About the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and Silver Spur
The Silver Spirit and its long-wheelbase sibling, the Silver Spur, replaced the Silver Shadow and Silver Wraith respectively in 1980. They were redesigned to be more rounded and less upright, with a 220-hp, 6.75-liter aluminum V-8 engine.
The Silver Spirit and Silver Spur were built in four iterations, or Marks, with thousands of running changes through the years.
Key Features
The finish on the Silver Spirit was superior, with burl walnut wood trim, Connolly leather hide interior, and Wilton carpets.
Steering was power rack-and-pinion, and Rolls-Royce used Citroen’s hydraulic self-leveling suspension at the rear, power disc brakes all-around, and three-speed automatic transmission.
Tips for Buying and Owning a Rolls-Royce
Provenance is everything in Rolls-Royces, and records will tell you every step of a car’s ownership trail and maintenance history from the day it left the factory.
Buying from the original owner or a reputable dealer is usually worth a premium, as are complete records. A pre-purchase inspection is often wise, and sourcing a certified mechanic prior to purchase to keep the car in good running order.
