For Sale: 1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description The seller of this 1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur says he is scaling back on his collection.
The car was at some point equipped with sleeker European headlights, as the U.
S.
models used dual rectangular sealed-beam lights per side.
The seller has included an itemized list of services performed on the car in 2022, totaling $8,000.
This included work on the suspension, brakes, windshield wipers, ignition switch, and other areas, with some noted in the sections below.
Rolls-Royce replaced its long-running Silver Shadow series in 1980 with the Silver Spirit and a longer-wheelbase version called Silver Spur.
Other than the 4-inch-longer wheelbase on the Spur (124.
5 in.
), the two cars were identical.
Like its predecessor model, the Silver Spur used unitized body construction.
The self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, a technology licensed from French carmaker Citroen, was carried over with updates.
The Spirit/Spur design was more modern yet still traditional, and the same could be said for the interior, which showed the classic Rolls attention to hand-made detail in its polished-wood trim, soft leather seating, and thick carpeting.
The Silver Spirit/Spur models both have the iconic spring-loaded Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
