AutoHunter Spotlight: 1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1997 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, which is powered by a turbocharged 6.75-liter V-8 connected to a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Magnolia and equipped with a tan vinyl top over a beige Connolly leather interior, this long-wheelbase ultra-luxury sedan is now offered by the private seller in Connecticut with an owner’s manual, extensive service records, AutoCheck report, and clear title. The video below shows an exterior walk-around and the engine being started.

The Silver Spur was the long-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit. According to the seller, this Mark IV Silver Spur has always been driven by a chauffeur. The Magnolia body is capped off with a tan vinyl top. Features include Rolls-Royce’s signature “Pantheon” grille and Spirit of Ecstasy radiator ornament, bright trim, custom pinstriping, power mirrors with bright caps, and dual exhaust outlets.

This Rolls wafts down the road on a set of 16-inch factory wheels wrapped in 236/65 Avon CR227 whitewalls.

The interior is a vast expanse of beige Connolly leather upholstery with white piping, glossy woodgrain trim, and metal hardware. Comfort and convenience features include cruise control, power steering and brakes, power-adjustable heated front seats with memory, air conditioning, AM/FM radio with cassette player, period Motorola car phone, rear-seat tray tables, heated rear seats, and removable second-row footrests. The seller notes that the air conditioning system was repaired and charged in August 2025.

Instrumentation consists of a 150-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, voltage, temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer currently shows 45,260 miles, which is slightly more than the AutoCheck report’s latest mileage figure of 43,312 miles logged in August 2021.

A turbocharged 6.75-liter V-8 connected to a four-speed automatic gets this Silver Spur and its lucky passengers to fine dining establishments, high-end department stores, and luxurious resorts. Power four-wheel disc brakes help ensure everyone gets there in one piece.
