I am selling a stunning 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I

This old-school luxury vehicle is powered by the legendary Rolls-Royce fuel injected 6.7 liter V8. The amazing motor is coupled with a GM THM 400 three speed automatic transmission. The buyer will be thoroughly satisfied with the pristine condition that the this vehicle is in - both aesthetically and mechanically. 

This all original survivor from nearly three decades ago is finished in a beautiful black paint with tan vinyl top. The exterior is complemented by four white wall tires wrapped around the original 15 inch Rolls Royce wheels. 

When the new owner takes a seat inside of this exquisite example of British craftsmanship they will immediately notice how well preserved and elegant the interior is. Tan saddle leather wraps the seats and door panels and is complimented by traditional hand-made wood grain accents which adorn the doors, dash and very unique fold down tray tables in the rear. 

This car has nearly all of the features you would expect to find in a modern vehicle; Air Conditioning, an AM/FM Radio which has had a Pioneer 6 Disk CD player added to it, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Eight way adjustable Power Seats and Power Windows. 

This gorgeous 1985 Silver Spur Mark I has just 47,828 original miles and could surely go much much more. It has made it nearly thirty years and is still in pristine condition - it has at least thirty more ahead of it.

This is a two-owner car. The original owner had the vehicle from 1985 - 2002 and the second owner has meticulously maintained the vehicle until they recently decided to sell it. I have all of the original books that came with the car in addition to an extensive and thorough documentation of the vehicles service history. I have given bidders as many photos as possible and can happily send more upon request. The vehicle is available for showing upon appointment only. 

It is my opinion that this vehicle falls into the classification of a "Condition 2" car according to Hagerty.com's Price Guide Report. "Condition 2" is defined as "#2 cars could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 cars that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and interior will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine compartment. The vehicle will drive as a new car of its era would. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent." 
The median price for a "Condition 2" 1985 Silver Spur is $17,400. Due to the extremely low mileage I believe my reserve price is set accordingly and gives bidders a true chance to own an amazing vehicle for less than market value. As in a real auction I will not reveal my reserve price to people who email me asking what it is. My advice would be to bid until it is off IF you are seriously interested in this vehicle. 

Only 6,240 Mark I vehicles were produced from 1980-1989 making this a collectible vehicle and a rare piece of automotive history.

Notes about the 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Mark I: In 1985 Rolls-Royce standard saloons received some minor revisions which mainly focused on the facia and interior trim. Externally the headlamps wash & wipe system gave way to high pressure jets mounted on the bumper, which eliminated the need for separate wipers. In addition to some subtle re-styling, the cars received burr walnut veneers, even more elegant than before, that extended to the door cappings. On the early Silver Spirit cars this was limited to finishers formed from walnut. Operation of the cruise control was simplified, the air conditioning outlets were slightly repositioned within the center console, and the digital display was modified to be all the more informative.
In 1985 Rolls Royce produced their 1,000,000th vehicle.

Fastest and most powerful SUVs in America for 2022

Wed, Nov 10 2021

Here in the United States, we enjoy power almost as much as we like our SUVs. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of both. Traditionally, the most powerful SUVs source their massive horsepower and torque from some form of a V8. While thatÂ’s still generally the case, electrification comes into play more and more, whether itÂ’s mild-hybrid tech, a plug-in hybrid powertrain or, as is the case with the two vehicles topping this list, fully electric vehicles. As we enter the 2022 model year, letÂ’s look at the most powerful SUVs available.  Before we dive in, letÂ’s address the elephant that is waiting just outside the door. Due to supply shortages, Mercedes-Benz is shelving most V8 models for the 2022 model year. Some 2021 models can still be found in dealer inventories, but we wonÂ’t include them. With that in mind, letÂ’s dive into the list. 2022 Audi RS Q8 — 591 hp / 190 mph Read our review of the Audi RS Q8 The only Audi on this list is a hot little number, which we characterized as “an uncompromising option in a field of compromised options.” Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (which seems to be a popular format in this list), its 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque get it scootinÂ’ to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 190 mph. It even has the bragging rights of holding the Nurburgring lap record for an SUV.   2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge — 592 hp / 155 mph (limited) Read our review of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan This is one SUV where being a passenger might be more exciting than sitting in the driverÂ’s seat, thanks to over-the-top luxury — what do you expect from a car that costs over $350,000? The driver doesnÂ’t go unrewarded, though, with a turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 at their disposal. Thanks to the Black BadgeÂ’s software upgrade, it makes 592 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque to help get to its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph that much quicker.    2022 BMW Alpina XB7 — 612 hp / 180 mph Read our review of the BMW Alpina XB7 Alpina takes already impressive BMW vehicles and turns them into even more powerful, more luxurious machines. The Alpina XB7 improves upon the BMW X7 with a biturbocharged 4.4-liter V8 offering up 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. ThatÂ’s good for a 4.0-second 0-60 sprint and a 180-mph top speed. Alpina also adds its own transmission and drivetrain tuning, upgraded suspension, exhaust and a whole slew of unique appearance touches.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Oribe has a pottery theme and high-fashion interior

