If you want to make an entrance at the country club, get a regular old Rolls-Royce. If you want to make an entrance in a city like Las Vegas, you’re going to need something truly unique. This 1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Limousine is anything but ordinary and is the kind of car that will grab attention everywhere it goes. Reportedly created by Royal Coach of Orange, California, this superstretch Silver Spur was built to deliver presence, luxury, and attention in equal measure. Located in Las Vegas, Nevada, it is offered as a Barn Finds Classified with an asking price of $60,000.
This Rolls-Royce is presumably powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and is listed at 94,000 miles. The seller describes the car as a custom limousine project rather than a finished showpiece, noting that it is currently in storage and will need recommissioning before regular use. It reportedly ran and drove previously, but currently needs a fuel pump, has hard steering, and needs the wheels reinstalled to get it rolling.
The exterior is finished in aging white paint with a worn cloth top, while the interior features blue leather and custom limousine appointments. Photos show the long coach-built body, extended passenger compartment, rear seating area, bar-style cabinetry, divider layout, and period luxury features. The overall presentation is more of an “unfinished statement piece” than actual transportation, but that may be exactly what makes it interesting to the right buyer.
The seller sees this limousine as the foundation for a larger vision, suggesting possibilities such as a promotional vehicle, luxury shuttle, rolling display, or even a modernized restomod with carbon and aluminum body upgrades or an EV conversion. Buyers may purchase the car as-is or discuss commissioning additional build work.
Also mentioned is the possibility of a larger Rolls-Royce project package that includes a 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III LWB, 1977 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, 1969 Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe, and 1973 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Interested buyers should contact the seller directly for details if considering the broader collection.
This 1984 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Limousine is not a conventional find. It’s going to take someone with imagination, resources, and a specific use case in mind. Whether finished as a rolling billboard, luxury event transport, or a custom restomod statement piece, this superstretch Rolls-Royce offers a dramatic starting point unlikely to be duplicated.
Wonder if the straps are keeping this creation from falling apart…$60k is a silly ask. If there ever was a need for 4WS, this would be it…
I have four wheel steering in my JDM RHD Celica convertible and dont really need or notice it. This “thing” though is just a magic hole that will swallow every wheelbarrow full of dollars you have and never be filled!
There’s one too many zeroes on that price tag.
Acres of blue vinyl inside and the windows don’t even remotely line up with the factory glass on the outside. This thing was a mess the day it was stretched, and time hasn’t helped it much.
Many of these “stretch limos” are scary builds at best. One of our repair facilities was across the street from several “big name hotels” and we were happy to maintain and repair their shuttle busses. But their stretch limos and Sprinter limo conversions were just plain “cool looking junk”. Many systems/items were high-school quality installs. And there were several times where we had to tear apart the original installations, figure out what they were trying to accomplish and then re-engineer an upgraded replacement. Luckily, our customers knew the quality of our work and didn’t cry about the length of time it took to repair their “customer movers”. One shuttle bus came in with the left rear turn signal inop. We ended up removing all the left side seats and then the wood paneling to find a shorted wire that had rubbed through a vertical metal brace and had arched until it burned through. (Lots of arched black “flame marks” on the reinforcement and the wood paneling. And that wasn’t the scary part. Just below the place where the wire rubbed through the reinforcement bracket was the fuel filler that used the same body bracket. And this was a V10 gas engine vehicle. PLUS, there was no fuses to protect the circuit! So besides the repair to the wire we also installed a fuse box for all the lighting and HVAC for the body aft. of the driver’s seat. And then, we had to install fuse boxes in their other 3 shuttle busses of the same manufacturer. Plus there was a stretched Denali that could never be made right without a complete gutting of the interior and a new PCM that would get shorted out (3 times) They ended up dumping it at a huge loss.
There is virtually no market for an obsolete stretch RR limo. With todays expensive insurance and strict inspections in most jurisdictions, rides like this are generally not a viable business asset. They are worth more as parts.
If you go looking, there are tired stretch SY and SZ Series Rollers around….Usually selling below $10K. Even if you got it really cheap, it would be (too) costly to keep going (I speak from RR/ limo owner experience ). When it does Fail To Proceed (guaranteed), towing will be complicated. Servicing will also be challenging as it is too long for almost any lift.
I agree with the lift issue. Luckily we had an extra long ramp alignment machine that we used for oul changes on the limos. But several were still too long for the ramps. They went to oil change places with pits. Alignments wete accomplished by parking the vehicle next to the alignment ramp and attaching the alignment heads there. Then you jacked up one corner to perform what you thought was correct, reinstall the wheel and let it down to recheck to see how you did. One of the stretched shuttle busses had a left side thrust angle off by alot. When lengthening the chassis they got it wrong by over an inch and a half. Gee, I wonder why the rear tires were weathering! PLUS we found on others that the vehicle was so heavy, that when under braking the front suspension was causing the front tires to toe out. That required some custom wound front springs.
I hope they made some money when the car was driving….. I wouldn’t want to know what the costs were in the actual vehicle and the stretching involved!
A note on stretched rides: When stretches became popular in the 80s, many companies got into the act with varying degrees of quality and safety engineering. While there were strict Federal safety standards for new vehicles, these were mainly unregulated. After a series of high-profile fatalities involving stretched vehicles with major safety/engineering defects, new US Federal laws were proposed (SAFE Limo Act) , but not yet enacted. Many States, like New York went ahead and drafted their own, as well as some municipalities. Canada is ahead (for a change) and basically requires stretch limos to meet the same standards as new vehicles. Regardless of jurisdictional rules, many commercial insurance companies are now reluctant to issue policies for stretched rides….especially old ones. Chances are the car the ’84 for sale here would Fail any current limo safety inspection.
Canada is ahead of the U.S. on a LOT of things.
That is hilarious.
As a lifelong canukstan resident , i totally disagree with your mainstream enemydia opinion
Park it in a mobile home community and rent it out.
The Monday pit
I my little dream world I can image how cool it would be if this mess was magically looking and working great. Vintage cool. The fun I could have showing up at parties and events. And then reality hits hard…
Imagine this as your escape from the queen of your double wide trailer when you two are on the outs. Nevermind. That’s as dumb as putting it back on the road.
Maybe the route for this vehicle is to go the opposite way… Take it and shorten it to maybe a coupe size with a short wheelbase! It might get more attention and then part the interior out as a Rolls Royce couch!!!! Hey! I recent saw and auction where a guy built a professional desk out the front end of a 60’s Cadillac! It went for $22K on BAT! People will buy anything different!!
There’s an idea we haven’t seen yet! A Roller Coupe’! Hey how about a Roller fastback (original Charger or Marlin style?) Going that far how about a Kammback/shooting brake?
I’m not a graphics guy. But I’m a good day dreamer! Scott are you there?
One would have to have an awful lot of drinks from that bar to make this thing look good…. and even more to think it’s worth 60 grand!
Josh, did you take this one on as a dare that you lost or something?
There is always the word “No” that can be told to a seller and preserve the integrity of what you represent. It is never going to sell for any amount, so no commission will be earned other than the meager ad placement fee.
60K must be a joke.
Seller wants to unload his r/r collectionnfor over $100 k , over the counter drugs are as dangerous as street drugs when taken in quantity, just sayin!
