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.
Finished in Gold, complemented by a Tan leather interior, 'BUA 819X' currently displays 51,300 miles on its odometer. We are informed by the vendor that the Spirit has had very little use over the last 10 years however has recently received some re-commissioning and is said to be now driving 'well'. Currently in the process of being registered for Historic vehicle status, the vendor currently grades the engine, gearbox, plus interior as 'Very Good' and the bodywork and electrical equipment as 'Good'. He also states the paintwork could be improved.
