THE CAR: For sale is this beautiful 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. This luxury ride is powered by the legendary Rolls 6 3/4L fuel injected V8 running through a GM THM 400 3 speed automatic transmission. This car is finished in a beautiful midnight blue paint with tan vinyl top. To complete the exterior look the car sports 4 new white wall tires. The best part of this car is the plush interior. Saddle leather wraps the seats door panels. Traditional wood grain adorns the doors dash and airplane style fold down tray tables. This car has all the amenities of a modern car; A/C AM/FM radio cruise control power brakes power steering power locks power seats power windows leather interior and white wall radial tires. This '85 has only covered 71,300 miles and has a lot of life left. This is your chance to own a luxury sedan that originally cost over $150000. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. DESCRIPTION: It doesnt matter that this 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur is almost 30 years old, its still a heavy-hitter. Technology may have progressed, but the timeless elegance of a Rolls-Royce is one of the few constants in the automotive world. With hand-stitched leather, burled walnut trim, and effortless performance, there are some things that remain unique despite the passage of time. There is no mistaking the big Silver Spur, which is positively massive. Its imposing and formal-looking, and the long-wheelbase model has the look of a mini-limousine and everyone who sees it will be craning their necks to see who is inside. The paint is incredably beautiful but not flashy, but thats the Rolls-Royce way, elegance in motion. Fit and finish are, of course, exemplary in every way, with hand-rubbed paint, panels that are tweaked by workers at the end of the assembly line to meet very strict tolerances, and some of the best chrome trim this side of Pebble Beach. Even after more than two-and-a-half decades, this one looks superb thanks to a quiet life and only 71,300 miles. Its not perfect, but with this quality, it remains tangible in every aspect of the car. A padded roof adds formality which is surely a desirable property of any Rolls-Royce motorcar. The interior is really why you buy a Rolls-Royce. Beautiful tan leather is simply unlike anything else available from other manufacturers. The seats are sumptuous and deep, but still supportive enough for all-day comfort. Wilton wool carpets are plush enough to feel through the soles of your shoes, and I believe theres one guy in Crewe who was responsible for choosing all the burled walnut panels that make Rolls-Royce dashboards. The controls have a serious heft to them, and the heavy chrome switches and knobs should be a course of study for any automotive interior designer. A mini console has the controls for the power bucket seats and windows, with everything else neatly grouped in front of the driver. The only possible demerit is a plebian AM/FM/cassette stereo that will look familiar to us Yanks, but it sounds pretty darned good in the eerie silence of the big Spur. Even the trunk is superbly upholstered with matching materials and has obviously been protected by a plastic mat for years. Rolls-Royce used their own six-and-three-quarter litre V8 and gave it adequate horsepower to move the nearly three-ton Silver Spur. The result is almost electric-motor smoothness and performance that is, well, adequate. It whispers along at highway speeds and is happy to idle in traffic while occupants are blissfully unaware of the cacophony outside. The 4-speed automatic transmission is silky smooth and the all-independent suspension offers comfort and reasonable handling. Four-wheel disc brakes are commendably powerful for this behemoth, and it rides on 235/70/15 whitewall radials with distinctive Rolls-Royce hubcaps. Prestige at an affordable price, this well-maintained Rolls-Royce is a very affordable of previously unobtainable luxury. If you want to feel like a million bucks on a budget, no other car can do it better. OWNER COMMENTS: This car is great. Lots of looks for little cost. Everyone asks about the car at restaurants, bars, gas stations, parking etc. they all want to sit inside. It has a mystique all it's own. I get more attention and compliments than in my new Mercedes! On the highway it is fast and amazingly agile for its size. Stops fast and runs effortlessly. I could have spent five times the money and few would notice. I get the best parking and treatment at restaurants and hotels. Best value for price, insurance and retained value.This car is solid, easy to maintain and timeless. Few people understand it was designed for easy service and maintenance. It is a fast car with great linear acceleration and excellent handling and brakes. It is like sitting in your living room on a long road trip.. No need for premium fuel. Safety at over 6500 lbs is