of her favorites was the Rolls Royce, which she described as "intense."

Rolls Royce Releases Performance Figures for 2010 Ghost Sedan

Since there's no point in releasing teaser photos of the Ghost as changes over the pre-production concept will be extremely limited, Rolls Royce is bombarding us with new information on its 'entry-level' sedan model. This time the BMW Group owned British automaker confirmed details on the performance figures for the Phantom's baby brother. More specifically, the new 6.6-litre turbocharged V12 engine will produce an output of 570PS at 5,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 780Nm or 575 lb-ft at just 1,500 rpm.

The V12 engine that will be linked to an 8-speed automatic ZF gearbox, will help the Ghost to deliver a 0-60 mph time of 4.7 seconds (0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds) and a governed top speed of 155mph or 250km/h.

"First and foremost Ghost is a Rolls-Royce. This means that despite its extraordinary performance figures it has been engineered for effortless composure and refined power delivery," said Rolls-Royce Director of Engineering, Helmut Riedl. "This is illustrated by the significant levels of low down torque available which makes pulling away very smooth and for an exceptionally relaxed driving experience."

Extraordinarily elaborate costumes, a customised Rolls Royce limousine, antique furniture, lifesize statues of superheroes and Star Wars villains, from Batman to Darth Vader, and a fully equipped computer game arcade are among the lots.

Michael Jackson’s Curious Car Collection

The interior of Michael Jackson's 1999 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph

The interior of Michael Jackson's 1999 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph.

As those of you who’ve seen "The best car songs... ever!" know, we are music fans as well as car fans. And while Michael Jackson got awfully strange and maybe a little criminal toward the end of his life, I love some of his music, and I think it’s a shame he so clearly never learned how to truly grow up despite - or perhaps because of - his absolutely massive success.

Maybe Jackson’s desire to live his whole life as a child explains why his car collection consisted mostly of vehicles that allowed him to bask in over-the-top luxury in the rear while someone else drove. Auto Trader UK assembled a slide show featuring some of Jackson’s cars in an article on a planned-but-canceled auction of Jackson items in February, including a 1999 Rolls Royce Silver Seraph limousine for which Jackson designed the interior himself, using lots of 24-karat gold.

Sadly, that limousine and a 1997 Neoplan Touring Coach (which doesn’t appear until near the end of the slide show) are the only really interesting vehicles in the bunch, and they are interesting mostly because they’re so over-the-top gaudy and gold (including the fixtures on the bidet in the tour-bus’s bathroom). No Ferraris or rare muscle cars, no hot rods, not even a well-preserved classic from the year of his birth - Jackson had the money, at least in the ’80s, to assemble a fleet of cool cars that would rival Jay Leno's. But no, he built a 2,700-acre amusement park instead.

Based on the segment from Jackson’s film “Moonwalker” called “Smooth Criminal,” though, he did at least appreciate the futuristic looks of the Lancia Stratos - he morphs into a 1970 prototype version to escape Mr. Big and his cronies in the video. Of course, Michael probably didn’t handle the driving for that scene, and maybe one of his collaborators selected that car to feature. According to Wikipedia, that car now sits in a private showroom for Bertone, who did the exterior styling, in Italy. But surely Michael could have found - and afforded - one of the other 500 or so versions of the Stratus. Why didn’t he?

I guess the King of Pop and I don’t have too much in common. I wear two gloves at a time, I’ve never had and don’t want a pet monkey, I wouldn’t hang my child out a hotel window, and I don’t moonwalk at all well. But if I had enough money to start assembling a collection of cars, you can bet I’d have some beautiful Italian cars, some American muscle, and I’d drive those babies myself.

Thanks for sharing your enormous talent with the world, Michael, and may you find more peace in the afterlife than you did in this world
