In 1980, RollsRoyce introduced two new cars to their lineup: the Silver Spirit and the longwheelbase version Silver Spur. Although the bodies were completely new, the chassis was essentially identical to the previous Silver Shadow but with a new selfleveling suspension. The factory offered even longer limousine versions of the Silver Spur such as this example.

This particular car was originally owned by the late singer Whitney Houston, often referred to as 'the RollsRoyce of soul voices.' She purchased the car through her music publishing company Nippy Inc. and used it extensively for her daily activities. Among the car's features is a division window, TV/VCR, and a wet bar with crystal glasses.
