Trasco International of Germany was an '80s coachbuilder best known for its often flambouyant conversions to Mercedes-Benz including gullwing coupes and stretch limousines with armoured protection.
While the majority of conversions were on Mercedes, Trasco also offered coachbuilt Rolls-Royce Silver Spur stretch limousines.
Here's a photo from a Trasco brochure of a Silver Spur with an 18-inch stretch:
And here we have photos of an actual car.
It's a 1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur II, chassis #LCX32400, also an 18-inch stretch:
The treatment of the centre stretch is a litte different in detail from the brochure photo:
And it has a sun-roof above the rear seat:
The interior incorporates a custom centre console to both the front and rear compartments:
And the specification includes division, TV, VHS video and curtains:
It appears to have been a Gulf (Middle East) specification car at outset:
And has a Trasco treadplate:
I wonder how many other examples exist? Not many, I'm sure...

Could you tell me where you got these pictures from. i have seen these same pictures, being used of a car that is for sale on the internet, that I am interested in buying. I was assuming that these are of the actual car that is for sale.
Could you please email me direct cdavis@direct.ca
The car is located in Tokyo and being advertised on several Japanese car sales websites, it also listed on eBay in the US at present but at a much higher price to reflect shipping and tax
