Registration No: B603 MPH
Chassis No: SCAZS0007FCH12699
MOT: May 2024
A square-cut, broad-shouldered design, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was styled in-house by Austrian-born Fritz Feller. Although derived from that of the preceding Silver Shadow, the newcomer’s floorpan offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling thanks to its novel Girling automatic ride height control and gas shock absorbers. By combining copious amounts of sound deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine and automatic transmission to a muted hush (unless the model's reputed 120mph potential was explored). Driver inputs were minimised with power-assisted steering and disc brakes. Only in production between 1980 and 1989, just 8,129 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Saloons are thought to have been made.
With just c.40,805 miles, and just 2 former keepers since 1985, this well-presented example was supplied new by H A Fox & Co. of Guildford, in March of 1985. Wearing Royal Blue with Magnolia Hide and trim with Dark Blue hide piping, Dark Blue carpet and Cream Marvelon headlining there is an original bill of sale stating £50,305.00 in 1985. The vendor has described the car as ‘Excellent in all areas’ and a ‘beautiful example’ and describes further how ‘well’ it drives. ‘B603 MPH’ has also just had pre delivery check with a Rolls Royce specialist and they commented on how nice it was underneath and mechanically.
In recent times the Silver Spirit has benefitted from a professional detail and valet and there are 13 Rolls Royce main dealer service stamps (up to 1999) and 8 independent specialist service stamps (up to 2021). A mass of paperwork and old MOTs accompany the car, supporting the mileage, along with the original book pack, tool kit and all associated paperwork, which is comprehensive in nature.
