1995 Silver Spur III Park Ward
This flying lady started her story as the personal vehicle of a corporate executive in Japan. From 2012-2022, it was in the personal collection of His Highness Sheik Nasser Mohamed Al-Ahmed Al Sabah who resides in Kuwait. After a five month engine rebuild and minor cosmetic restoration, it is now part of The Stuga Car Collection.
The Silver Spur was a longer-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit, the first model in Rolls-Royce’s SZ series, and was in production from 1981 to 1999.
Along with the other models in the SZ series, the Silver Spur was one of the last Crewe-built Rolls-Royces with truly British DNA running through it. The next generations of the ‘The World’s Best Car’ would be built by BMW in a new facility at Goodwood, England
It featured Rolls-Royce’s familiar four-door monocoque bodyshell, a smooth and powerful 6750cc V8 engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission, all-round independent suspension, adaptive ride control, power steering and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy mascot.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur III was manufactured between 1994 and 1996. The Mulliner Park Ward limousine variant (also known as the Silver Spur III Touring Limousine) was offered in 1994 and 1995. This particular vehicle was the last chassis built during the production run, carrying the chassis number SCAZW02C4SCX80137.
In two years only 36 examples of this stretched, coach-built limousine were constructed, making this one of the rarest of Rolls-Royces.
