TO BE SOLD TO OUT OF STATE BUYERS OR DEALERS ONLY DUE TO CALIFORNIA SMOG EMISSIONS 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. 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!
