The 1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Saloon LWB boasted a timeless and sophisticated exterior design. Its graceful and flowing lines, elongated wheelbase, and imposing chrome grille commanded attention and admiration. The car's sleek silhouette was accentuated by rectangular headlights and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, symbolizing prestige and luxury. As portrayed by this sublime Magnolia painted example, the car was made with meticulous attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship; the Silver Spur Saloon LWB showcases the epitome of opulence, making a powerful statement of refined elegance on the road.

The 1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Saloon LWB was equipped with a powerful and refined engine, offering impressive performance befitting its luxurious stature.

This engine, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, provided ample acceleration and a serene driving experience.
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.
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.
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. Don’t believe us? Buy this 2021 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge with a smidge less than 20,000 miles on the clock, and you’ll never settle for anything less.
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. Then, they see the iconic logo and Spirit of Ecstasy radiator grille mascot, and soon learn to recognize it. The best part is, it’s not marketing flattery and fluff. 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.
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.
Porsche’s first SUV, the Cayenne was introduced in 2002. The Cayenne quickly gained a reputation as a luxury SUV that offered Porsche’s signature driving experience, making it the most family-friendly car that the Stuttgart automaker offered at the time. Mind you, this was before the Panamera, when Porsche’s only other models were the 911 and Boxster. Now, the Cayenne is on the third generation, and continues to be a best-seller for Porsche. So, if you want a Porsche that can easily be reckoned with as your sole family vehicle, check out this 46,000-mile 2020 Porsche Cayenne S from our inventory. It’s got a punchy V6 under the hood, plenty of tech features, and is a sharp looker too.
The Bentley Continental was introduced in 2003, as the first Bentley under Volkswagen ownership of the iconic British luxury automaker. Since then, the Continental GT is one of their flagship two-door products. It’s an immensely capable driver’s car that’s also packed with the last word in luxury features and finishes. Truly embodying the Bentley spirit of redefining driving at the higher echelons, you’d be missing out on a lot if you didn’t pick up this 2013 Bentley Continental GTC from us. This gorgeous drop top bears only 25,000 miles on the clock. Let us tell you a bit more.
The successor of Jaguar’s iconic XJS grand tourer, the XK was introduced in 1996. It ran until 2014, across two generations, before the F-Type took over. The XK also spawned a high-performance, supercharged variant called the XKR. With Jaguar’s recent rebranding and new direction causing quite a bit of controversy, why not celebrate what the brand used to be, rather than taking up arms at what it might be? This 2005 Jaguar XKR Roadster is a great way to celebrate, with its drop-top and supercharged V8 waiting for you to enjoy. The car packs just 118,064 miles, and has been recently serviced too.
