For nearly two decades it gave owners a slice of British luxury – whether they were in the driver's seat or, more often, the back. When the Silver Spur arrived in 1980, it wasn't shouting about horsepower or gadgets – it was simply a more graceful way to travel. Stretched over the Silver Spirit's bones, it gave passengers an extra measure of legroom and turned the rear cabin into a lounge on wheels. Production ran until 1999. Buyers today can find everything from the early carburetted models to later fuel-injected cars that feel a touch more modern. What really sets the Spur apart is its personality. That 6.75-litre V8 doesn't roar – it sighs contentedly, carrying two tonnes of hand-built steel and wood with barely a ripple. The ride is famously smooth, the doors close with a reassuring weight and the whole car glides rather than drives. Line it up against a Bentley Eight or a contemporary Mercedes S-Class, and the Rolls wins not by spec sheets – but by presence. It's a car that makes even a trip to the shops feel like a state occasion.
