1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III

Registration No: M906 XJK
Chassis No: SCAZS02C2SCH55591
MOT: April 2024

Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced `new look' dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels. Arriving in 1993, the Spirit III boasted more power thanks to redesigned cylinder heads and manifolding, airbags for both driver and front seat passenger and revised rear lights. Decidedly short lived, just 234 Spirit III saloons are thought to have been made (of which 182 were to right-hand drive specification).

This 1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III was delivered on the 3rd of April 1995 to its first owner, a Mr. Steven Buckley, through Rolls-Royce main dealer, Stratstone of Wilmslow. Finished in a striking Wildberry exterior, the Silver Spirit III is adorned with an interior that exudes opulence. The Sandstone Connolly hide, intricately piped in Mulberry, harmonizes beautifully with the sumptuous Mulberry Wilton carpets, creating an ambiance of unmatched sophistication. This Rolls-Royce has been cherished by its current owner since 2017, having been meticulously stored in a dry environment throughout their stewardship. Remarkably, this custodianship follows in the footsteps of only two previous owners: the original owner who acquired it from Stratstone of Wilmslow and the dealer who facilitated its transition to the current owner. A treasure trove of historical documents accompanies this automotive masterpiece. Among these relics is the original letter of congratulations extended to Mr. Steven Buckley on his acquisition of this Rolls-Royce. A series of letters exchanged between Mr. Buckley and Rolls-Royce, specifically Stratstone of Wilmslow, reveal the diligent efforts made to address warranty-related matters during the months of April, May, and June 1995.The original purchase invoice from Rolls-Royce provides a fascinating glimpse into the transaction, detailing not only the base price but also the costs associated with optional extras. Furthermore, it elucidates the particulars of the part exchange involving another Rolls-Royce vehicle. Throughout its existence, this Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III has enjoyed the privilege of indoor storage, ensuring its pristine condition. Maintenance has been conducted without compromise, with records spanning the gamut from Rolls-Royce main dealer services from 1995 to 2006 to the care of Gallimore RR Specialists from 2006 onwards. The legacy of this luxurious automobile stretches from 1995 to 2017 under the ownership of Mr. S. Buckley and subsequently into the present day, with the current vendor's unwavering commitment to its preservation. In the last six years, the car has seen limited use, covering a mere 1500 miles. This restraint, however, belies the extensive maintenance efforts undertaken to ensure the car's mechanical excellence. With 130,500 miles on the odometer and a valid MOT until the 18th of April 2024, this 1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit III stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and enduring automotive heritage.
