Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional,
stunning and very collectible example of this originally southern
California ordered and highly dealer optioned 1997 Rolls Royce
Silver Spur IV with only 8,720 (YES, EIGHT THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED
amp; TWENTY!) original miles in this specially ordered rare and
highly striking gorgeous color combination of 'Solid Black exterior
paint with matching 'Sandstone' painted pin-stripes and an also
virtually completely flawless and simply stunning interior with
'Sandstone' color leather seats with 'Soft Tan' piping, original
sheepskin rugs and a matching headliner! The original owner added
several dealer installed luxurious upgrades including rear TV/VCR
screens in the headrests, walnut door panels, inlaid picnic tables
and the car has a CD changer amp; navigation system. An
uncompromising head-turner which never fails to get compliments
from all who see her!The Silver Spur IV was built between 1995-99
and was the last incarnation of the legendary Silver Spur long
wheel base Rolls Royce and introduced in late 1995 with the
introduction of the Garrett turbocharger on all models. Only 507
cars were built. The car was 212.4" in length and 83.1" wide and
the longest and widest Silver Spur in the series and was powered by
the legendary 6.75L V8 Rolls Royce engine.This particular example
was reportedly originally celebrity owned until sold discreetly to
only its second owner with only some 7,500 original miles in 2/2008
and was ordered built with rare factory options of veneered door
panels on all four doors, wrap around veneered waist-rails and a
colored steering wheel rim, airbag and cowl. The original window
sticker would have shown an original retail sales price of over
$188K! The car has burl walnut veneer picnic tables, burl walnut
veneer instrument panel with cross banding and boxwood inlay, CD
changer, remote control radio controlled door locks, trunk and
activation of alarm system, driver and passenger airbags, electric
tilt steering column, electronically controlled suspension, front
and rear heated seats, concealed cellular telephone, automatic
headlamp system and electronically memorized front seats with
lumbar supports. Finished in this highly striking color combination
paint with Rolls Royce chrome hub cap wheels and with all the
chromework including the Rolls Royce grille in absolutely
outstanding and virtually flawless condition, this car would be
virtually impossible to duplicate and you will never see another
one like it anywhere! The car is in virtually flawless condition.
The paint still reflects like glass and is as when new and the
original and magnificent burled walnut woodwork is also in
absolutely flawless condition throughout. All the power options and
electric windows are working as they should and the air
conditioning system blows cold air!This obviously always
extraordinarily well maintained Rolls Royce engine runs extremely
strong and these turbocharged cars are not slow - the engine purrs
like a kitten, never stalls or idles rough and is extremely
reliable - there is plenty of power to pull away at the lights and
it cruises at high speeds with absolute ease. The transmission
shift is almost imperceptibly smooth and the temperature always
remains cool. The Silver Spur IV is truly a sensual car that you
can drive with your fingertips, smooth and relatively silent, it's
thoroughly therapeutic for both drivers and passengers. The
delightful precision action of the electrically powered steering
column gear change and the ultra light weighted power steering
allows one to park this 5000lbs of pure luxury with literally one
finger and this long but actually quite slender car is anything but
ponderous thanks to it's torque and brilliant turning radius! The
ride is truly luxurious from a high riding position and the soft
feel of the Rolls Royce Silver Spur IV is like no other car on the
road. This particular model with only 8K pampered original miles
drives as when brand new and must be driven to be fully
appreciated.Without a doubt you will look long and hard to find a
finer example of this extraordinarily rare (1 of only 507 ever
built) and very collectible final years of incarnation of the Rolls
Royce Silver Spur, an obviously always garaged with no accidents
and with absolutely no issues example! The car recently received a
pre-sale inspection by our renown Rolls Royce specialist
independent mechanics, 'Frank McLain amp; Sons' of Encinio,
California and is turn key ready to drive away today.This is one of
the last in the original line of cars hand built in the legendary
Rolls Royce Crewe factory with a quality and craftsmanship that far
surpasses that of today's mass produced models with many BMW parts.
Finished in this stunning and exclusive color combination and
complete with all original owner's handbooks, manuals and factory
tools; this is indeed a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic
automotive history, from a time when Rolls Royce was truly building
the world's finest automobiles - a great investment for the Rolls
Royce enthusiast or collector or simply an outstandingly striking
example of a very rare and unusual Rolls Royce for the discerning
luxury classic car owner!
