The Silver Spur was the moniker adopted by Rolls-Royce for the long wheelbase versions of the Silver Spirit and belonged to a new generation of models that also included that marque's Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward and the Mulsanne and Eight Series models of its sister company, Bentley. Penned by Fritz Feller, the range was first represented at the 1980 Paris Salon and was a welcome replacement for the long-serving Silver Shadow and its siblings. The design was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorpan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent newcomer was lower and longer than its predecessor though and, courtesy of its finely-tuned hydraulic self-levelling suspension, was said to provide the best roadholding ever offered by the marque at that time. There were a total of four iterations of the range, via which the models remained in production until 1998.

Supplied new by Mann Egerton Ltd, London, on the 7th December 1987 in Larkspur Blue Metallic with Magnolia hide upholstery piped in Dark Blue, the Spur on offer displays c.89,000 miles on the odometer. Service records on file show that the car has previously been serviced with the supplying main agent Mann Egerton in Kings Cross, London, at 3,050, 5,778, 10,461 and 13,454 up to November 1989 and specialists thereafer, until October 1996 (at 60,262 miles). The subject of over £4,000 expenditure since 2016. In 2016, £3,597 was spent with JK Engineering on supplying and fitting spark plugs, brake pump seals/ ’o’ rings, a new battery and a new expansion valve. The work also included attention to the paintwork. In 2018, the underside was Waxoyled and £411 was spent with Rutland Autos on the brakes in 2019. Described as 'regularly maintained', most recently by the vendor who informs us that the wood veneers have recently been renewed as well as having 4 new tyres in 2024 and this shows on inspection. It is being offered supplied with the V5C Registration Document, the original handbooks, a warranty card, the hydro-pneumatic suspension card, the original book pack with service book, handbook and a collection of old MOTs.
