Lot details
Registration No: UBY789X
Chassis No: SCAZS000SBCH02845
Mot Expiry: Nov 2006
Launched in 1980, the Silver Spirit relied heavily upon the underpinnings of its Shadow predecessor prompting Autocar to comment that its raison d'etre was more to do with "maintaining traditional standards rather than making a spectacular advance". Nevertheless, the Spirit was credited with handling and roadholding that were "the best yet from Rolls-Royce". Its all-round independent coil-and-wishbone suspension featured automatic, olio-pneumatic ride height control to the rear and adjustable dampers at the front. Powered by the ubiquitous 6750cc, ohv V8 engine mated to three-speed automatic transmission, it was reputedly capable of 120mph and benefited from power assistance to both its disc brakes and steering rack. Importantly, this evolutionary design remained faithful to the luxurious ambience of its predecessors using only the finest quality hides, carpets, chrome fittings and wood veneers for its matchless interior.
Finished in metallic walnut bronze with beige leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in good condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Reportedly "a credit to all its previous owners", it is further said to have had "all new parts fitted as required" and to possess a "documented full history". Recently re-commissioned following an eighteen month period of dry storage, it is believed but not warranted to have covered 161,000 miles from new. Sporting fog lights and a front air dam, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate current until November 2006 and road tax until April 2006.
