Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
SOLD by private treaty! This is an absolutely stunning example of the 1991 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur II in almost showroom condition with only 16,940 miles from new. We love the magnolia and cream color combination and the perfection of most of the details. This is a true time capsule.
This Spur was sold new on October 30, 1991 in Houston, Texas by British Royal Motor Cars, Ltd. to Hughes Technologies to transport its VIP clients and for special occasions. This Spur was chauffeur driven and stayed with its first owner for ten years. They had accumulated 10,000 miles. By 2010, it had accumulated 13,651 miles and was sold to its last owner of eight years. It had been exhibited in their personal auto museum and was used for special occasions.
We have a fair amount of service details with the motorcar. On January 2, 1997 it had accumulated 5,629 miles. Of course, the Spur comes with a perfectly clean CARFAX with no issues, further validating the condition of the car and the mileage. .
Finished in one of the classic Rolls-Royce colors of Magnolia (Code 9510418) and a cream Everflex top (5568 DH) with subtly contrasting barley coach stripes. The livery was repainted in its original color at one point and remains in beautiful condition. There is some cracking in a few areas that is only seen upon very close examination. There are no dents, scrapes, etc. It is just gorgeous.
The interior is all original and in nearly perfect showroom condition. It is in parchment leather (A3672) with tan piping (A4178). The leather is soft and nearly perfect throughout. The rear seats are electric reclining seats and include the wonderful footrests, vanities and picnic tables for the benefit of the occupants. The Spur comes complete with the original set of mouton sheepskin overlays for the front and rear passengers (not shown in the photo gallery). All the interior wood appears to be flawless with no cracking or discoloration.
The only updating is the sound system, which has been updated with a high quality Pioneer folding unit. The original mobile phone is securely nestled in the armrest. Everything worked well for our checklist test, with the exception of the passenger seat is not moving back (likely a motor issue).
The engine compartment is truly amazing and would easily perform well at Preservation Class showing at concours events. The last major service and repair documented is from May 2015, and the mileage was 16,435 at that time.
