Rolls Royce unveiled an
entirely new modern design for 1980 after a long 16 year run of the previous
Silver Shadow. Although not entirely new, the Silver Spur/Spirit featured many
new upgrades in the way of technology, electronics, engine management systems
and all around comfort. The familiar and venerable 6.75 litre V8 engine was
placed in the new model matted to the GM sourced THM 3-speed and the companies
completely revised self leveling hydraulic rear suspension. The new system was
very similar to the previous Silver Shadow’s suspension but Rolls Royce used a
Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system with gas charged shock
absorbers making the ride far superior and more reliable than the Silver
Shadows. The Silver Spur was the long wheelbase model which sold alongside the
short wheelbase Silver Spirit model. The two new cars marked a very important
time for Rolls Royce/Bentley, they were to be the platforms of the new models
that would come for the next two decades.
Up for sale is a
stunning 1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur Saloon finished in its original Magnolia
paint work over original Brown Connolly leather with contrasting Magnolia piping
and a Brown Everflex roof. This Silver Spur left the Crewe production line in
January of 1982 and was invoiced to North America where it was then sent to
Albers Rolls Royce in Zionsville Indiana. The car sold to its first owner in
early 1982 and lived in Franklin Park Illinois with the first owner until
moving to Arizona in 1988 with the second and final owner. The car has been in
Arizona most of its life and has traveled a mere 27,330 actual miles from brand
new. The original Magnolia Lacquer paint is in exceptional condition and does
not show any scratches, dents or dings anywhere on the body. The body is laser
straight and free from any rust or corrosion or any damage. All of the chrome
and trim are in exceptional condition and show almost no signs of wear or age.
The Everflex roof is all original and still in excellent condition and free
from any scrapes, tears, fade or damage. The Brown Connolly leather interior is
in beautiful condition, the leather is still soft and supple and all of the
piping is intact and free from any damage or wear. The drivers seat shows
extremely minimal creasing and shows no signs of damage, cracking or fade. All
of the wood is absolutely exceptional and free from any fading or cracking
anywhere. Even the door rails are near showroom condition. The original
headliner is beautiful and free from any damage or stains and all of the
original carpet show extremely minimal use. The dashboard is free from any wear
or damage and the leather is still very soft and free from any shrinkage. All
of the interior switch gear and trim are all in excellent condition showing
almost no use. All of the electrical equipment on the car is still in proper
working order including all of the dash lights, interior lights, exterior
lights and all turn signals and side marker lights. The power antenna only goes
up part way but still works. All of the windows, door locks, power seats, radio
and AC are all in proper working order. The car just had a brand new battery
placed in the car and the tires and brakes are all showing about 75%-80% life
left. This Silver Spur starts right up and idles superbly without any
hesitation or smoking. The car goes into gear with ease and shifts through all
of its gears without any hesitation or issues. All of the hydraulic brakes and
suspension are in proper working order and the rear leveling suspension levels
as it was designed. The brakes feel solid and free from any fade or issues. The
suspension feels excellent on the car, very smooth and free from any kinds of
noises. The steering is very tight and free from any drifting or pulling. This
car has just received a major tune up and service from a trained Rolls Royce
technician and is ready to go. This Rolls Royce comes with all of its original
owners manuals, dealer books, service books, warranty books and even key card.
Two sets of original Rolls Royce keys, a complete set of original tools, jack
and spare all present with the car. This is one of the nicest Silver Spurs on
the market and is a completely unmolested complete original car.

Befitting a creature called the Ghost, it was there and then it wasn't: Rolls-Royce dropped a few details and a picture of the 2013 Ghost, then removed all trace of it from the corporate site. The Internet can't keep a secret, though, so we have the goss on a carryover sedan with a few upgrades.
Next year's model takes its inspiration and several new tricks from the Ghost Six Senses concept revealed at the Beijing Motor Show earlier this year. The new natural grain leather, cross-banded wood veneers and "exciter" (high-range) speakers come straight from the concept. A new alloy wheel option is also available, but the single press photo doesn't show the same alloys used on the Six Senses car. Not shown in Beijing but on the menu for the coming sedan is Comfort Access, the ability to open the trunk by waving your foot under the rear bumper as long as you have the key on your person. It is the first Rolls-Royce to get the option.
The price gets an upgrade, too, rising $7,050 to $260,750. Part of the increase is in the gas-guzzler tax, which climbed to $2,100 from $1,700 because of a new EPA calculations for fuel economy. As if you'd be worried about gas when you own a Ghost, but just in case, it will return 13 miles per gallon city and 21 mpg highway.

Those of you that took our tip and tuned in for last night's Academy Awards may have caught the latest iteration of the famous Grey Poupon commercials, featuring a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans and their condiment-loving stewards. The update to the 1981 commercial was only shown in part on television, however, as the mustard company directed viewers to its website to see the entirety of the Lost Footage spot. Of course if you didn't bother then, you can just scroll down to see the full-length two-minute commercial here.
As you're viewing, note that the Grey Poupon marketers did not, it would appear, get official sanction from Rolls-Royce this time around. While the Rollers in the commercial have all sorts of James Bond-like accouterments, they don't appear to have the official Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornaments, for example, and they have restyled lights and grilles. Check out the new spot below, and see if it stacks up to the iconic Pardon Me original.

While all the gory details surrounding the new Rolls-Royce coupe - including its true name, "Corniche" is just a savory-sounding best guess right now - are still shrouded in mystery, this new set of clandestinely foraged images proves that the car probably won't be a slouch in terms of performance.
The Ghost-based Roller was spotted on the Nürburgring Nordschleife recently, demonstrating its sporting chops at the same time it was showing off it's impressive patrician nose. Expectations are that, when the new coupe is shown off for real at the Geneva Motor Show in March of next year, that nose will belong to the fastest production car to ever wear the Spirit of Ecstasy.
Indications are that the Corniche will be rocking a turbocharged V12, making in the ballpark of 600 horsepower, and using an eight-speed transmission.
