The Fritz Feller-penned Silver Spirit debuted at the 1980 Paris Salon. It was not entirely new, however, and employed the floorplan of the outgoing model as well as its proven OHV 6750cc V8 powerplant. The opulent incomer was lower and longer than the Silver Shadow and featured a considerably larger glass area. 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 - it automatically withdrew into the safety of the radiator shell if dislodged from its standard position. There was a total of four iterations of the Silver Spirit, via which it remained 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.

Manufactured in 1983, this Silver Spirit was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 1^st of August that year. Fitted with the aforementioned 6750cc V8 engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Rolls-Royce is finished in the attractive colour combination of Blue over Silver with Blue Connolly leather interior upholstery and matching Blue Wilton carpets. In current registered ownership since 2018, the Spirit has benefitted from a replacement gearbox in 2021 and has been recently serviced. Having covered some 113,000 recorded miles, ‘WXI 2668’ is offered with a collection of invoices, a no advisory MOT certificate until November 2022, and a current V5C document.
