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 newcomer’s 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, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6. 75 litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the model's 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 thought to have been made.
First registered on the 1st August 1988, this particular Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is presented in the attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Cream leather interior. Having had just 5 keepers over its lifetime with its first keeper change in December 1993 and the following in March 1997, a large proportion of the car’s life was spent with a Mr D Sherwood; a Solicitor from Brighton, East Sussex. The history file is picked up in his ownership in 1997, with the car remaining, with him registered to him and his company, Thompson Sherwood Solicitors until March 2012. During his ownership, the car was used sparingly; maintained with Harwoods and latterly with a local garage, Grants Garage.
Purchased by the previous ownership since February 2015, this charming Rolls-Royce has been enthusiast-owned, with maintenance as required and MOT’d every year. Offered by H&H in 2024, when showing just 72, 530 miles on the odometer, the Spirit was purchased by the vendor who has used the car for some 1, 000 miles since. Accompanied with the vehicle is a history file containing numerous MOT certificates dating back as far as 1995, invoices dating back as far as 1995, as well as the current V5C document. Please note the current registration, ‘F20 RJD’ is not included in the sale.
