These Silver Spirits are not so often seen anymore and it is truly a delight to come across such an original presenting example such as this one. Especially with a modest 56,000 odd miles.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed and built V8 engine with the Bosch fuel injection system which provides ultra smooth touring.
This example is very clean and presents original in almost every detail.
A very clean 3-owner example that started life in Florida where most of her miles were clocked. The second owner held her in a private collection for some 20 years covering minimal miles before selling to the last owner in California from where we acquired her. She has a perfectly clean Carfax history, regularly serviced with anything requiring doing, attended to. Recently, all the hydraulics and braking system were inspected and serviced as required.Under the bonnet, the presentation is very clean. It has not been precision detailed but simply well-kept and maintained throughout its life. The car throughout, under the bonnet and underside look every bit of a low mileage Rolls-Royce.
The body of the car is straight, clean and totally accident free. The car has had some paint over the years but presents very consistent with a high gloss, deep lustre and pretty much without issues. There are a couple of imperfections here and there but nothing extraordinary.
Outside of this, all glass, rubbers, mouldings, stainless, badges and external fittings are all in good condition.
One thing that really stands this Spirit apart from most others in the US is the fitment of original and factory correct rectangular glass headlamps. These replace the rather unattractive 4 x rectangle sealed-beam (alla-Cadillac look) headlights which were a US-mandated specification at the time. The form-fit rectangular units now fitted is how the designers intended the car to present and, in fact, were used for the rest of the world (“ROW”) - the difference is outstandingly better.
The interior on this car is without issue and simply gorgeous and completely original in presentation. The un-touched factory original Connolly leather shows beautifully with just the right amount of natural patina. It all presents very clean with the seat leather supple and soft.
The Wedgewood blue contrast on the seat piping, the dash top-roll and the rear parcel shelf are a very elegant touch. This combined with a brand new set of matching factory-correct light blue lambswool floor ugs, completes the look. A very elegant and cosy welcome that contrasts extremely well with the Light Ocean Blue exterior.
Carpets, seats, dash, rear parcel shelf, fixtures and fittings are truly nice and I best encourage you to look at all the photos to fully appreciate how well the interior presents.
The dash wood has some hairline fractures in the finish but I believe they do not warrant refinishing. The door cappings appear to have been redone and although not done to exacting perfection of the Rolls-Royce standard, present acceptably. If you are a real fuss-pot, then let us know and we can refinish them to original. Please see photos. (Park-Ward does this in-house so please enquire if this is your desire).
As part of Park-Ward's maintenance program, “Predelivery Commissioning” will ensure all major and minor services are done, right down to new tyres and battery. In addition, all electricals and features & functions are inspected to ensure everything is operating as it should; windows, mirrors, A/C, heater, lights, wipers, etc. Prior to delivery to her new care-taker, the “Predelivery Commissioning” process is undertaken to ensure she is a true, "take the keys and drive" example with no additional budget needed to attend to nuances or gremlins.
The car is of very high standard and is an easy 8/9 out of 10 driver rating. She is a very elegant example of the early Spirit model with few, in this fine condition, remaining these days.
~~ This is a very elegant presenting Silver Spirit finished in a wonderfully elegant colour combination and sporting the “ROW” headlamps that finish the car off perfectly. She would make a wonderful weekend driver or to add to a British collection representing the marque of the 1980s. ~~
We have sold many Rolls-Royces around the world so all international buyers are very welcome!
