Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Robert Jankel's influence on Rolls-Royce vehicles was particularly notable in the realm of luxury customization and bespoke modifications. His company, Robert Jankel Design Ltd, specialized in making high-end alterations to already luxurious cars, elevating their exclusivity and appeal to elite clientele. Jankel's work on Rolls-Royce cars included both aesthetic enhancements and functional upgrades, tailoring these vehicles to the specific desires and requirements of their owners. 

This 1985 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Jankel Limousine is one such custom job, receiving a considerable extension from the standard Silver Spur. This executive limousine is finished in a stylish black tone, complimented by pinstriping and a white leather interior on green carpeting. The interior is loaded with an array of features embodying 1980’s excess; deeply cushioned limo-style rear seats, a CRT television, cassette tape players and an intercom.  

Jankel’s modifications were meticulous, involving bespoke interiors and enhanced functionalities, all while preserving the vehicle's quintessential grace. Through his ventures, Jankel redefined automotive luxury, merging his design acumen from fashion with his love for cars to create timeless masterpieces.
