1991 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit II

Highlights

  • Documented low mileage of under 57,000 
  • Beautiful light blue paintwork with dark blue interior 
  • Well preserved and maintained car
  • Full service history to June 2024 
  • Extensive recent work across the car at considerable cost 
  • MOT to June 2025

The Appeal

The Silver Spirit II added fuel injection and ABS to the car’s alluring mix but it is the addition of Rolls-Royce’s clever Automatic Ride Control that sets these second generation cars apart. 
Just 735 RHD examples left the line and this one is surely amongst the lowest mileage. It has covered a mere 56,821 miles during its life and comes with a similarly careful maintenance file. It shows a run of regular service right up to June 2024. 
The current keeper acquired the car in February and has lavished it with investment including a new steering rack, suspension work, stainless steel exhaust and power steering pump. He spent the money intending to keep it but circumstances have unfortunately changed. 
That creates an opportunity for the buyer to acquire a very good, low mileage Silver Spirit II where the investment has already been made. With MOT to June 2025 this tastefully finished car looks very tempting.
