West Coast Classics are proud to present a very collectible example
of this rare and extraordinarily low production model, a 1995 Rolls
Royce Flying Spur Turbocharged Long Wheel Base Sedan with only 50K
original miles in this most desirable and highly striking gorgeous
color combination of 'White' (Code ) exterior paint with a
luxurious 'Tan' (Code ) Connolly leather interior and a virtually
flawless and simply stunning interior with original matching
sheepskin rugs and a matching leather headliner! An uncompromising
head-turner which never fails to get compliments from all who see
her! Designed in late 1992, the final series of the Silver Spur was
introduced in 1995 as a 1996 model. Known internally as the Silver
Spur IV but interestingly not marketed as such internationally due
to the symbolism in the far east surrounding the suffix IV, where
it is a symbol of death. The majority of the cars built were
exported to the United States where the new Rolls Royce Silver
Seraph had been launched and which was meeting with some resistance
from buyers there. As of 1997 only a long wheelbase model was built
and the cars had upgraded 16" wheels. Only 507 of the fourth and
final series of the legendary Silver Spur were ever built to be
known as the Silver Spur IV and introduced in late 1995 and built
between the years 1995-9; these beautiful cars were the last
incarnations of the legendary Rolls Royce's built in Crewe, England
with new modern integrated front and rear bumpers, new sixteen inch
wheels and powered by the legendary 6.75L V8 Rolls Royce engine.
All that is except for the 'Flying Spur' of 1995 which could boast
being the only Rolls ever to be built with a Turbocharged engine.
The Rolls-Royce Flying Spur was a limited edition of the
Rolls-Royce Silver Spur and to assure exclusivity only some 50 cars
were scheduled to be built each with their own individual numbered
plaque, as does this example; # 7 of 50. Due to overwhelming demand
from the influential clientele of the Rolls Royce dealerships; the
final build actually is reported to have become 134 cars (92 LHD
export & 42 RHD cars).The Flying Spur was the first
Rolls-Royce ever to be built with a factory turbocharged engine. It
was a highly refined Silver Spur with a Bentley Turbo R drive
train. At least 50 examples got the numbered wooden panel in the
facia, including this particular car which is #17 of the initial 50
built. According to some sources the engine had 360 bhp, according
to others 400 bhp. Rolls Royce itself, with customary
understatement has traditionally never commented on any of their
vehicle's actual horsepower, preferring only to simply state that
it was 'more than adequate!' The chassis number of the limited
edition Flying Spur has the following unique designated stats: The
letter G on the fifth position of the VIN number. A consecutive
ending VIN number between 54602 and 55761.This particular example
will be sold with all its original owners manuals, tools and dealer
stamped service booklet, a clean CARFAX report showing long time
ownership and recent service history showing that at no time was
any expense spared on this particular vehicles preventive
maintenance. The car is finished in this highly striking color
combination of a White exterior matched to a 'Tan' leather
interior, with all the chromework, including the Rolls Royce grille
etc in absolutely outstanding condition, this car would be
virtually impossible to duplicate and you will probably never see
another one like it anywhere! The original and magnificent burled
walnut woodwork with its limited edition plaque is in absolutely
flawless condition throughout, as is the entire car. All the power
options and electric windows are working as they should and the air
conditioning system blows cold air! The Rolls Royce turbocharged
engine runs extremely strong and these cars are very fast - 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 against any car and it cruises at high speeds with absolute
ease. The transmission shift is almost imperceptibly smooth and the
temperature always remains cool. The 1995 Flying Spur, although a
large car by any standards, 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 ride is
truly luxurious from a high riding position and the soft feel of
the Flying Spur is like no other car on the road.This particular
model with only some 50K pampered original miles must be driven and
seen to be fully appreciated. Without a doubt you will look long
and hard to find a finer example of this very rare and very
collectible model of the most modern series of the Rolls Royce
line, with this particular example being an obviously always
garaged car with absolutely no issues whatsoever! 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,
and one of the rarest modern Rolls' ever built. Finished in this
stunning and classic color combination, 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!
