It featured a 6.75 liter V8 engine, a three speed automatic transmission, and a self leveling suspension system. Notable for its fuel injection system, (replacing carburetors in the US and Japan), and energy absorbing bumpers. Up for auction is this 1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur 4 door sedan. This car presents in very good condition with unknown mileage but with all the extravagant interior features of leather and wood fit for the world's most renowned luxury car. Exterior A light shade of yellow Rolls refers to as Magnolia covers the car in quality single stage shine standing handsomely with the contrasting cream vinyl top. The body is straight and the paint is good and the legendary Rolls-Royce grille is topped by the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament and flanked by dual halogen headlights over a straight chrome grille. In the back, broad tail lights occupy most of the latch panel, turning the corner slightly to be seen from the side. Chrome accents include the side mirrors, dual exhaust tips, and robust door handles. 15-inch wheels are dressed with hubcaps and trim rings, wrapped in white wall tires. Interior Tan leather is used on the door panels under sills of dark wood veneer. The driver's door shows some wear in the materials and the wood veneer is peeling on a few doors. Polished metal hardware adorn each door while lighters and ashtrays are afforded to the rear passengers, along with footrest wedges. A bit of patina on the leather bucket seats up front which are fully intact and thick, and the rear 2+2 seats follow suit. Burlwood veneer is the background for the gauge cluster and dashboard which is in good condition and toes deep brown carpet covers the floor. The trunk is also finished with thick brown carpet. Drivetrain Clean under the hood is the 6.75 liter V8 which utilizes a Bosch K-Jetronic injection system to help it produce 170 horsepower. Behind it, GM's TH400 3-speed automatic sends power to the rear axle and 3.07 gears. Naturally, power disc brakes are employed on this top tier luxury vehicle.
