The creation of the Silver Spur was largely based on the preceding Silver Shadow II – to which it bore a family resemblance. Using the Shadow’s floor plan, the rear suspension was improved, and styling revised to include a lower waistline, increased glass area, a more angular look, rectangular headlights, and a wider and squatter radiator. Separate rear seats and the re-introduction of folding picnic tables were additional to the development of an improved interior.

The long wheelbase ‘Spur’ was a major success for the company. By 1985, it enjoyed similar sales to that of the shorter Silver Spirit despite being 20% more expensive.

This example, finished in the choice blue favoured by many Rolls-Royce owners, was imported from the United Kingdom and registered here on 12 December 2008. Whilst we are uncertain as to its exact whereabouts through the intervening years, we do know that for the latter part of its life it was based in the South Island. Our vendor purchased it from a deceased estate. Speedometer reads 81,665 miles. Latterly, it has resided in Auckland where an independent marque expert has done some work on it including replacing the gas springs.
