I must retract my statement in an earlier post proclaiming that the Silver Spur must be painted a dark color. The Spur photographed for this article is beautiful. Gunnar, the venue for this photo shoot is absolutely perfect. It’s as though the car and the location were made for each other. Great article and photography.

Best,
Brad

Gunnar,

What a lovely article – so many things I didn’t know about the Silver Sirit/Spur! For instance, I never knew that the Spur is built on the old Silver Shadow Platform. I’d never thought of the Caprice-esque rear end either, but now that you mention it I see what you mean!

The third shot, of the grille in front of the eaves of the house works very well – the lines just seem to agree with one another.

Once again, many thanks for so enjoyable an article!

John.

The design changes of the early 80′s spoke to the changing tastes of younger buyers. In comparison, I wonder if today’s cars, technologically superior in many respects, will appear as timeless.

And an aside: The newer Rollers ride much higher losing some grace in the design.

Superb automobile. As classicly elegant today as when new.
