Impressive 6.75L powerplant with 3-speed automatic transmission
The Appeal
In 1980, Rolls-Royce rolled out a full range of new cars to suit the elite's changing tastes - the Silver Spirit was the first of these, and acted as the backbone for the entire collection. Packed with hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, modified with a ride height control system and gas-charged shock absorbers, it was a luxury car with refined cruising at its core.
With its striking two-tone paintwork and a luxurious cabin, this 1987 car is a real head-turner. This car has been regularly serviced and well-maintained, and always kept garaged - which we think really shows in its condition. For a truly attractive, truly palatial vehicle, this is a superb pick.
