1989 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 1989 Where do you find a late series Silver Spirit in this condition with only 25,000 miles? Here is a really original presenting, second series Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit finished in magnificent Masons black with honey tan Connolly hides throughout accented with dramatic black Wilton wool carpeting piped in seat matching tan leather. It has twin fine lines to the waist-rails in the interior matching tan, as are also the hubcap beauty rings. The car has a very strong masculine and formal presentation to her. A wonderful combination. These Silver Spirits are not so often seen anymore and it is truly a delight to come across such an original presenting example such as this one. Especially with a stunningly low 25,000 miles! The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce designed and built V8 engine with the Bosch fuel injection system which provides ultra smooth touring. The 1989 year represents one of the best for the Silver Spirit & Spur models. This example is very clean Beverly Hills car all its life and presents original in almost every detail. A 2-owner example that resided almost all its life in California, where all of her miles were clocked, and then with only a very short recent stint in Florida. She has a perfectly clean Carfax history, regularly serviced with anything requiring doing, attended to. Recently, all the hydraulics and braking system were inspected and serviced as required. Under the bonnet, the presentation is very clean. It has not been precision detailed but simply well-kept and maintained throughout its life. The car throughout, under the bonnet and underside look every bit of a low mileage Rolls-Royce. The body of the car is straight, clean and totally accident free. The car was repainted in her original colour for reasons we do not know and presents well with a high gloss, deep lustre and pretty much without issues. There are a couple of imperfections here and there but nothing extraordinary. Outside of this, all glass, rubbers, mouldings, stainless, badges and external fittings are all in good condition. One thing that really stands this Spirit apart from most others in the US is the fitment of original and factory correct rectangular glass headlamps. These replace the rather unattractive 4 x rectangle sealed-beam (alla-Cadillac look) headlights which were a US-mandated specification at the time. The form-fit rectangular units now fitted is how the designers intended the car to present and, in fact, were used for the rest of the world (“ROW”) – the difference is outstandingly better. The interior on this car is stunning. Simply without issue and just gorgeous and completely original in presentation. The un-touched factory original Connolly leather shows beautifully and all presents very clean with the seat leather supple and soft. It is without marks or blemishes and presents very elegantly. (Any lines or color variations you see in the photos are just the natural grains characteristics of Connolly hides which, for some reason, are exaggerated in the photos. The close-up photos clearly show their almost perfect condition.). The dash “top-roll” and rear parcel shelf are nice. Almost all Spirits and Spurs from 1981 thru to the late 90s have suffered sun and heat damage which causes the leather to dry and contract. Especially around the windshield vents. The headliner is simply “like new” and the carpets still “wool-ball” like new ones. All remaining fixtures and fittings are truly nice and I best encourage you to look at all the photos to fully appreciate how well the interior presents. The burl walnut throughout is pretty much close to perfect – an adjective I very rarely use – without cracks, blemishes nor fading. It is all factory original and has never been refinished. There is one hairline fracture in the left rear picnic table and another below the speedometer but hardly noticeable (really just mentioned in an effort to provide full disclosure). The wood condition truly is stunning. On that point, rear seat picnic tables were only standard on the Silver Spur and not the Siler Spirit. This would have been a special order and is rare to see. Being a Spirit it has the lovely full-wheel polished stainless hubacps and the body matching beauty trim rings. As part of Park-Ward’s maintenance program, “Predelivery Commissioning” will ensure all major and minor services are done, right down to new tyres and battery as required. In addition, all electricals and features & functions are inspected to ensure everything is operating as it should; windows, mirrors, A/C, heater, lights, wipers, etc. Prior to delivery to her new care-taker, the “Predelivery Commissioning” process is undertaken to ensure she is a true, “take the keys and drive” example with no additional budget needed to attend to nuances or gremlins. The car is of very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver rating. She is a very elegant example of the early Spirit model with few, in this fine condition, remaining these days. * Please do understand our Predelivery Commissioning process is very detailed and covers literally hundreds of items that we check and attend to as necessary. The process takes several weeks to complete. We are very conscientious in all our work but please also understand, this is a +/- 40 year old Rolls-Royce whereby the cars themselves are somewhat idiosyncratic in behaviour and like to misbehave. Sometimes when you least expect it. Some might say, Rolls-Royce proved the term “Murphy’s Law” and no truer words could be spoken. So please, we welcome you to all our cars that we are proud to say are amongst the finest, but do keep an open-mind: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” …………………. ………………………………………… American aerospace engineer, Edward A.
