Summary:
A dream car if you can afford the running costs
General Comments:
After 9 months of searching, I have found my perfect Silver Spur, a 1987 fuel injected one from the 20.000 series.
It had been preserved by the second owner for 12 years, who drove only 1000 km (!), but it was not maintained.
After a month of negotiating, I bought the car reasonably cheap, knowing that the costs to get it back to good condition would be higher than the purchase price.
I've read all RR Silver reviews on this site, and everything they say is true. It's a dream car, and every ride is pure joy.
But don't buy it if you cannot afford the running costs. It is expensive to get it in perfect condition, and it does consume a lot of fuel. That's why you seldom see any driving. I converted my car to run on gas (25L/100km!), which is why I can use it as a daily car. The driving experience is unique, and even driving non-RR addicts as passengers makes them surprised and convinced about this Silver Spur being the absolute top.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
