1983 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur

 

 The pictures below, are to show you the beautiful wood trim that Rolls-Royce included in the interiors of all their Silver Spur models.

 

Rolls-Royce owners are finding that their Silver Spur's are starting to show their age, and when their woodwork needs restoring they turn to us.  The same thing is true with collectors. 

The woodwork from these models are some of the more popular sets we get into our facility for restoring.

Often owners think that the color of the wood in their car is the color it has always been, but over time and exposure to light, all wood changes in color.  Silver Spurs came with Burled Walnut veneer, and it is typical for that species to slowy change - first to theorangish-red / rust color and eventually to having more yellow hues.

But once we restore your woodwork for you, the color returns to more of the medium-dark brown - closer to how it was when new.

The woodwork in this Silver Spur has faded and changed from its' original medium-dark brown to an orangish-red / rust color...which is different in color from its' original medium-dark brown to the color you see it.

The woodwork in this Silver Spur has faded and changed in color from its' original medium-dark brown to the color you see it.....almost yellow in color.

From a distance the woodwork in this Silver Spur (pictured above) appears to be in good condition.  Yes, its' color has changed considerably and at first glance it looks ok.

BUT - upon closer inspection you can see that the clear finish has reached the end of its' effective life and needs to be restored by us.

 

Below are pictures of the same dashboard and the other wooden trim components from that car.
 
If you look closely, you can see the cracks in the finish of this dashboard.

Below are the Door Cappings for this car.  They have been Refinished and reinstalled.  What a difference a new finish makes !!!

Picnic Tables were a nice touch of luxury and convenience for the Silver Spur owner.  The "cross-banding" around the outer perimeter of the picnic tables, adds to the beauty.
 
From this distance, the picnic tables look good.......

But like the other woodwork in this Silver Spur, the ravages of time had taken its' toll.

Each of the Picnic Tables had cracks in the finish - on both the front and backs of the tables.

Not to worry !!!!!  If your woodwork is starting to show its' age....

.....we are here to help you get it back to looking "Showroom New".!!!
