1986 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur in Two-Tone Oyster Metallic with Connolly Leather
About this vehicle
The Silver Spur was the long-wheelbase sibling to the Silver Spirit, stretching that formal Rolls-Royce silhouette without giving up any of what the marque demanded. This 1986 car wears a two-tone combination of Light Oyster Metallic and Dark Oyster Metallic over a Chocolate Brown Connolly leather interior with contrasting beige piping — a period color pairing that reads understated and correct. Two owners from new. 44,168 miles on the clock, and hard-copy service records covering the past six years.
Paint is described as original. There's sun fading and oxidation consistent with nearly four decades on the road, yet the car presents in excellent overall condition. An Everflex roof and hand-applied pinstriping round out the exterior. Up front, the stainless-steel grille carries a Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, flanked by quad headlights and chrome bumpers running the perimeter. Fifteen-inch painted steel wheels wear polished hubcaps and thin-whitewall tires. The Silver Spur came standard with power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and a self-leveling suspension; this car has seen real suspension attention recently, with a wheel bearing, control arms, a steering rack, a high-pressure power steering hose, and a full power steering system service all taken care of.
Burl walnut trim covers nearly every hard surface inside. The Connolly leather is reported in excellent overall condition, with minor cracking noted on the driver's seat. Front seats are power-adjustable, and climate control is automatic. A Coustic cassette stereo handles audio, while a period Motorola carphone rides in the cabin. Rear passengers get folding picnic tables and footrests. The air-conditioning system has been converted to R134a refrigerant.
Under the hood sits Rolls-Royce's 6.75-liter V8 fitted with Bosch K-Motronic fuel injection, sending power through a TH400 3-speed automatic to the rear wheels. Within approximately the last 2k miles, the car received an oil change, a replacement ignition module, drive belts, spark plugs, and an oil pan gasket, all on top of the steering and suspension work already mentioned.
The sale includes owner's manuals, a clean title, the hard-copy service records from the past six years, and additional documentation related to the car's maintenance history. Located in Chesterfield, MO.
