The Silver Spirit, introduced by Rolls-Royce in 1980, was the first of a new generation of models for the company, and, with a 120” wheelbase, is the standard length sedan, 4” shorter than the Spur.
The Spirit offered here, of 1985 vintage, is a true one-California owner car from new. With a Carfax certified and genuine 95,000 miles from new, the car shows exceptionally well in the timeless colour combination of white, with tan leather interior, piped in cream, with burr walnut accents.
The body of the car is in excellent condition, straight and dent-free, paint is excellent and original, with no evidence of accident damage or repair. Brightwork is excellent, as are wheels, tires, etc.
The leather surfaces of the interior are in great condition, with very minor wear. Carpets are excellent under original mouton overmats with footrests in the rear, dash, headliner and panels are all excellent. The wood veneer is very good with no delamination or cracking.
The car has been regularly serviced and exceptionally well. This is truly one of the best driving Rolls-Royces of the era I have ever experienced. The great 6.75l Rolls-Royce engine is smooth and has great power. The transmission is super-smooth, brakes are excellent, as is steering and suspension. All electrical systems work as they should, with cold AC. The car really needs nothing, and I would honestly drive it anywhere. The car comes complete with original books and keys.
This is a great opportunity to purchase a piece of English classic elegance in astonishing driving condition, at very reasonable cost.

Rolls-Royce Landspeed Collection honors record-breaking pioneer
Fri, Jun 25 2021The Rolls-Royce Wraith coupe and Dawn convertible might not be long for our market, but that doesn't mean they're being wholly ignored by their maker. In fact, Rolls-Royce just announced a new limited edition of the stylish pair: the Landspeed Collection. The Landspeed Collection cars honor 1930s speed record-holder Captain George Eyston, who achieved three land speed records, culminating in a run at 357.497 mph in 1938 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Rolls-Royce connection is that Eyston's car, the Thunderbolt, was powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce V12 aero engines. Each displaced 37 liters and produced more than 2,000 horsepower. Unlike the Thunderbolt, the Wraith and Dawn are powered by a single V12 engine, and its output is unchanged from stock. Nor do the Landspeed Collection Wraith and Dawn adopt the record-setting car's triple axles, eight wheels, and large triangular tailfin. More's the pity. Instead, the models are based on the Wraith and Dawn Black Badge. They're painted a two-tone Black Diamond Metallic and Bonneville Blue (a light silver-blue that's specific to this model). Among the unique details: dashboard engraving that mimics the fissured texture of the salt flats, an image of the Thunderbolt's silhouette embossed on the front tunnel, and a special clock that adopts some of the markings of the Thunderbolt. The Starlight Headliner is said to exactly match the night-sky appearance on the date when the final Thunderbolt speed record was set. Rolls-Royce will build 35 examples of the Wraith coupe and just 25 of the Dawn convertible. But even if you're as speedy as Captain George Eyston himself, you won't be quick enough to grab one — they're already sold out.
Rolls-Royce planning plug-in hybrid
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Rolls-Royce is not the first marque you'd think of when it comes to environmentally friendly transportation. Its cars are big - often the size of SUVs - and pack ginormous twelve-cylinder engines displacing over six and a half liters. Those upright Parthenon grilles can't be very aerodynamic, either. But the way the wind is blowing these days, Goodwood will have to get with the program sooner or later.
It developed an electric version of the Phantom a couple of years ago called the 102EX and showed it to customers around the world. But people weren't interested, so Rolls-Royce killed the program. Not to be deterred, however, Rolls is now said to be working on a plug-in hybrid that would countermand some of the shortcomings - like range and recharging times - that killed the 102EX.
The technology would apparently be borrowed from parent company BMW which is developing it for the X5 eDrive and allow Rolls-Royce to reduce its carbon footprint and offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation to those who don't want to skimp on the luxury and prestige.
