Rolls Royce Silver Spur IV

Our offered Rolls-Royce New Silver Spur Turbo represents the final and ultimate evolution of the legendary Crewe-built Silver Spur lineage. Delivered in November 1996 and belonging to the fourth and final generation of the Silver Spur series, this example carries a particularly unique place within Rolls-Royce history. Not only was this car originally supplied in European specification through Rolls-Royce Motor Cars St. Prex in Switzerland, but more importantly:

​

This exact Silver Spur served as the official Rolls-Royce display vehicle at the 1997 Geneva Motor Show (Palexpo Genève). The corresponding Rolls-Royce documentation, order sheets and written history remain part of the vehicle file today.

​

Following its Geneva Motor Show appearance in March 1997, the car was subsequently delivered new to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Marbella in Spain, where it spent much of its life in a climate highly favourable to preservation. The result is a remarkably well-kept body condition that immediately reflects careful ownership and ideal environmental circumstances.

​

Finished in the elegant and exceptionally timeless combination of: Exterior: Midnight Blue, Interior: Sandstone Hide this New Silver Spur Turbo embodies everything enthusiasts appreciate about the final Crewe-built Rolls-Royce saloons. Most importantly, it represents both the first and final Rolls-Royce generation equipped with the legendary 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce light-pressure turbocharged V8 of the new generation, entirely developed and built in Crewe before BMW powerplants entered production with the Silver Seraph from 1998 onwards.

​

For many collectors, these late Crewe-built turbocharged Rolls-Royce models represent the final chapter of traditional Rolls-Royce engineering philosophy.
