Lot 58 -1988 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit (1980-1998) evolved the Silver Shadow formula with restyled body by Fritz Feller. The 6.75-litre V8 with fuel injection (from 1986). More reliable than Shadow.

Silver Spirit/Spur: Engine: 6.75 V8 - as Shadow, virtually indestructible. Fuel injection (from 1986) more reliable. Gearbox: GM 4-speed auto - reliable. Hydraulics: Self-leveling - improved over Shadow but still expensive when faulty. Mineral vs synthetic fluid issue - check history. Budget £4-8k annually. Late fuel-injected cars best.

Fuel injection (1986+), Late model (II/III), Good hydraulics, Service history, Low mileage
