Typically Rolls-Royce in so far as they represented evolution rather than revolution, the Silver Spirit and long-wheelbase Silver Spur were based on the preceding Silver Shadow II to which they bore a distinct family resemblance. The Shadow’s floorpan was retained and power-train differences were minimal, the newcomers’ chief advance over their immediate forebear being the heavily revised and improved type of rear suspension that had first appeared on the company’s two-door models. The styling too came in for revision, with a lower waistline, increased glass area and a more-modern angular look; rectangular headlights graced the front of a Rolls-Royce for the first time, and the oft-changed radiator became wider and squatter. Inside, the Crewe firm’s exemplary standards of equipment and finish were maintained, the most noticeable change being the adoption of separate rear seats and the re-instatement of folding picnic tables. First registered 5 May, 1983 and finished in gold with magnolia leather interior, this Silver Spur comes with service book stamped from 1984 to 1996 by recognised specialists, Reg Vardy, Hadley Green, Kennings and The Chelsea Workshop. The vehicle also comes with expired MoTs dating back to 1995. It is offered with MoT to January 2006 and Swansea V5.
