Driving through town in a Rolls Royce has to be the dream of many a classic car enthusiast, and this Silver Spirit from 1990 will surely fulfil that dream.
The Silver Spirit was rejuvenated in 1988 introducing and active suspension system dubbed ‘Automatic Ride Control’ that was surely the precursor to the infamous ride modern Rolls Royce cars offer.
This particular model, finished in a beautiful dark blue colour pairing nicely with the chrome trim throughout the body is in exquisite condition. Having had just a single owner for much of its life only taking it on weekly drives according to the current owner, it has been very well looked after. This is evident both on paper from the full service history and file full of invoices as well as the great condition both inside and out.