Wed, Apr 28 2021

Rolls-Royce has developed quite a busy business with its Bespoke division. It creates specially customized one-off models for particularly wealthy clients. The latest is the Rolls-Royce Phantom Oribe, and it's one of the prettier and more interesting ones. The car was commissioned by a Japanese entrepreneur who collects old pottery from Japan called Oribe. That pottery often features green and white glazing, which provided the inspiration for the name and the color scheme of the Phantom. This particular Phantom was also a collaboration between Rolls-Royce and the French designer fashion brand Hermes, which provided all of the interior leather and canvas. That interior is really the highlight of the car. Most surfaces feature green and white leather to match the exterior. But the headliner and rear armrests receive a canvas fabric Hermes uses on some of its handbags. Walnut wood veneers decorate the doors, rear seat tables and dashboard. A unique touch is the lack of metal speaker grates. Instead, Rolls-Royce drilled out holes in the wood trim over the speakers. Additionally, the dashboard features an equine themed pattern that was hand painted. It was inspired by a particular style of scarves offered by Hermes. Both the car and fashion companies' logos appear on the glovebox door. This car is of course a one-off, so you won't see any more of them. Of course if you have the undoubtedly massive amounts of money to commission a Bespoke Rolls-Royce, you could probably request certain aspects of it on your own special car.

Rolls-Royce gets down to testing new aluminum architecture

Tue, Jan 5 2016

Rolls-Royce is preparing to step – or serenely glide – into modernity. It has a new aluminum architecture under development that's set to underpin all its future products. And now it's giving us a taste of what's to come. Goodwood first announced the new platform in February when it revealed intentions to build its first SUV. Now it's saying the architecture won't just underpin the crossover known tentatively as Project Cullinan – it'll form the basis of every model it makes from 2018 onwards. Rolls is already testing the new platform with mules like the one pictured above. The vehicle would appear to be a Phantom behind a mask, but the way that Rolls has disguised the rear end of the prototype tells us it might be wearing a more wagon-like roofline, the likes of which we'd expect to see on the crossover when it arrives. The company's also been testing its first all-wheel drive system for the same project with another type of test mule entirely. Once Project Cullinan is complete, Goodwood's first SUV will launch into a market filled with high-end products. Porsche is firmly established in the sector, and Range Rover is making ever-more expensive models. Soon Bentley, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, and Lamborghini will also join the fray, but the Rolls-Royce will likely be the most expensive and most luxurious of them all. ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS ANNOUNCES FUTURE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENTS In February 2015, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars announced the development of an all-new aluminium space-frame architecture that will underpin all future Rolls-Royce models arriving in market from early 2018. The company today announced that it has begun the testing phase of this new architecture, with early preparatory activity seeing new engineering mules tested in public around the world. The Architecture of Pure Luxury The future of pure luxury motoring is already taking shape as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars begins testing its new aluminium space-frame architecture which will underpin all future Rolls-Royce model lines. The architecture will arrive in market from early 2018. Engineering mules will be assessed on public roads in various locations around the world. The current testing phase aims to ensure that the new space-frame structure perfectly delivers Rolls-Royce's trademark 'magic-carpet ride' on a variety of surfaces and that it is resilient to extreme weather conditions.
