SUMMARY
One of the world's most expensive cars when launched, this striking Silver Spur wears its 223,000 miles well and is being offered at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The long wheelbase Silver Spur (LWB) carried over the basic design of the Silver Shadow II and utilised the same 6.75-litre L410 V8 and GM-sourced THM400 3-speed automatic gearbox
- This venerable example is finished in Ivory over a classic RR interior in Magnolia hide piped in brown
- Purchased new and owned by the billionaire publisher, the late Felix Dennis, until 2015 when his Chauffeur bought the car from the estate
- Sadly the book pack was lost, however there are four full sheets of A4 listing work carried out over the years and dated chronologically back to December 1988 when it had its first service
- The Registration Number, 9999 FD, does not form part of the sale but is available by separate negotiation
- The car's condition belies the numbers on the odometer, looking more like a car that has covered just 60,000 miles
- Consequently, it's being offered at No Reserve and could well be tremendous value for money for a car of this stature with a certain literary provenance
