The Background
Produced between 1980-97 the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit was part of the companies new generation of models.
The Mark I took the same design philosophy that its predecessor the Silver Shadow with its 6.75L V8 engine and 3 speed automatic gearbox, unlike the shadow the spirit benefitted from wider body work, a lower stance and a more aerodynamic all-round body style. As you can imagine for a Rolls Royce the Silver Spirit carried on the idea that ride quality is everything and it utilized their hydropneumatics self-leveling suspension.
These cars were expensive back in the day and, like these day, were the height of luxury with the finest leathers, walnut veneered wooden trim, and miles of room in the rear sections, these were the way to show that you had made it.
The History
This Rolls Royce has spent some of its time over in Germany before it came over to the UK in the early 2000’s where it appears to have been in places like Lincolnshire and Essex where it has been looked after by Rolls Royce specialists.
The Paperwork
There is a decent amount of paperwork that comes with the car to document its history.
Some of the works of interest are the replacement of the steering rack in 2015, some brake pump replacement parts and a fairly large bill from 2020 which seemed to fix the issue of ‘suspected oil ingress into engine sump’ and ‘leaking brake leaking’ this was quite a major undertaking and it resulted in a fairly large bill.
There are also some original tax discs that are within the paperwork bundle.
The Interior
The interior Is just like you’d imagine from a Rolls Royce, fine grade leather, wooden accents, and miles of space. It is one of the best places to sit within the automotive world and coupled with the exquisite ride quality of a Rolls Royce you will get to your destination as fresh as when you left.
All the important dials work, with a couple of new dials in the boot. Some elements have been bought into the modern age with a CD multi changer and radio installed.
There are a few issues with the interior however, there are a few cracks on both of the front seats and the woodwork will need re-lacquering. And whilst the air-con is still there it doesn’t work as it once did. When these few issues are rectified the interior will shine like new again.
The Exterior
The Exterior of this land yacht is in good condition; the spirit of ecstasy still flies atop the famous metal grill. There are a couple of receipts that point to the fact that both of the front wings have been replaced at a cost of around €1600 back in 2016.
This Rolls Royce has also been treated to some fresh white walls only a few hundred miles ago which really set off the exterior of the vehicle.
The outside isn’t without issues as there a few marks here and there. The rear offside wheel arch is showing some signs of rust, but some of the issues with the paint will be sorted after a good detail.
The Mechanics
The mechanical aspect of this Rolls is pretty good. The engine starts on the button and runs smooth, the gearbox goes through the box nicely and the brakes are in tip top condition.
The hydraulically controlled suspension is good and helps iron out all of the potholes that now dot the English road network.
To make sure the engine runs well there has been a procedure to overhaul the fuel system which included having the carburetors re-jetted and balanced to make sure the massive 6.75L engine gets the correct fuel and air mixture.
Within the next few months the car becomes Tax and MOT exempt. The current owner did put the car in for a retrospective MOT within the past few days, it ended up failing on the rear bushes and the rear bush mounting points that now require welding. The current owner will not be completing this work.
The Appeal
This is your time to own a luxury vehicle at a fraction of its original forecourt price. Who wouldn’t love to drive every in the highly refined cabin of a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit and with the ride comfort the hydro-pneumatic suspension it is a great motorway mile muncher.
This may not be the finest example you will see, but as a no reserve car you can have the opportunity to have a lot of car for the money. When the issues have been fixed with the car you can enjoy all every inch of this car, and there are a few of them, in the way it was designed to be enjoyed and used.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
