1989 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur - Like New-Extensively Serviced, 44,000 miles from new (2000 miles per year - garaged and covered the rest of the time)No brand has been as closely tied to perfection as Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce cars have been favorites of the rich and famous for nearly 100 years. Kings and queens have owned them. Movie stars and rock stars have owned them. So have dictators and politicians. One thing Rolls-Royce owners have in common is money. Perfection is expensive. Today most Rolls-Royce's are worth about a half $1 million. Prices have averaged, in today's money, around $320,000 each. The price tag is not surprising considering how or Rolls-Royce is built. Major auto manufacturers assemble a car in a few hours. It takes more than 800 hours to hand build a Rolls-Royce, by the finest craftsmen the world have ever known.This is a REAL Rolls-Royce, not a BMW or Volkswagen variant. And Rolls-Royce has many levels, the Spur was the top-of-the-line, long wheelbase, most expensive.Rolls-Royce's do not go out of date. A Rolls-Royce always speaks prestige and class no matter what its year, it is a rolling piece of art, most are one-of-a-kind.A Rolls-Royce is built for a lifetime, not for a few short years. Some families, especially in England, buy one car and keep it for 40 or 50 years. One of the best 1989's anywhere in the world--draws attention and crowds of admirers everywhere. Close to original condition inside and out. Bespoke (Custom order RR, five month hand-build), formal Mason black with a red over gray pinstripe wonderful finish with original shine. This has the beautiful, classic, large Rolls-Royce hood ornament a top the large formal handmade Rolls-Royce grill. Not the much smaller produced version of the BMW made vehicle. Chassis number SCAZN02A2KCX24778. Matched perfect condition 8 full cowhide Connolly leather interior, black with red piping. Soft leather still has the heavenly leather smell. Wilton Mills original perfect wool carpeting from Kidderminster England with red leather trim, the most prestigious carpet in the world, identical to what is in the Royal Palace, interior and trunk. Full Wilton lambswool overlays. Matched burl walnut trim. (Perfect condition) Perfect topEverything works the way a proper Rolls-Royce should.Kept in a climate controlled garage, and covered at all times.The inside of the engine is very close to factory clean. Texas emissions test showed lower exhaust numbers than some new hybrids. (They kept re-testing - couldn't believe that it could be that low.)Never any accidents, all original, body rust free, gleaming original finish - never smoked in.Comes with complete owner's manuals.Two sets of the original keys, and custom made Rolls Royce indoor cover. ALSO the original custom build specification sheets from Rolls-Royce in Crewe England for this car. The original Rolls-Royce catalogs for this car. Alot of Rolls-Royce dealer literature, as well as the original window sticker.Umbrella, Euro headlights, pen, telephone with full front and rear connections. Dealer autoshow car until September 1989. Then, occasionally driven by large auto dealer chain chairman of the board (Personal Car) for 17 years, he had over 100 certified auto mechanics in his employ. Uncommon dealer attention to service, maintenance, care. Car was first sold retail in 2006 by reluctant aging CEO who loved the car. (the original dealer owner has offered to talk to any buyer about what a marvelous car this is. I will provide his contact information if requested) This unique Rolls-Royce was never sold retail until I purchased it in October 2006 Technically I was its first official owner, this had been a dealer car until its first purchase, making this one of the most unusual Rolls-Royce's in the country. Every inch of this car has been serviced and maintained to the highest new Rolls-Royce standards. Over $58,000 currently invested in the car. Current appraised insurance value is $44,000. Service records from new. Serviced extensively, I am a Rolls-Royce Owners Club maintenance fanatic. SEE BOTTOM* NOW - Front to back service, by one of the top Rolls-Royce mechanics in the country, European Auto Works, Houston Texas owner Pete Smirnis.**Pete Smirnis, of European Auto Works in Houston, is the "Rolls-Royce" of mechanics. He is regarded as the expert's expert. Selected by Rolls-Royce Owners Club to be the guest expert mechanic at the Rolls-Royce Regional Tech Seminar Nov. 2010 hosted by Bentley Austin. There, he examines Rolls-Royce's driven in by owners from surrounding states to have a true expert opinion, training owners, (and mechanics) on what to look for to make sure a car is up to the original Rolls-Royce Crewe factory standard. This summer, he hosted, at his shop, The National Judges Training for the National Rolls-Royce Convention in Louisiana. Training involve those that would judge, and pick the top Rolls-Royce's, and Bentleys on the 100 point system for genuine original standard. (Over 90% of the older Rolls-Royce's have been repaired by well-meaning mechanics, or sometimes jerryrigged repair, that is invisible to the naked eye, but the values the car's value, drivability, and Rolls-Royce standard.) Rolls-Royce's no matter how good they look, suffer from atrophy, these cars must be exercised. Most cars in existence were large corporation owned, and not well cared for. Even today this car does not get driven as much as it should, and that is why I'm selling. *Highly Abbreviated Current Service History Finest synthetic oil (currently Royal purple), and top-tier gas (premium-although not required) Full extensive tuneup New air filterFull transmission service, new fluids New premium battery Sears platinum (warranty).

So much has been done in the four years that I've owned the car, that it is easy to overlook items. Bottom line, it is about as perfect as you can find in fit and finish, electrical, and powertrain. You are not only buying a car with a Rolls-Royce, you are at entering a lifestyle and you have the option of having a wonderful extended family through the best automotive club in the world. Rolls-Royce Owners Club offers monthly events, support, advice, and get-togethers accessible to most areas of the country, as well as Tech rallies, scenic drives, and national meets. Serious inquiries only, wish to sell to someone that will value and treasure the car, realizing what he or she has. If you cannot buy new, this is your next best option. In this economy, fine motor cars have temporarily lost value, my loss your gain, -- it is an excellent investment time to buy To purchase the car a cashiers check would be required, made out to Capital One Bank (they hold the title) and myself. We would meet at the bank to complete the transaction, and arrange for clear title in your name. Chris Chenoweth, Conroe (North Houston), Texas
