Rolls Royce Silver Spur Centenary
First owned by Earl Spencer
1985 was the year in which England celebrated 100 years of motoring. It was the year too, when the 100,000th motor car having been finished by Rolls-Royce was celebrated by the manufacturer. All the Derby- and Crewe-built Bentleys were included in the production figure 100,000. It was but appropriate that the company intended to use the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Centenary side by side with the other ambassadors of British engineering at its best: the original 1907 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and the little 1905 Rolls-Royce 10hp. A limited series of 25 identical cars, equally lavishly equipped with not even silver decanters spared, were eagerly snapped up by collectors worldwide. This Rolls Royce Silver Spur Centenary was first owned by Edward the eighth Earl Spencer and father of Princess Diana. The car was bought by John Poynter after Earls Spencers death, which he used following a life long dream to own a special Rolls Royce. The car was then sold on to another enthusiast for the Rolls Royce marque.
