He visited Spencer Pressler at the Cerrito Motor Coach Limited RR dealership in San Jose. CA and together they generated order number RXL 8240. Rolls-Royce formally acknowledged the order on October 17. 1983 and set in motion the creation of a very special "one-off" Silver Spur. The fabled Hooper and Company Coachbuilders Ltd had been absorbed by Rolls-Royce circa 1970 and had become an in-house unit for special projects. The "St. James" edition was a tribute to their former premises established circa 1896 on St. James Street in London. Constructing this extraordinary Silver Spur required the better part of a year and the car was ultimately delivered to Mr. Markoulis on September 9. 1984. He drove the car sparingly over the first few years and the last repair order copy in the file dated April 27. 1987 notes just 1. 35 miles covered. At this time the car was essentially put to sleep in the family estate's garage. When we carefully removed the car from its resting place a few months ago. the odometer read just over 1. 40 miles. The special-ordered 2011 Maybach sitting next to it had just 575 miles on the odometer. This Rolls has been preserved in essentially as-new condition with virtually no evidence of wear. The vast expanse of leather remains supple and gorgeous. The extensive wood surfaces appear as new. The preserved condition of the underhood area and engine bay defies description. Paint and coachwork appear as new. The brightwork is superb. It remains a time-warp example of '80s extravagance that would be a meaningful addition to any unique Rolls collection. It is the only such example on the planet and is quite likely the lowest mileage Spur on the planet. Our few exploratory miles revealed the engine to run perfectly. AC to be nice and cold and most of the switchgear functioning correctly. The self-leveling rear suspension responded perfectly and the car sits correctly with zero bleed down. Tires are original and. as one would expect. seriously flat spotted. This amazing and entirely unique Rolls-Royce can be viewed in Burlingame. CA. 5 minutes south of SFO. Pre-purchase inspections are available locally and global shipping is easily arranged.
