The Appeal
The raft of changes applied to the second generation Silver Spirit really deserved a new name. But in typical understated style, Roll-Royce simply added ‘II’ to the name.
These later cars are desirable because they feature reliable fuel injection and safety-focussed ABS but it is the addition of Rolls-Royce’s clever Automatic Ride Control that really sets these second generation cars apart.
Just 735 RHD examples left the line and this one is surely amongst the lowest mileage. It has covered a mere 57,030 miles during its life and comes with a similarly careful maintenance file. It shows a run of regular service right up to June 2024.
Recent work has included a new steering rack, suspension work, new tyres, stainless steel exhaust and power steering pump. The car is in the sort of condition you would expect after all that work and with such low mileage. The interior is a particular treat.
That creates an opportunity for the buyer to acquire a very good, low mileage Silver Spirit II where the investment has already been made. With MOT to June 2025 this tastefully finished car looks very tempting.
