1996 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

H ere is a really stunning looking Rolls-Royce Silver Spur last of the series (colloquially referred to as the Spur IV) finished in all over white with beautiful contrasting cream Connolly leather hides accented by rich St James red piping, carpeting and trim. The twin fine lines to the waist-rails and hubcap beauty rings are hand-painted in dark red to match the interior accents.



This is what is known as a 57,000 series SZ so it has all the upgrades over the previous models; the Silver Spirit and Silver Spur, II and III. Released in late 1995, they feature a vast number of engine and drive train improvements and cosmetic updates. A new design of intake manifold and cylinder heads increased power output. The parameters of the semi-active suspension system were improved, noticeably impacting ride quality. New design 16 alloy wheels were also added. Dual airbags were introduced inside, along with independent adjustment of the rear seats and a revised dash and centre console. They are distinctive on the road with their wrap-around style integrated front and rear bumper design.

This Silver Spur is well known to us having been a fully maintained example whereby everything and anything needing to be done has been done so without sparing expense. Every service is completely up to date.



The car has travelled a very low 32,000 miles and looks and drives every part of such.



The body of the car is very straight and the paint in excellent condition. It appears to be all original and is consistent and very deep in lustre and shine. There are hardly any notable chips and marks if any. It is very shiny without any fading, dents or dings. Rubbers, mouldings, badges and external fittings are all in excellent condition.



The interior of this car is stunning. The Connolly leather shows beautifully and is completely original. It remains very soft and supple without any signs of extraordinary wear. The cream and red combination is strikingly elegant. The wood throughout is excellent and can comfortably be described as excellent showing only the most minor lacquer cracks or marks, none of which would be considered an issue or an aesthetic distraction to the interior. And, of course, the 50,000+ series cars have the beautiful teak in-lay that is truly in tune with the best of wood-working craftsmanship.



Carpets, seats, dash, front top-roll, rear parcel shelf and fixtures are truly excellent and I best encourage you to look at all the photos to fully appreciate how nicely the interior presents.



As part of Park-Wards maintenance program known as Predelivery Commissioning , all electricals and features & functions are inspected so when the car is delivered, everything is operating as it should; windows, seats, mirrors, A/C, heater, lights, wipers, etc. Right down to every light bulb in the dash. This is a true, take the keys and drive example with no additional budget needed to attend to any nuances or gremlins.



Being a well-maintained example. It is tight to drive, brakes strong and rides as a Rolls-Royce should.



When describing a car for sale, one should be very careful to use terms like perfect and flawless because nothing but a brand new car can be described this way. That said, this Silver Spur (IV) is close to, is of a very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is 100% factory original in specification in every respect.
