While there are more than a few high-end luxury car manufacturers in the world there's really only one that is undisputed as the world's finest automaker. From Atlanta to Abu Dhabi the Rolls-Royce name is universally recognized as the symbol of uncompromising quality and extravagant luxury. To the handful of people fortunate enough to be able to afford one of these magnificent motorcars the reward is a driving experience unlike any other. For the rest of us well perhaps waiting nearly 30 years for them to become affordable is the best way to sample the good life.This 1986 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur is a gorgeous example of the Crewe factory's art. Finished in cream with a tan padded roof this near perfect paintwork quietly represents the calm elegance that is expected from the Spirit of Ecstasy. The company's careful dedication to craftsmanship is seen from every angle with a sedan that continues to fit together beautifully. The doors open and close with a precision that has to be experienced to be believed and the panel alignment is the result of one very fussy gentleman sweating the details until everything was exactly right. It is this kind of attention to detail that makes a Rolls-Royce command respect everywhere it goes and it is still very present in this piece today.Open the door and it is a luxurious greeting of burled walnut Connolly leather and lamb's wool. The reason for choosing the exterior paint is immediately known because the interior colors not only perfectly correspond with the outside motif but it also is the perfect coordinating match for the forest on the dash panels. The view from behind the glossy black wheel is a great reminder how true craftsmanship should be. It includes power windows power seats power locks and AM/FM/CD player. The climate control even recently went through an expensive switchover to R134a to make sure the air conditioning is working perfectly. But this is not a car strictly built for the front seat. The Silver Spur is the long-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit which means there is exceptional luxury in the rear seating - after all the owners of these cars are not necessarily the drivers. Not only does the Silver Spur have more legroom but it also comes with footrests and tray tables so that this sedan can be used for everything from business travel to backgammon. The smooth running 6.75-liter V8 under the hood is a staple of Rolls-Royce luxury and this one has only averaged 2300 miles per year. The fuel-injected engine was built to always have power in reserve. Its might is delivered not like a muscle car but more like an express train. The engine bay looks as complicated as the inner workings of a Swiss watch but it also starts with a similar whisper-quite tickover. Rolls Royce engineers went to great lengths to isolate the mechanical workings from passengers and as a result the engine is highly refined going about its business with a minimum of fuss. This is luxury for trips of all sizes thanks to a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission power steering and cruise control. The fully independent suspension has a self-leveling feature that keeps the big sedan on an even keel no matter what the load and it stays sure-footed with four-wheel disc brakes.Prestige at an affordable price this well-maintained and fully sorted Rolls-Royce is a very affordable way to purchase extreme luxury.
