Dressed up in a sharp two-tone gray with an Everflex vinyl roof, it's got that classic British look outside and a brown Connolly leather interior that screams old-school luxury. With just 44,000 miles on the clock, this Silver Spur is up for grabs in a no-reserve auction – so someone's about to score a seriously well-kept slice of SZ-era Rolls-Royce history.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerWhat It's Worth Right NowAccording to Classic.com market data, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur has an average sale price of $20,095 over the past year, based on 26 recorded sales. The lowest recorded sale came in at $4,400, while the highest reached $50,500. The most recent completed sale closed at $45,250, showing that well-kept examples continue to command stronger prices than average.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat price spread says a lot. Tired, high-mileage Silver Spurs can still be had for pocket change, but the low-mileage, well-documented cars are starting to climb the ladder. If you want one in a cool color with a fat stack of service records, expect some competition – especially now that 1980s luxury is having a moment.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerThis Missouri-based Silver Spur, with only 44,000 miles and a clean Carfax, is definitely playing in the big leagues. Dealer listings for similar cars run from about $23,000 for a 53,000-mile '87 to $29,000 for a 47,000-mile '86, and if you want a truly mint later model, you're looking at $49,000 to almost $60,000.Condition and DetailsUnder the hood sits Rolls-Royce's legendary 6.75-liter V8, now with Bosch K-Motronic digital fuel injection, hooked up to a TH400 three-speed auto sending power to the back wheels. You get four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and that signature self-leveling suspension – basically, all the ingredients for the Silver Spur's famously silky ride.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerOutside, you get a two-tone gray paint job, Everflex vinyl roof, red pinstripes, and of course, the Spirit of Ecstasy leading the way. Step inside and it's brown Connolly leather with white piping, burl walnut everywhere, power seats, automatic climate, rear picnic tables, a Motorola car phone, and a Coustic cassette stereo – basically, everything you'd want in a mid-80s luxury flagship.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerRecent maintenance? It's got plenty. The steering rack was swapped in 2020, front wheel bearings got some love in 2022, and the high-pressure power steering hose was replaced in August 2026. There's also a fresh oil pan gasket, new spark plugs, battery, belts, and a recent oil change. The seller says you get partial service records, a clean Carfax, and a Missouri title.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe OfferSpecificationDetailMakeRolls-RoyceModelSilver SpurYear1986Mileage44,000 milesEngine6.75-liter V8 with Bosch K-Motronic fuel injectionTransmissionTH400 three-speed automaticDrive TypeRear-wheel driveExterior ColorTwo-tone Gray with Everflex vinyl roofInterior ColorBrown Connolly leather with white pipingNotable FeaturesSelf-leveling suspension, automatic climate control, rear picnic tables, Motorola carphone, Coustic cassette stereo, burl walnut trimLocationChesterfield, MissouriInterested in this Rolls-Royce Silver Spur?

You got more room in the back without messing up those classic lines, so it was a hit with anyone who wanted limo comfort but didn't want to drive an actual limo. The styling? Still looks sharp today, especially next to some of the other boxy luxury cars from the era.1986 Rolls-Royce Silver SpurBring a TrailerForget today's tech-heavy, horsepower-obsessed Rolls-Royces – the Silver Spur is all about craftsmanship. Connolly leather, real walnut, thick carpets, shiny chrome, and those rear picnic tables make for a kind of old-school luxury you just don't see anymore. The V8 is all about smooth torque, not speed, and the ride is still what sets this car apart.Final ThoughtsThis Silver Spur ticks a lot of the right boxes for anyone hunting an entry-level classic Rolls-Royce. 44,000 miles is barely a warm-up for a car pushing forty, and the maintenance history backs up its claim as a pampered survivor – not some forgotten luxury barge.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith no reserve, the hammer price is anyone's guess. The market still shows a big gap between average cars and the really clean, low-mileage ones, so if you've been daydreaming about a classic British luxury sedan, this is one auction to keep an eye on.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
