Encounter: Rolls-Royce Silver Spur. A Classy and Elegant Ride.

There's nothing more exciting than running into amazing timepieces or posh classic cars while going for a walk. This time it's the turn for a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur—also known as Silver Spirit—parked a few steps away from the Hermès, Prada and David Yurman boutiques located in Chicago's exclusive boutique row on Oak street, right between Michigan avenue and Rush street. 

This beautiful car from the 80s is in mint condition and features one of our favorite color combos in ivory cream with a chocolate brown top. The interior also in dark brown with magnificent wood trim makes this automobile a true classic and a perfect example of a time machine.

The Silver Spur, was introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1980 and was the first new generation of models for the company. The chassis on this car is the same chassis that was also used by Bentley on their Mulsanne series. 

With a 6.75 liter V8 engine with automatic transmission, the Silver Spur continues to offer the powerful, yet smooth and quiet ride prevalent across all Rolls-Royce cars.
