Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur was the long-wheelbase four-door saloon of the Silver Spirit range, built by Rolls-Royce from 1980 until 2000. It was introduced alongside the Silver Spirit, which replaced the Silver Shadow, and its wheelbase was 100 millimetres longer than the standard car, with the extra length going to the rear passengers. Body design and mechanicals matched the Silver Spirit, but the Spur came as standard with a vinyl roof, Corniche wheel covers and a Rolls-Royce badge on the rear pillar. It replaced the Silver Wraith II and followed the Silver Spirit through four series, the last sold as the New Silver Spur from 1996. The turbocharged Flying Spur of 1994 and the Silver Spur Touring Limousine, first stretched by Robert Jankel Design and from 1985 by Mulliner Park Ward, were derived from it.
