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.
The tan landau top matches the tan interior while simultaneously contrasting well with the black exterior. The paintwork has a pinstripe running down the side (in classic Rolls-Royce fashion). The unique chrome plate-like wheels with body-colored centers are fitted with white striped tires. There is also a retractable vertical antenna on the trunk, as popularly seen in cars of that era. Unfortunately, being a US market car, it was fitted with sealed beam headlamps rather than the sleeker composite units that were fitted to the European market (to meet US regulations). The interior is the real star of this show. It’s all tan leather, wood trim and chrome; no color-changing LED mood lighting or massive screens here. There’s a vast amount of rear legroom and picnic tables that fold out of the front seatbacks. It has quite a few modern amenities as well, like the memory electric seats. There also appears to be an in-built car phone. This car reportedly has only 39,700 miles on it, and the great condition of the interior certainly indicates that.
This is not a vehicle that one drives, but rather that one is driven in. But if you do need to get somewhere in a hurry, it has a 6.8L V8 that drives the rear wheels. The MkI was only fitted with a 3-speed automatic transmission, but that does mean that there are less gear changes so the ride will probably be smoother. The seller states that the fluids have been changed and the car comes with 2 ignition keys and 1 trunk key.

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.

Why would you want to buy a Rolls Royce Silver Spur, and what to consider when looking for one? With production averaging around 1,000 cars per year for 20 years in the 1980s, these fantastically crafted cars, which were enormously expensive when new, can now be purchased for surprisingly low rates. The key is to look for an example with a great recent history, had a fair amount of use, little to no corrosion, and has been loved and taken care of. Look no further; this 1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur fits perfectly to this description with a fair 95,900 miles on its odometer. This lovely 1985 model is a member of the Mark I, the very first generation, and it still preserves its original vintage appeal.
Today’s EVs and high-performance vehicles are all lovely to drive daily, but what about slowing down every now and then? Studies have shown that constantly being under stress is bad for you, what with all that cortisol coursing through your veins. What you need is a calm and relaxed weekend cruiser, and what better car than this 48,144-mile 1986 Rolls-Royce Corniche II from Hamilton, New Jersey? This luxury British drop-top grand tourer is perfect for taking things slow, even though with a massive V8 under the hood, it won’t hold up traffic. Having received some new parts, this car could be yours to cherish for years to come. The current seller says that the tool kit is included as well, which is an excellent thing if you’re a purist for the little details. Let’s take a deeper dive into what this old-school British luxury car offers.
Rolls-Royce is well known to be the most luxurious automaker in the world. With a rich history spanning over a decade, the Silver Spirit is one of their best-known icons of the Eighties and Nineties. This was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy hood mascot. The spring-loaded mascot would swiftly disappear into the grille if tampered with. Hence, Rolls-Royce owners could now rest easy in the knowledge that souvenir hunters and jealous punters couldn’t get their hands on one of the car’s most desirable aspects. That’s just one of many reasons of why you should consider taking on ownership of this 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. The car comes with a reportedly original mileage of just 62,100, and has received some new parts to keep it humming along smoothly.
The onslaught of the SUV is so relentless that even Rolls-Royce had to bow down and make an SUV. Enter the Cullinan, and if you know anything about Rolls-Royce, it’s that they strive to be the best in automotive luxury. Hence, when they released the Cullinan in 2018, they didn’t compromise one bit. In fact, it’s the most luxurious and well-appointed full-size SUV that you can buy today. So, if that sounds like a vehicle that you’d drive daily, we’ve got a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan for sale right now. With just 2,097 miles on the odometer, it’s barely out of the running-in period!
Do you want a luxury drop-top that’s amazing to drive as well? If so, why not aim high and select a Bentley Continental GTC? Introduced in 2003, the Bentley Continental GT was the first Bentley made under Volkswagen’s ownership of this iconic British luxury automaker. Naturally, they introduced a drop-top variant as well, aptly called GTC. Now on the fourth generation, the Conti GT range is preferred by the discerning enthusiast who seeks a driver’s car but doesn’t want to compromise on top-shelf refinement and opulence. Here, we’ve got a second-generation 2013 Bentley Continental GTC from Florida for sale. This beauty has done less than 26,000 miles, with a reported recent servicing having been done.
Welcomed in the sea of luxury SUVs, this 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 Stronger Than Time Edition is an exclusive variant of the iconic G-Class that blends luxury with off-road capability. Under the hood, this G550 is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. This special edition model comes finished in G Manufaktur Sintered Bronze Magno, a unique paint code that enhances its distinctive appeal. This G-Class is equipped with the AMG Line package, which includes AMG body styling, flared wheel arches, and brake calipers featuring Mercedes-Benz lettering. Additionally, the vehicle has been upgraded with a Kavaca wrap, HRE forged black wheels with 33-inch tires, a 2-inch lift kit, and Brabus-style light bar and spare tire holder. With 47,672 miles on the odometer, this G-Class retains its commanding presence and modern refinements.
Every country has its own off-road icon. Japan has the Land Cruiser, America has the Jeep Wrangler, and Germany has the Mercedes G-Class. But none of these quite compare to the Land Rover Defender. Its origins can be traced back to 1948 when the first Land Rover was launched. Over the next few decades, it evolved into the Series II and the Series III (including a few sub-series), and in 1983, an improved, more modern Land Rover 110 was launched. This would bear the distinct appearance that we now call the Defender (a nameplate that was finally attached to it in 1990). Production finally ended in 2016 after 67 years and over 2 million units. But the story doesn’t end there, for in 2020, Land Rover launched the all-new L663 Defender. “Same, but different” is the simplest way to describe this new car, as it clearly carries many design elements from its heritage and brings the great off-road capabilities of its forefathers, but with modern technology and comfort integrated into it. This 2023 Defender 100 S Trek Edition is quite special, as the owner tells us that it's number 80 out of only 100 units built that exist in North America.
