Touring Limousine

This chauffeur-oriented stretched limousine emerged in the early SZ-era Rolls-Royce line as a coachbuilt interpretation of the Silver Spur, created with Mulliner Park Ward and associated with Robert Jankel’s design work. It was introduced for the 1992 model year as a limited-production successor to the Phantom VI and to the earlier 42-inch stretch limousines, giving Rolls-Royce a modern, smaller-format formal car for markets that still wanted traditional rear-seat luxury. The concept continued through successive iterations in the mid-1990s as the Silver Spur evolved, with the name and specification adjusting to each generation but the basic mission remaining the same: an extended-wheelbase Rolls-Royce for private and diplomatic transport. Later versions included even more specialized stretches, culminating in the final 1997-1998 48-inch stretch cars built in very small numbers. Across its run, the model remained a low-volume, bespoke limousine rather than a mass-produced derivative, and it occupies an important place in Rolls-Royce history as the bridge between the grand Phantom VI era and the company’s later coachbuilt chauffeur cars.
