Interior & Equipment
Luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hide, rich wood veneers and deep-pile Wilton carpets...
The original carefully matched Parchment hide (code A3672) with blue piping presents beautifully throughout, matching door cards, optional dark blue hide top-roll, parchment hide knee roll, optional parchment hide headling, original dark blue deep-pile Wilton carpets with rear footstools piped in cream present as new along with luxury lambskin wool floor mats. Each and every time you open the door you know you're stepping into something very special.
All gauges, switches, and electrics work as they were intended, Clarion sound system and electric aerial, optional grab handles to the front and electric memory seats
Stunning Burr Walnut woodwork throughout with no fading or cracking and unmarked chrome door furniture... Simply outstanding and all original.
Exterior
Finished in stunning original Rolls-Royce Royal Blue (FTA) paintwork with hand painted white fine line. The original metallic paintwork displays a uniform deep gloss finish throughout, panel fit as per it left the factory some 36 years ago, and door closures and panel gaps are simply perfect.
All original brightwork presents perfectly, original unmarked Triplex glass all round, flawless original Lucas lighting, perfect wrap-around bumpers, and factory optional Rolls-Royce badges to rear quarters panels... Stunning example.
Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
Wheels - Fitted with 15 inch pressed steel disc wheels with original Rolls-Royce wheel trims finished in Royal Blue with a thick/thin fine line in white. Dressed with factory optional whitewall all matching 235/75 R15 excellent tyres.
Suspension - Automatic ride height control and gas-charged shock absorbers.
Brakes - Bosch anti-locking brakes. All round discs with vented discs to the front. The system offers a reassuring feel and braking capability.
Engine & Transmission
The fully detailed to show standard engine and engine bay houses the incredible 6.75 ltr 90 degree V8 engine, naturally aspirated, fuel injection, 3-speed GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission, estimated power is 205 bhp at approximately 4000 rpm, 0-60mph in 10.6 seconds and a top speed of 126 mph.
Superbly refined even by today's standards. At motorway speeds there's barely a whisper of wind noise even when you bury the throttle there's little more than a muted V8 whirr. The automatic gearbox selects through the gears with the slightest interruption... A real joy to drive.
Summary
Supplied new by Jack Barclay Ltd, Berkeley Square, London on 5th October 1988. This 1989 model year Silver Spirit has only had 4 former keepers who have all clearly cherished her.
We know this car very well indeed it's been owned and cherished by my wife's uncle for the past 26 years, and it was also used as our wedding car in the spring of 2000. Sadly after a sudden illness, our uncle passed away in the summer of this year. It's with a saddened heart we now have his pride and joy available in fine fettle and ready for its next custodian to equally enjoy as he did.
