Big Sur Estate Wagon?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Oh! Add a letter to one of the words you've used and you've got 50% of the answer  ;)

Spur instead of Sur?
Yes, indeed.  So, to summarize, we now know that this station wagon conversion was the work of Classic Coachwork in 1981, with two of the words from the car's model name being Estate and Spur (though not necessarily in that order!), so...

No, and as a clue, Silver is not one of the missing words.

Actually that much we already knew from previous answers!  It's a RR Silver Spur Estate but we need to find 4 words that constitute the model name (one of them being 'Estate' but not including any of the others mentioned above...)

Sources indicate it is a 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur modified by Classic Coachworks, but none of that should be worth a lock.
I will lock it for you for one reply as it is from the early 1980s, and it was a Silver Spur modified by Classic Coachworks, so just its 'official' name needed.

No.  I suspect the word No is going to appear quite often here, so to save time and space, if fellow AP users want to keep on guessing, I will respond if and when someone gets closer to the answer.

OK.
Seems like we were barking up the wrong tree thinking it was named after a town, and it was only when I asked about West Coast Ranch that I seemed to be getting warmer.

So should I be looking for a geographical feature like the Coast, or something more like a Ranch?  Is it named after a mountain, or a desert of some feature like that?

I've Googled every possible word to find this car, knowing it's a Rolls Royce, is by Classic Coachworks, is based on a Silver Spur and has 'Estate' in its name, but nothing at all comes up.  So is the answer in fact out there on the 'Net?  If it is why one earth doesn't it show up when Googling for a Rolls Royce Spur Estate?!

It's not named after a town/city, but rather a geographical location. I've not tried Googling this car, as I found it in a book, but it has appeared in print form in various other sources too.

Ah ha, Western is one of the four model name words, so just one more to find (ideally in the correct order please!).
