Vehicle Description
1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Saloon
Saloon is nothing but the British name for Sedan. Both are
identical body-types. Sedans/Saloons are generally 4-door cars with
separate space for luggage, engine and seating. These should
accommodate 4 or more people and have a fixed roof.
This particular 1989 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Saloon marks the final
year this model would be produced in its original design. Finished
in the most desired of color combinations featuring Magnolia
exterior (9510418) over Tan hides (A4178) with Magnolia piping (in
the trunk) (A3997) and Deep Fawn Wilton carpeting (7026)! A
remarkable example that shows just 43,497 miles on the odometer
today, all supported with service documentation.
Exterior
Nicely preserved...a respray of Magnolia color shows a few chips,
areas of slight markings and staining. Overall it is well done.
Chrome and badging look clean and shiny and the beautiful RR grille
in near perfect condition and the flying lady atop, front the
bonnet. Speaking of which is long and luxurious as it makes its way
back to the large greenhouse, which is covered with a darker tan
vinyl top. The large boot deck with proper badging curves downward
and frames the oversized square/rectangular design taillights.
Pristine RR logo-ed wheel covers have a Magnolia matching band near
the center, and wheels are wrapped with new OEM Avons. All in all,
in cracking shape mate.
Interior
Comparable to a bank safe door, it swings effortlessly, but its
weight can be witnessed when doing so, but you can have the
Chauffeur open it for you. Tan hide, wood burl, and Wilton carpet
make up the panels of the doors which house shiny inserts for the
power windows, and door handle. Placing your bum firmly in the tan
hide covered buckets which are nearly new looking, and indeed they
are! You'll get accustomed to plentiful padding. Armrests over the
center console, which houses every control you could possible need
regarding the seats. Infinitely adjustable, you can program 4
memory positions into each seat. Mirror toggles and an ashtray are
seen here as well, all framed in actual wood burl. Moving to the
rear bench there will be plenty of room for the queen bee and her
gentleman caller. If the mood strikes you, pull down one of the
folding picnic tables (in beautiful lacquered burl) and have a spot
of tea and some popovers prior to pulling up to the boardroom. The
dash is loaded with instrumentation, climate controls, burl, and
leather. It presents very clean as does the dark tan Wilton wool
carpeting ...blimey!
Drivetrain
A pop of the bonnet and we are greeted by a clean and spit shined
engine bay. Grabbing the center of attention, is the 6.75 Liter V8
that is original to the car. It sports electronic fuel injection
and a 3-speed TH400 automatic transmission. All quite right! You're
bloody well right.
Undercarriage
Undercarriage is well preserved, coated in rustproofing and black
paint, nary a sign of any rust or structural problems. Independent
suspension, and 4-wheel power disc brakes, and we are all buttoned
up. Bob's your uncle.
Drive-Ability
I had the pleasure to take this car out for a tool around
Morgantown, and it drove swimmingly. Rides like a dream (or like
you are on a Silver Cloud...OH WAIT!). Noted is the AC system has
been converted to R134 but needs a recharge. I also noticed the
passenger window is inoperable from the driver's side control.
Otherwise it was a smashing (thankfully the Brit version of this
word!) car to drive, and during the short jaunt, received several
waves and whistles, but it could have been our salesman Sir
Lawrence, who was in the passenger seat.
We have a really nice car here, in great low mileage condition,
maintenance records, owners' books in original leather pouch, tool
kit, and 2 cans of mineral oil, and a car cover. Go ahead live it
up! Chip chip cheerio and all that rot!
