1985 Rolls Royce Silver Spur review from North America
"If you can afford it, don't be afraid to own one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust gasket needed replacement.
Small crack in the exhaust pipe had to be welded. An inexpensive repair.
Windshield washer motor wiring has a fault and needs to be investigated.
General comments?
This is a magnificent automobile and a total pleasure to own and drive. While the costs may be a bit higher than other luxury automobiles, this car is worth every penny it takes to keep it in top running form (provided you can afford it, of course). The ultimate in driving pleasure and prestige on the road.
The only hassle is acquiring parts and repairs can take a bit longer to complete.
