Just 44000 miles Concours winner at 2024 RREC (Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club), , A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Austrian-born Fritz Feller. Although derived from that of the preceding Silver Shadow, the newcomers floorpan offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its novel Girling automatic ride-height control and gas shock absorbers. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewes engineers kept intrusion from the 6¾-litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the models reputed 120mph potential was explored). Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Only in production between 1980 and 1989, just 8,129 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Saloons are understood to have been made. , Without doubt the most graceful and stately car of its generation (excepting other Rolls-Royces), this Silver Spirit comes to us in an exemplary condition which has received just recognition in the Rolls-Royce world. Elegantly finished in Light Oyster with Walnut coach lines, with the interior trimmed in Cream Beige Connolly hide with Dark Brown piping, carpets and lambswool rugs, plus burr walnut veneers with boxwood inlays, it epitomises British luxury.

It has documented service history from 1997, performed by main dealers and marque specialists. Much money recently spent with a well-respected Rolls-Royce specialist who has undertaken sympathetic renovations, including mechanical servicing, painting the sills and wheel arch edges with Raptor protective coating, detailing and Waxoyling the underside, refurbishing the wheels and fitting a new alternator, power-steering rack, hydraulic accumulators, battery and tyres. Consequently, the Spirit was placed second in judging for the Class 16 Trophy at the 2024 RREC Rally, and its restorer was honoured with the Harry Ferguson Wood Trophy. Appearing with a showroom-fresh interior, this is surely one of the best Spirits currently on the market.
