1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur 2 Owner Az Car Tools Books All Original Car on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
Rolls Royce unveiled an
entirely new modern design for 1980 after a long 16 year run of the previous
Silver Shadow. Although not entirely new, the Silver Spur/Spirit featured many
new upgrades in the way of technology, electronics, engine management systems
and all around comfort. The familiar and venerable 6.75 litre V8 engine was
placed in the new model matted to the GM sourced THM 3-speed and the companies
completely revised self leveling hydraulic rear suspension. The new system was
very similar to the previous Silver Shadow’s suspension but Rolls Royce used a
Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system with gas charged shock
absorbers making the ride far superior and more reliable than the Silver
Shadows. The Silver Spur was the long wheelbase model which sold alongside the
short wheelbase Silver Spirit model. The two new cars marked a very important
time for Rolls Royce/Bentley, they were to be the platforms of the new models
that would come for the next two decades.
Up for sale is a
stunning 1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Saloon finished in its original Magnolia
paint work over original Brown Connolly leather with contrasting Magnolia piping
and a Brown Everflex roof. This Silver Spur left the Crewe production line in
January of 1982 and was invoiced to North America where it was then sent to
Albers Rolls Royce in Zionsville Indiana. The car sold to its first owner in
early 1982 and lived in Franklin Park Illinois with the first owner until
moving to Arizona in 1988 with the second and final owner. The car has been in
Arizona most of its life and has traveled a mere 27,330 actual miles from brand
new. The original Magnolia Lacquer paint is in exceptional condition and does
not show any scratches, dents or dings anywhere on the body. The body is laser
straight and free from any rust or corrosion or any damage. All of the chrome
and trim are in exceptional condition and show almost no signs of wear or age.
The Everflex roof is all original and still in excellent condition and free
from any scrapes, tears, fade or damage. The Brown Connolly leather interior is
in beautiful condition, the leather is still soft and supple and all of the
piping is intact and free from any damage or wear. The drivers seat shows
extremely minimal creasing and shows no signs of damage, cracking or fade. All
of the wood is absolutely exceptional and free from any fading or cracking
anywhere. Even the door rails are near showroom condition. The original
headliner is beautiful and free from any damage or stains and all of the
original carpet show extremely minimal use. The dashboard is free from any wear
or damage and the leather is still very soft and free from any shrinkage. All
of the interior switch gear and trim are all in excellent condition showing

working order including all of the dash lights, interior lights, exterior
lights and all turn signals and side marker lights. The power antenna only goes
up part way but still works. All of the windows, door locks, power seats, radio
and AC are all in proper working order. The car just had a brand new battery
placed in the car and the tires and brakes are all showing about 75%-80% life
left. This Silver Spur starts right up and idles superbly without any
hesitation or smoking. The car goes into gear with ease and shifts through all
of its gears without any hesitation or issues. All of the hydraulic brakes and
suspension are in proper working order and the rear leveling suspension levels
as it was designed. The brakes feel solid and free from any fade or issues. The
suspension feels excellent on the car, very smooth and free from any kinds of
noises. The steering is very tight and free from any drifting or pulling. This

2017 Rolls-Royce Model Year Preview and Updates
Fri, Mar 3 2017It's a modest year of change at Rolls-Royce. In fact, the most significant news is the discontinuation of the Phantom VII, while the world (OK, the top 1% of the world) awaits its replacement, with a scheduled debut in 2018. Even with a year of modest updates, Rolls-Royce customers and patrons needn't, as the company's CEO put it, be 'seduced by mass-luxury brands'. DAWN/WRAITH: The convertible and coupe variants of the Ghost platform receive modest updates to trim and available options. Rolls-Royce also introduces a Black Badge variant, targeting – in R-R speak – the 'darker, more assertive, confident and demanding aesthetic of a new ... Rolls-Royce customer'. GHOST: Rolls-Royce's Bespoke service, long a staple among Phantom enthusiasts, has worked its way down the food chain to Ghost prospects. To reluctantly paraphrase Burger King: Have it your way! PHANTOM: As Rolls-Royce prepared for an end-of-the-year build-out of its Phantom, the company built a total of 50 Zenith Edition Coupes and Drophead Coupes, as well as enough sedans to bridge the gap between the Phantom VII's end of production and its 2018 model year launch of its replacement.
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan spied in production bodywork again
Thu, Feb 9 2017The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a massive vehicle. It's far larger in person than it appears to be in photos. It rivals the Ford F-150 in overall length and width, and remember this is a sedan. If the same characteristic holds true for the upcoming Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV, as these new spy photos show, this is going to be a luxury apartment on wheels. We've seen photos of the Cullinan before, and this one doesn't appear to be too far removed from that model. The brick-like shape remains, as do all the typical Rolls-Royce touches like the upright grille and suicide doors. Out back, we can see rectangular exhaust tips and a low-opening tailgate. The prototype taillights appear to flow into the tailgate. The overall style is all about clean lines and as creating as few curves as possible. It's probably going to be described as handsome far more than it will be described as pretty. It should be no surprise that the Cullinan is as big as it its. It's supposed to share a platform with the upcoming Phantom replacement. Expect all wheel drive and a turbocharged V12, though a plug-in hybrid variant is rumored to be in the works. Expect lots of aluminum to try and keep the weight down. The prototype looks pretty far along, so look for the final version sometime within the next year or so.

Going mobile: Custom Rolls-Royces inspired by British rock
Thu, Mar 30 2017A rockstar lifestyle and luxury cars go hand-in-hand. To recognize this and to celebrate some of the finest rock music created in Britain, Rolls-Royce will build nine bespoke Wraith models customized in the style of British rock stars. The first four cars in the "Wraith Inspired by British Music" series were unveiled at the Sanderson Hotel in London. The cars have been designed in collaboration with some of the most well-known names in British popular music, and Rolls-Royce says the stars were personally invited to the "Home of Rolls-Royce" in Goodwood, England. The first four cars were created with Roger Daltrey OBE of The Who, Sir Ray Davies of The Kinks and Giles Martin, the son of recently deceased music producer Sir George Martin, famed for the work he did with The Beatles among others. Behind the project is English artist Alistair Morrison, who is working on a series of British rockstar portraits. Daltrey helped to design two cars, first a Who-style Wraith and one fashioned for the band's rock opera "Tommy," with a hood that showcases the sleeve of the famous concept album. However, there is not yet word of a Keith Moon edition Wraith to be delivered into a swimming pool. Cars to be revealed later include a Status Quo Wraith designed with Francis Rossi, a Shirley Bassey Wraith with legendary 007 theme-song touches and a Ronnie Wood car designed to suit the Rolling Stones guitarist.
