The Rolls Royce Silver Spur is notable for being the first Rolls Royce to have a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornamentation. Our subject, a 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, wears this ornament with pride and is cloaked with a sophisticated beige exterior. A recent tire change ensures peace of mind, and the automatic leveling suspension guarantees a comfortable ride. It also features disc brakes with power assistance to offer precise control. Both the exterior and interior are tastefully decorated with chrome accents. A walnut-veneered dash is what graces the cabin of this 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. The color-matching plush carpeting underneath your feet is a reminder of why you opted for a Rolls Royce out of all the other brands. You also get power features that were still rare in 1980, including fore-aft and up-down, and tilt for the seats. The rear passengers are greeted by wooden picnic tables that blend into the back of the front seats.
Under the hood of the Rolls Royce lies a robust 6.8L L410 V8 engine delivering 220hp. Paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, it propels the vehicle with graceful authority through seamless gearshifts. This powerhouse is able to push this hefty 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur to a top speed of 120 mph. Carefully maintained, the current owner has reported a recent oil change, confirming that it meets the criteria we previously noted.
Our featured car is an all-original 1988 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, the long-wheelbase sister of the Silver Spirit, which appears to be in as good condition — as if it just came from the late ‘80s. It was the first car to feature the iconic retractable “Spirit of Ecstasy.” The Silver Spur was a new generation of model which formed the basis for well-known names such as the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, and the Bentley Mulsanne series. The Silver Spur carried over the basic design of its predecessor, the Silver Shadow, carrying over the same V8 engine and the automatic gearbox sourced from General Motors. This particular model boasts an original mileage of the original 6.8-liter V8 engine that has clocked 51,000 miles on the odometer, and with servicing up to date, this vehicle is for sale in Birmingham, Alabama.
Opulence on the outside and old-school luxury on the inside: The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. Most people would see this car and ask, “but isn’t that a Silver Spirit?”. The Silver Spur is actually the long wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit. The Silver Spirit/Spurs were first introduced in 1980 to replace the aging Silver Shadow and had a more contemporary, squared-off design. It was also larger, with the MkI Spur having a total length of 211.8 inches and weighing over 5000lb. Being a Rolls-Royce, the main focus of the car was, of course, ride comfort; achieved by its hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, Girling automatic ride height control system and gas-charged shock absorbers. Interestingly, this was also the first Rolls-Royce model to be fitted with the retractable Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood that is so famous today.

Even the world’s best luxury automaker, Rolls-Royce, wasn’t immune from the SUV tsunami that gripped the automotive world. However, when you’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy of luxury, you’ve got to give it your best – and then some. That’s why Rolls-Royce took their own sweet time, only entering the luxury SUV game in 2018 with the Cullinan. Named after the largest rough diamond ever discovered to date, the Cullinan is the brand’s first SUV, and their first all-wheel drive vehicle. And as you’d expect, it’s every bit a Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce is the ultimate aspirational point for most people, regardless of their level of knowledge about cars. The brand name gets entrenched in the minds of small children as the best luxury car in the world.

Rolls-Royce enjoys such reverence because they make exceptional cars. They go to great lengths to satisfy owners, with myriad customization avenues available. They were one of the last automakers in the world to stubbornly cling on to traditional coachbuilding techniques, long after many others had shifted to mass production and automated manufacturing. That’s why when you buy a car such as this 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, you’re buying a legacy, a piece of history, and something truly amazing. This car comes with a few enhancements, but retains its Rolls-Royce spirit, something that’s truly inimitable.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has become such a style statement in urban circles that it’s incredible off-road abilities have almost been forgotten. Created as a sturdy off-roader, the G-Class has since morphed with luxury like an S-Class with an SUV body and the capability to rival many purpose-built off-roaders when the going gets tough. This 29,766-mile, Las Vegas-based 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 is no different, as all it needs is a swapping of its Pirelli Scorpion Verde all-season tires with something meatier, and it’s ready to tackle the great outdoors.

Jaguar’s XJS is widely regarded as one of the brand’s finest classic grand tourers, but by the 1990s, it was showing its age. That’s why Jaguar replaced it with the XK8 line-up. Sleek styling and modern mechanicals were the order of the day, and the XK8 ran from 1996 to 2006 before a second generation was introduced for the following year. Of course, Jaguar knew that they had to do a performance variant, what with the epic V12 that the XJS offered. Cue up the XKR, a supercharged V8 beast with serious power, but still offering that signature iron fist in velvet glove driving experience that Jaguar was known for at the time. This particular 2004 Jaguar XKR Coupe is up for sale with us from Sarasota, Florida, having driven only 43,000 miles in its lifetime so far. It’s also reportedly packing a PPF from front to back, ensuring that its smooth black paint job remains as pristine as possible.
Aston Martin is well-known for its superspy-outfitting capabilities when it comes to choosing wheels. From James Bond to Johnny English, this British sports and supercar maker manages to hit that sweet spot in the trifecta of luxury, performance, and jaw-dropping looks. The Vanquish is one of their models that’s been around since 2001, and it naturally made an appearance in the 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day, which was Pierce Brosnan’s last outing as the famed British superspy. In 2012, Aston Martin decided that a second generation was due, which is where this 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish S Volante comes from. With just 7,738 miles on the clock, this car wears some Bond gear as well. It’s got James Bond 007 exterior badging, Skyfall floor mats, and branded seatbelt pads, too. So, if you’d like to channel your inner superspy, we’ve got just the wheels to help. Although you should bear in mind that you don’t likely have a license to kill, nor one to break the traffic laws – actually, even James Bond didn’t have the latter, as Q pointed out to him.
