1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

Presenting a very rare Rolls-Royce Silver Spur bespoked by the very best; Mulliner Park-Ward. On special order requests for VIP customers, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars would have Mulliner Park-Ward carry out bespoke designs and fitments to meet customer unique desires. As part of this arrangement, Rolls-Royce Motorcars arranged to have a limited number of these special editions made. This is one such car. The bespoke is purported to have cost in the order of $40,000 in 1990 which would have brought the car to a total in excess of $200,000 when new. Showing an incredibly low 23,000 miles, the car presents in virtual new condition. She is finished in Bordeaux with cream Connolly hides accented in deep plum. The interior is finished in the highest end and quality Connolly hides to include head-liner, rear parcel shelf and smaller pieces usually upholstered in lower end materials. The exterior is adorned with hand-crafted stainless-steel embellishers to the lower rocker panels continuing behind the rear wheels. Stainless trim also adorns the wheel arches. A feature normally reserved for the Corniche. Bumpers are Park-Ward color matched to the coachwork. Even the centre strips in the bumpers are highly polished stainless – not standard on regular Spurs. A badge bar is fitted to the front bumper, and all signatured off with a unique boot badge reading; “Silver Spur II Mulliner Park-Ward”. The interior of the car is where she truly excels in luxury. Firstly, note the extra wood paneling on all 4 doors. What you won’t notice straight away is two unique features. All the interior wood is “quad book-matched”. Normally on a Rolls-Royce it is half book-matched where the burl walnut wood is cut and mirror matched side-by-side at the centre point of the surface. Quad-matched is when the wood is mirrored in both the x and y direction creating a quasi kaleidoscope 4-way matching grain. This is a very labour-intensive process and as a result, very expensive to do. But to add to expense, or lack of concern for it, all the fine-line inlays on the wood, including the RR insignias on the door-rails are genuine sterling silver. These genuine silver in-lays adorn the door capping fascia, dash fascia, centre console, picnic tables and vanity mirrors. One can only imagine the dedicated craftsmanship that went into this – and the cost. It is truly beautiful and entirely unique to a Park-Ward bespoke example. The added features are plentiful abound. Each rear seat picnic table hides its only special feature. The left rear doubles as a card table lined in green felt with no less than 2 sets of Rolls-Royce playing cards. The right table sneakily hides a cigar humidor finished in the best Spanish cedar and housing a sterling silver Dunhill cigar cutter. Below both picnic tables, are two opening cocktail cabinets that fold out revealing 2 sterling silver and crystal-cut decanters and 2 tumblers. All the crystal is hand-cut, of course. They sit in a tray finished in polished mahogany and lined with green felt. Both front and rear armrests house two sperate mobile phones. When new, they were set-up with two separate numbered phones. The rear centre armrest also hides some wonderful surprises. In the lower section, where the second phone is housed, there are remote controls for the car’s stereo system. In front of that a hand-stitched and RR motif lined writing pad is neatly housed. Alongside a sterling silver writing pen aptly marked with the RR insignia. And should you wish to jot down some notes, the centre fold down has an exquisitely quad book-matches burl walnut finished writing surface. Then, the final touch is a refrigerator mounted between the two rear seat positions. The unit can accommodate 2 champagne bottles with ease. Interior lighting is supplemented by additional adjusting map/reading lamps located above the rear compartment vanity mirrors. These can be individually adjusted via a ball-joint mount. These are in additio
