Description
After 15 years of loyal service, in October 1980 the Silver Shadow was replaced by the Silver Spirit, Rolls Royce's new saloon car. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show and its taut, classic lines immediately appealed to the clientele of the "best cars in the world", as the brand liked to define itself. as the brand likes to call itself, very modestly ... It's true that at the price at which the Silver Spirit was offered in the early 80s, you could afford two Mercedes 500 SEs, which had also just come out... But these lowly material considerations are unworthy of a Rolls Royce: when you drive a Silver Spirit, you are in another world, isolated from the hustle and bustle outside. The nobility of the materials, the Wilton carpet, the Connolly leather, the elm burr, the chrome push buttons, the electric gear selector ... The model we are offering you was delivered new on 15 February 1982 in Monaco, and the original logbook attests to this. It is presented to you in a very elegant dark oyster metalic finish combined with very chic grey leather. The paintwork and upholstery were redone a few years ago and show very few signs of wear. The tyres are new. The woodwork on the dashboard needs a new coat of varnish for the demanding enthusiast ... Mechanically this Spirit works well, we have driven a hundred kilometres in it, nevertheless a GOOD mechanical revision is needed (hydraulic push buttons, air conditioning etc ...). We are offering this Rolls Royce for sale at a particularly attractive price, on behalf of a collector friend wishing to free up a space for a new arrival. The dream of a lifetime for any car enthusiast, for the cost of buying a second-hand city car, this is the unique opportunity of this Silver Spirit.
