Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced `new look' dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels. Arriving in 1993, the Spirit III boasted more power thanks to redesigned cylinder heads and manifolding, airbags for both driver and front seat passenger and revised rear lights. Decidedly short lived, just 234 Spirit III saloons are thought to have been made (of which 182 were to right-hand drive specification).

This UK-supplied, right-hand drive example was manufactured in 1995 and supplied new through Stratstone Rolls-Royce in Wilmslow, Cheshire. Finished in the attractive colour scheme of Red Pearl with Cream piped leather interior upholstery, the Spirit III has been in current registered family ownership since 2007, with husband and wife equating to two of the five total owners. Covering a modest 70,833 miles (at time of consignment) from new, the Rolls-Royce has benefited from replacement head gaskets in 2014 by a specialist, along with a brake overhaul in the same year, again with a specialist. Accompanied by a large history file including the original book pack, the stamped service book shows fourteen stamps from main dealers and specialists, along with further servicing invoices, most recently approximately 1,000 miles ago. Also present on file are a selection of previous MOT certificates, numerous invoices relating to work completed (much by specialists), along with a current V5C document.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot is now supplied with an MOT certificate until October 2023.
