The seller offers for sale this 1986 RHD Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, powered by a 6.75-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Offered directly by its owner, this Silver Spirit is presented as a well-documented example finished in a classic Rolls-Royce specification. The odometer indicates 89,000 miles, described by the seller as fully supported by documentation. Inside, the car features a leather interior complemented by burr walnut woodwork, in keeping with the marque’s reputation for understated luxury. The car has been specialist maintained by Rolls-Royce and Bentley experts, and comes with a comprehensive history file containing invoices, giving a clear record of the care it has received.

The iconic 6.75-litre V8 is described as starting readily and running quietly, driving through the smooth automatic transmission that is so characteristic of these stately saloons. The paintwork and brightwork present well and the cabin retains its air of traditional British craftsmanship. As a vehicle over 40 years old, it also benefits from favourable classic-vehicle status in several markets.

The Silver Spirit was introduced in 1980 as the successor to the Silver Shadow, ushering in a new generation of full-size Rolls-Royce saloons. Sharing its underpinnings and the legendary 6.75-litre V8 with its Bentley siblings, it offered effortless performance, a waftingly comfortable ride and the imposing presence expected of the marque. For many enthusiasts the Silver Spirit represents an accessible route into genuine Rolls-Royce ownership, combining stately elegance with the mechanical robustness of a thoroughly engineered luxury car.

With its documented history, specialist maintenance and classic luxury appointments, this Silver Spirit presents as a dignified and characterful example of one of Britain’s most recognisable luxury saloons.
