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.

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.
