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.
