AI Listing Summary

This 1995 Rolls-Royce Flying Spur is a rare, right-hand drive model (1 of 42) with only 18,000 miles. It features a turbocharged engine, coachbuilt Mulliner Park Ward options, and a luxurious interior with unique specifications. Recently recommissioned mechanically, it presents a unique opportunity for collectors.
