The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. Employing the floorplan of the outgoing model it also utilised its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. Courtesy of its finely tuned Girling hydraulic self-levelling suspension, it was said to provide the best road-holding ever offered by the marque. It was also the first Rolls-Royce to feature a retractable version of the Spirit of Ecstasy. There were a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, the model remaining in production until 1998, by which time BMW had obtained an interest in the manufacturer and the Spirit was replaced by the BMW V12-powered Silver Seraph.
Offered from previous long-term ownership, the Silver Spirit was declared first registered on the 1st January 1987 and finished in the attractive colour combination of Beige with a Cream leather interior. The odometer displays c. 85, 529 credible recorded miles. On file is a selection of old MOT paperwork along with invoices on file for £815 spent on fuel pipes, an oil pressure switch and a fuel pump in June 2022, LHM fluid in December 2018. Brake fettling in May 2010 and a new brake pipe and repair to the exhaust for the MOT in June 2013. The Silver Spirit is offered with a collection of invoices, some MOT history and the current V5C Registration Document.