great. Insurance costs are also very low and even parted out the car is often worth more than you will pay for a well maintained car. So indulge yourself and be parked up front almost every time. You will get more attention in these cars even if they are 20-30 years old. All people know is it's a ROLLS ROYCE. I can ship it to your door, by enclosed, insured, bonded carrier. HISTORY OF THE ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SPUR: Introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1980, the Silver Spirit and Silver Spur were the beginning of a new generation of models for the company. Externally these cars were entirely new, but retained most of the chassis platform of the Silver Shadow, as well as the 6.75 L (6750 cc/411 in?) V8 engine. The major exception was the rear end, which was modified to accept new rear suspension. This new system had been launched during 1979 on the Corniche and Camargue models. The long-wheelbase version was called the Silver Spur. Four inches longer than the Spirit, it is identifiable by its extended rear windows and ever-flex roof.The Spur continued with the high degree of ride quality and self-leveling suspension from the Shadow, this time using a Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system and gas-charged shock absorbers.Many of the changes behind the development of the new car were due to impending safety legislation. The Spirit of Ecstasy, for example, was no longer fixed to the grille, but designed to retract into the radiator shell upon impact. Overall, only 6,238 Silver Spurs were produced from 1980 thru 1989, making this an incredible and rare piece of Rolls-Royce history.

New Rolls-Royce Boat Tail shows off coachbuilding chops of the Phantom platform
Thu, May 27 2021Rolls-Royce is flexing the coachbuilding muscles of its highly versatile new Phantom platform with this gorgeous Boat Tail commission. Rolls-Royce claims the build required the fabrication of more than 1,800 unique parts and 20 years of combined man-hours to complete. Even by Rolls-Royce standards, this is pretty ambitious stuff. The commission was inspired by a 1932 Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, and like the original, it was inspired by, well, boats. Shocking, right? The trim elements both inside and out (Caleidolegno veneer, if you're curious) were designed to be reminiscent of the teak decking you'd see on a wooden yacht. "Today marks a seminal moment for the House of Rolls-Royce. We are proud to unveil Rolls-Royce Boat Tail to the world, and with it, the confirmation of coachbuilding as a permanent fixture within our future portfolio," said Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos in the Boat Tail announcement. "We have formally re-established our Coachbuild department for those patrons who wish to go beyond the existing restraints, and explore the almost limitless possibilities this opens up for them," Muller-Otvos said previously. "We are able to offer our customers the opportunity to create a motor car in which every single element is hand-built to their precise individual requirements, as befits our status as a true luxury house." There are quite a few bespoke accessories as well, though apart from the full picnic service shown in some of the pics (there doesn't appear to be much of a trunk — sorry, boot), most of it was left out of the promotional materials. Most notably absent are the custom his-and-hers Bovet 1822 timepieces that were commissioned alongside the car. They can be either mounted in the dash or worn on the wrist (of course), but we see only a glimpse of one in the top-down image Rolls-Royce provided.

Rolls-Royce reveals Ghawwass edition Phantom Coupe
Wed, 16 Oct 2013This is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe Ghawwass Bespoke Edition, the latest car to join the long and distinguished line of Rolls-Royce limited editions that have arrived over the years. With that in mind, we'll allow you one guess as to what market this limited edition is destined for.
If you said the Middle East, which is almost always the answer when talking about ultra-limited, special editions of the world's finest luxury and sports cars, then give yourself a pat on the back. As for that name, "Ghawwass" is the Arabic word for diver, and attaching it to the Phantom Coupe is meant to celebrate "the traditional method of collecting pearls from the Bahrain pearl banks," according to Rolls-Royce's Facebook page, where these pictures were posted.
Considering its nautical namesake, the color scheme of the Phantom Ghawwass makes a lot of sense, with a Turchese Blue exterior and a tan and Turchese interior that brings to mind bright blue water and sand. The veneers are pearl - although we can't see them in this photoset - befitting the car's inspiration, while a Dhow, a traditional Arabic sailboat, can be found in the coachline and stitched into the headrests.
