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
almost no use. All of the electrical equipment on the car is still in proper
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
car has just received a major tune up and service from a trained Rolls Royce
technician and is ready to go. This Rolls Royce comes with all of its original
owners manuals, dealer books, service books, warranty books and even key card.
Two sets of original Rolls Royce keys, a complete set of original tools, jack
and spare all present with the car. This is one of the nicest Silver Spurs on
the market and is a completely unmolested complete original car.

Rolls-Royce may be forced to expand its lineup beyond the über-luxury cars gobbled up by the ultra-wealthy jetset, as new competition in the form of the rumored, high-end Mercedes-Benz S-Class could take a slice of the luxury pie from the BMW-owned manufacturer.
Automotive News reports that this, along with the combination of BMW's unwillingness to move above the price-point set by the 7-Series and Bentley's expansion into the SUV realm, could force Rolls-Royce's hand. AN is arguing that, as unrealistic as it might sound, Rolls could develop a four-door crossover or shooting brake, but that any such plans are in the earliest of stages.
In the near term, the smallest Rolls-Royce, the Ghost, will get a refresh in 2014, while the sporty Wraith fastback will spawn a convertible variant by 2015. The big boy of the Rolls-Royce range, meanwhile, is due for a far more comprehensive re-do. The Phantom is expected to share a platform with the next-generation 7-Series in 2016. Advanced materials are expected to feature heavily, as Rolls-Royce seeks to trim body fat and improve fuel economy without compromising the performance or comfort expected of the brands' flagship model.

Wafting In The Fastest And Most Powerful Vehicle RR Has Ever Made
It is said that Rolls-Royce co-founder Sir Henry Royce once proclaimed: "Take the best that exists and make it better: When it does not exist, design it." The second part of that quote is most curious, as the century-old automaker recently introduced an all-new Ghost-based coupe with no apparent peers - a two-door boasting a 624-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V12 with rear-wheel drive and sleek fastback styling.
Yet despite its specifications, it was never planned to be a sports coupe. Rather, the British automaker tells us that it was thoroughly engineered to be, "a car where the sense of arrival and joy of the journey are as important as the canvas upon which it is drawn." Whatever that means.

There aren't very many better places to show the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed Collection than at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Not only is this aquatic-themed land yacht parked on the Concept Car Lawn appropriately very near the Pacific Ocean, it's being seen by some of the most wealthy car enthusiasts in the world on one afternoon.
The car actually debuted in May in Europe, but Rolls-Royce decided to show it again to West Coast customers. This luxury droptop is dedicated to former British waterspeed record-holder Sir Malcolm Campbell, hence the name. Campbell used a boat powered by a Rolls-Royce R engine to reach 126.33 miles per hour in 1937 on a lake in Italy and break the old milestone. Later, he took the same craft to 129.5 mph to further establish his dominance.
The Phantom Waterspeed takes inspiration from these accomplishments with a two-tone look that mixes shining Maggiore Blue exterior paint and a brushed steel tonneau cover to replace the normal teak. The blue color scheme even extends to the engine and interior trim in combination with contrasting Windchill Grey leather. Rolls isn't building many of these marine-inspired leviathans; check one out on the lawn at Pebble Beach in our gallery.
