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.
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.

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.
If you are an NFL enthusiast, you might already know about what we have here. DeSean William Jackson is a former professional football player who had a close friendship with Nipsey Hussle, the late American rapper, entrepreneur, and activist. In 2020, the famed NFL wide-receiver decided to pay tribute by customizing his Rolls-Royce with the help of Champion Motoring. This wasn’t Jackson’s first homage to Nipsey and when he revealed his new 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan on Instagram, the media took the news to the public. What we are featuring here is the same 2020 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Nipsey Hussle Tribute that has only done 9,314 miles so far. You are not only getting a one-of-one Rolls-Royce once owned by an NFL player but also a car that has its whole life ahead of it.
Like the famous television presenter Jeremy Clarkson once said, “You can take a girl out for dinner if you have a Jag, and then she will pay.” We don’t advise you to try this out at home, but the automotive community as a whole can agree that Jaguar ownership comes with a certain aura — but in a likeable way. The 1987 Jaguar XJ6 Vanden Plas on offer certainly looks the part for this purpose. The XJ series is a highly renowned British luxury car series that started its journey back in 1968. Fast forward to 1987, and it is one of the most stunning cars you can spot rolling around town. This example of the XJ6 Vanden Plas comes to you with just 33,700 miles on its clock. This beauty is up for sale in Michigan, and all original manuals and service manuals are available.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the most aspirational midsize luxury cars out there. Aspirational, because many eager motorists aspire to own and drive one at some point in their life. While an S-Class is very much a car to be driven in, the E-Class strikes that perfect balance between a driver’s car and one that is ideal to be chauffeured in. Of course, that applies to the sedan and station wagon; cars such as the E-Class Coupe and Convertible/Cabriolet are very much aimed at those who love to drive. Take this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet as a prime specimen. It’s a well-adjudged specification, with ample but not excessive power, plenty of comfort features, and a timeless silhouette. Furthermore, it comes to you with under 22,000 miles on the clock, and has undergone a recent service.
Audi’s Q8 is the top-tier luxury SUV that you can get from the iconic four-ringed German luxury automaker. Introduced for the 2019 model year, the Q8 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV, much like the Q7. However, despite sharing a platform with the Q7 (and the Lamborghini Urus plus the Bentley Bentayga), the Q8 is a five-seat, two-row SUV with sportier styling. This particular 2019 Audi Q8 Prestige comes to you with all servicing up to date and 77,000 miles on the clock. It also has plenty of optional extras.
