Special factory-order livery of Pewter over Dark Oyster Metallic
Kept by only two families from new
Supplied new by HR Owen, London
Recently subject to major servicing and recommissioning, including carburetor rebuild
Accompanied by the original bill of sale and a large collection of invoices and maintenance records
The Appeal
The Silver Spur was the de facto Rolls-Royce of the 80s, and a flagship for the discerning driver - offering a longer wheelbase and even more luxury than the Silver Spirit on which it was based. With its additional legroom, rear picnic tables and deep-pile appointments, it was the natural choice for the crème de la crème of the upper class.
This example was supplied new in 1983 by HR Owen, the renowned London distributor for Rolls-Royce and Bentley, at an original cost of £64,952 - a figure confirmed by the accompanying original bill of sale. It was specified with a special factory order paint finish in Pewter over Dark Oyster Metallic, an Ivory Beige hide interior with hide headliner, and optional extras including burr walnut veneer rear picnic tables and lambswool over-rugs.
Having passed through just two families from new, the car has covered 35,000 miles and has recently been subject to major servicing and recommissioning at considerable cost, including a full rebuild of the carburetors and four brand new tires. An MOT has been obtained to May 2027 with no advisories. image.png1.48 MB
