The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur holds a special place in the Rolls-Royce lineup as the long-wheelbase variant of the Silver Spirit. Introduced in 1980, both models represented the pinnacle of luxury and craftsmanship. While the Silver Spirit ceased production in 1997, the Silver Spur continued until 2000, solidifying its status as an enduring classic. One notable feature of the Silver Spur, as well as the Silver Spirit, is the innovative anti-theft measure implemented for the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood mascot. With the use of a powerful spring, the mascot would retract into the radiator grille if tampered with, ensuring its safety and preserving its allure. This particular 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur offers an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless Rolls-Royce lifestyle. While the current owner reports that the odometer is not functioning, the overall condition of the car is in great shape ready for a new home. Recent maintenance, including an oil and fluid change, adds to its appeal and assures its continued performance and reliability.
This beautiful 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, belonging to the Mark II variant, captures the essence of luxury from the 1980s. Its sleek black exterior exudes a timeless elegance, showcasing the characteristic square designs and angular lines that defined the era. The quad rectangular headlamps and imposing radiator grille, featuring the protected Spirit of Ecstasy, further enhance its commanding presence on the road. At the rear, the taillamp design, though representative of the styling of the time, has aged gracefully, adding a touch of nostalgia. The attention to detail extends to the hubcaps, which have been meticulously repainted, and they are accentuated by the whitewall tires. Step inside the cabin, and you will be greeted by a truly luxurious interior. The black leather seats with red piping exude British sophistication, complemented by ample wood trim that adds warmth and elegance to the surroundings. The inclusion of fold-down rear tray tables further enhances the aristocratic feel of the interior. The current owner has made some modern upgrades, including a more contemporary dashboard unit that features a pop-up navigation system with Bluetooth capability. The car also boasts power-operated front seats, climate control, and a range of other convenient features expected of a Rolls-Royce. The trunk, too, has been well-maintained, providing ample space for your belongings.
Powering the 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur is a formidable 6.75L V8 engine, known for its smooth and effortless performance. This engine, coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission, delivers a refined driving experience, effortlessly propelling the car forward. With a 28.3-gallon fuel tank, the Silver Spur ensures an ample fuel supply, allowing for extended journeys without frequent refueling. Bringing this majestic vehicle to a controlled stop is a set of front and rear disc brakes. These brakes provide reliable stopping power, instilling confidence in the driver and ensuring the safety of both occupants and other road users. The combination of the powerful V8 engine, smooth transmission, and reliable braking system contributes to the overall driving experience, making every journey in the 1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur a comfortable and secure one.
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.

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.
