1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

This car is offered from outside of the European Union. It has been imported under temporary admission customs bond and is therefore subject to Dutch import tax (9%) on top of the winning bid price. Cars less than 30 years old will pay 10% Dutch import tax plus 21% VAT on the hammer. If exporting immediately to another country, then tax/duty will only be paid in that country.

The winning bidder will pay €500 customs charge on top of the ‘hammer’ price.

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their proof of purchase.

This vehicle has been on static display in the Middle East for a number of years and the only history or paperwork available is displayed in the photo gallery. In all cases the papers shown are photocopies unless otherwise stated. We do not have the original paperwork.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not tried to start or drive the car and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. The car is not registered anywhere.

It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

As CARS Europe BV is the guarantor of all customs duties and taxes for vehicles within Dutch customs bond, the car cannot be released until full payment received.

All storage charges (€30 + local VAT per day commencing from the sixth day following the auction end) must be paid in full prior to the vehicle’s collection or onward transportation. Collection and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

Please send an email to the storage centre to ensure vehicle(s) are ready at time of collection. Photographic ID will be required at time of collection. If a third party is collecting for you, then written authorisation is required in advance from you and photographic ID of the third party is required at the time of collection.

CARS Europe BV will contact you after the balance payment is received to confirm onward transport requirements. For enquiries about import tax and shipping contact Madam Joanna Herlihy, +31 (0) 252 682 526, +44 7483 433912, [email protected].

In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, this 1992 LHD auto Rolls-Royce Silver Spur comes with no history or service records.

It has 45,706 kms on its odometer.

It was delivered new to Switzerland and bought for the vendor’s collection of static display cars in 2016. A windscreen sticker says that it was in Kuwait in 1990.

The good news is that this low-kilometres car is, as far as we can tell, in very decent overall condition.

We haven’t started or driven the car, so our appraisal of it is entirely based on its cosmetic appearance.

The bodywork is very good and is largely free of any dinks, dents, creases or folds of any significance.

The red paintwork is equally impressive and has successfully resisted the shade’s tendency to fade.

The car’s chrome work, trim, lights, badging and exterior fixtures and fittings are all in decent order.

There’s some paint missing on the leading edge of the front passenger door and a scuff on the door behind it.

There’s also some paint missing on the front edge of the bonnet and a few stone chips here and there in the usual places.

Neither the driver’s door nor both passenger side doors currently close properly.

Some of the rubber trim around the front passenger door has become detached.

The interior is unusual – we can’t recall ever seeing a Rolls-Royce with red velour/velvet seats.

The seats are excellent, both front and back, with only a few marks here and there as evidence of the car’s age and use.

The seats are comfortable and supportive, as you would expect.

The door cards are also in good order, as is the headlining.

The carpets are fine on the driver’s side but, somewhat inexplicably, are completely shredded on the passenger side, both front and back.

The wood veneers have cracks to the lacquer on the dashboard and glovebox, and there are some sections missing completely on the door cappings.

The dashboard and instruments look fine, although we can’t make any claims about the full functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t started or driven the car.

The clean, dry engine and engine bay look fine and the undersides of the car appear to have plenty of structural integrity.

This car comes with no history and no service records.

It must be registered in the country of your choice and you will need to contact the appropriate vehicle licensing agency for instructions on how to do this.

No documents shown in the gallery in any way constitute any kind of licensing or registration certification unless otherwise stated.

This splendid low-kilometres Rolls-Royce Silver Spur seems to us to be in really very decent condition, provided, of course, that the engine, electrics and mechanicals are amenable to recommissioning and as good as the rest of it.

We’re confident to offer this car for auction with an estimate of €6,000 - €10,000.

Viewing is always encouraged, and this particular car is located in a bonded warehouse in Amsterdam. To arrange an appointment please use the Contact Seller button at the top of the listing.
