Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
SOLD to Michigan!! This is a well documented 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur that has covered a mere 60,000 miles since new. This Spur is elegant in its two tone Light Oyster and Dark Oyster livery complimented with its matching Everflex roof. This Spur was ordered new by Elaine Wynn, otherwise known as the “Queen of Las Vegas”. She is listed in Forbes for her philanthropy and affluence, and is a major shareholder and on the board of the famous resort bearing her name. She purchased the Rolls from Cutter Motor Cars on July 6th, 1983.
The all-original paint looks very good with only a few small touched-up paint chips and the Everflex has very slight staining as seen in the photo gallery. The Spur has never had any accidents or sign of damage. The original stainless steel for the grill and bumpers is nearly perfect, devoid of the common scratches.
The interior is very nice overall. The Mushroom leather (VM 4136) hides are without deep creases and are fairly supple. We have had the dye touched up in the front passenger area. The two contrasting veneers for the wood accents are in good condition with only slight cracking showing throughout. The burl walnut veneers on the dash are beautiful and the door caps are a contrasting straight grain. The mushroom Wilton wool carpets are original and in very nice condition. The drivers foot pad has been removed from the carpet. The original sheepskin mouton overlays have provided ample protection and are the ultimate in luxury. The moutons were sent for dry cleaning and are not shown in the photo gallery.
Our consignment client has owned this Spur for the past 15 years. This is one of 582 LHD Silver Spurs produced in 1985 for worldwide delivery. This Spur was enjoyed by Ms. Wynn and was sent to California from 1985 through 2002. The speedometer was replaced on June 22, 1988 when the Spur had accumulated 19,022 miles. The odometer is now showing just over 40,000 miles making the total accumulated mileage 60,000 from new.
We conducted our mechanical inspection, serviced the cars fluids and air conditioning, and installed all new front brake pads. The car is in very nice mechanical and hydraulic condition. The passenger side door locks are not operating with the door lock system and have to be operated manually. One of the stainless steel wheel trim rings was missing and we are awaiting a replacement which has been ordered and is in transit.
Being fitted with the electronic fuel injection, this example should continue to prove to be dependable for regular use. The Spur is complete with spare keys, service receipts, tools and records, and all of the original owners manuals and documentation.
