“Some car… Rolls-Royce may now have strong rivals, but none can match the majesty of its spirit.” - Sporting Cars. Based on the Silver Shadow II, the Silver Spirit and its long-wheelbase counterpart, the Silver Spur, were announced in the autumn of 1980. While the power unit remained Rolls-Royce’s familiar and dependable 6,750cc V8, significant improvements were made to the newcomers’ self-levelling rear suspension and the styling too came in for revision, with a lower waist line, increased glass area and a more modern angular look; rectangular headlights graced the front of a Rolls-Royce for the first time, and the oft-changed radiator became wider and squatter. Inside, the Crewe firm’s exemplary standards of equipment and finish were maintained, the most noticeable change being the adoption of separate rear seats and the re-instatement of folding picnic tables. Launched in the autumn of 1989, by which time fuel injection had been adopted for all markets, the Silver Spirit II looked virtually identical to its immediate predecessor (15-spoke alloy wheels excepted) but featured a number of detail alterations to the dashboard, centre console and controls as well as the more significant incorporation of Rolls-Royce’s own adaptive suspension damping system. Costing over £119,000 new and presented in stunningly original condition, this well maintained example has enjoyed only two private owners and is offered with a comprehensive service record. For the past ten years the car has been in the possession of a lady owner, and was last serviced a mere 2,000 miles ago by recognised specialists Shadow Services. Some 79,000-or-so miles have been covered from new. Finished in Fern Grey metallic with grey-piped magnolia leather upholstery, lambswool carpets and special ‘King James’ wood interior, the vehicle is offered with MoT to September 2005 and Swansea V5 registration document. An opportunity to acquire a well cared-for Silver Spirit II at a mere fraction of its original cost.
