About this car

This is a late Silver Spur Touring Limousine from 1998, described as being among the last of the line. It is a left-hand-drive car with a division between the front and rear compartments, a combination that is uncommon in the UK market.

It was supplied new to Japan, where it covered very few miles, and was later bought by a European collector who used it sparingly. The odometer reads about 10,000 miles. It is finished in dark metallic blue over cream leather piped in grey, with royal blue carpets and lambswool over-rugs. The burr walnut extends to the occasional tables and cocktail cabinet.

The car is not registered in the UK, and European taxes are stated as paid. The dealer says it will be fully serviced before delivery. The page shows an "Accepted" marker beside the price, which suggests an offer has already been agreed.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Only the basic layout is given: the 6.75-litre V8 is the known Rolls-Royce SZ-platform engine, front-mounted with rear-wheel drive. Rolls-Royce did not publish a power figure for this period. I could not confirm official weight, performance, aspiration or build-number figures for the 1998 Touring Limousine, so those are null.).

Engine: 6,750 cc, 8 cylinders
