This beautiful Silver Spirit has joined The Motorist Showroom to look for her next custodian.
This Spirit has been lovingly cared for by previous owners and was originally sold through the distributor Mann Egerton and Co in 1988 and the vehicle retains much of the original paperwork. The car was originally sold to Peter de Savary, a British entrepreneur who was the former chairman of Millwall FC, all of which is documented in official documents supplied.
The car comes with a rich back catalogue of receipts and invaluable historical documents including the Construction and Test Records supplied by the RREC – The International Club for Rolls-Royce and Bentley Enthusiasts.
The car has received a lot of work in the past with many high-end garages and includes paperwork from Rolls Royce Manchester and Flying Spares.
Overall, the car is tidy and useable, but there are areas for improvement which the new owner could address to enhance the vehicle’s value including small imperfections in the paintwork, detailing in the engine bay and attention to the back bumper needs some cosmetic repairs.
Good points on the car including new over mats and carpets, an immaculate interior and a stunning driving experience which offers the best of what Rolls Royce has to offer. This car will delight and inspire any prospective buyers. Another plus point is that paperwork is extensive and includes:
