The Silver Spur was based on the preceding Silver Shadow II, whose floor pan was retained, along with minimal differences in powertrain. It boasted a revised and improved rear suspension and updated styling, with a lower waistline, increased glass area and a more modern angular look, including rectangular headlights, a Rolls-Royce first. The Limousine variant of the Silver Spur could be had in three varying stretched wheelbases: 14-in., 36-in., or the example offered here, a 42-in. stretch.
A U.S.-delivery example and one of 63 examples of its kind, this Silver Spur was delivered in late 1987 and an accompanying CARFAX report shows that it was residing in New Jersey as of March of 1988. It was specified in ebony, with a magnolia interior and black piping. In the mid-2000s, it resided in Florida prior to moving to Nevada where it was subsequently exported to Germany in 2009 before being purchased by the current owner in 2017 and exported to Switzerland. With separate air conditioning front and rear, it benefits from a television system for rear passengers, a refrigerator and ambient lighting, making it an ideal car to be driven in, rather than for driving one’s self.
