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 newcomer 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, the four-door saloon 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. Introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Silver Spirit II was notable for its adoption of a new automatic ride control system, redesigned fascia and light alloy wheels. Only in production between 1989 and 1993, just 1,152 Silver Spirit IIs are thought to have been made.
Finished in blue with cream leather upholstery, this particular example was reportedly "bought by Tarmac and sold on to its current owner after one year".
