Description
The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is a full-size luxury car produced by Rolls-Royce Motors, in Crewe, England, from 1980 to 1997. It was the first model in the SZ series. The Silver Spur is a long-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit, produced from 1980 to 2000.[1] It was the first car to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy: the spring-loaded mascot sank into the radiator shell if dislodged from its position.

It formed the basis for the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine, Park Ward, and Bentley Mulsanne/ Eight series. The Spirit/ Spur carried over the basic design of the Silver Shadow[citation needed], its 6. 75 L L410 V8 engine and GM-sourced THM400 3-speed automatic gearbox, and similarly styled unitary bodywork manufactured at Pressed Steel. The Spur/ Spirit continued the Silver Shadow's emphasis on ride quality by utilizing its hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, modified with Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system and gas-charged shock absorbers. Sealed beam headlamps were fitted in the United States due to longstanding regulations, while European laws allowed for the fitment of more modern composite units. Just arrived. This car was supplied by HR Owen, London. We are offering a 1986 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit finished in metallic royal blue with thin coach lines and with magnolia leather seats, leather headlining, blue dash roll and navy blue over rugs and white wall tyres. The car has covered only 52000 miles with a vosa printout for the mileage and old MOT certificates and the currant MOT runs until February 2024. It has the usual Rolls Royce refinments, air-con, central locking, rear picnic tables, radio stereo, electric windows and seats, it still has the orginal car phone. It has a service history and was serviced by main dealers and specialists during its early life and other services since. It was serviced this year along with 4 new tyres. The car is in very clean condition throughout and the interior wood work was all restored and still looks lovely to this day, slight patina to one rear picnic table. A lovely usuable car to drive. Some more photos to post , Thanks
