The Appeal
The ‘Spirit’ lived up to its name in injecting a new Zeitgeist into the brand. With its cleaner lines and roomier interior, it was ready to take the Winged Lady into a new, more extrovert decade – the Eighties – and to take its place alongside (or more usually above) any other luxury manufacturer on either side of the Atlantic.
This beautiful-looking example has only been driven 77,630 miles – all of which have been meticulously documented and cared for by its 6 owners. The car spent some years as part of a wedding car fleet, where the Rolls was serviced in-house during this time. It has always been garaged.
In ‘Ocean Blue’ with a matching Everflex roof (and beige, piped blue leather interior), the car could easily be returned to wedding work, or simply be enjoyed as a relaxed, if slightly extravagant tourer. The unstressed 6.75-litre V8 is easy to maintain (serviced at 33,870 miles), and benefits from two new tyres, brake pads and a recent high-torque starter motor. 1a98587b-41f0-4746-a4c7-3371e5be0186.jpg661.91 KB
