Background
The Silver Spur was a longer-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit, the first model in Rolls-Royce’s SZ series, and was in production from 1981 to 1999.
Along with the other models in the SZ series, the Silver Spur was one of the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royces with truly British DNA running through it. The next generations of the ‘The World’s Best Car’ would be built by BMW in a new facility at Goodwood, England.
It featured Rolls-Royce’s familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell, a smooth and powerful 6750cc V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, all-round independent suspension, adaptive ride control, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy mascot.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Division (meaning it has a glass screen separating the front and rear cabins) was manufactured between 1997 and 1999 for, predominantly, Middle and Far East markets.
Only 38 examples of this stretched, coach-built limousine were constructed, making this one of the rarest of Rolls-Royces.
