Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Rolls-Royce’s own publicity material described the new Silver Spirit as “a superb example of a successful marriage of tradition and technology” at its launch in 1980.

Other charming, although not especially technological, nuggets of information abound, too. The trip indicator, for example, could be relied upon for accuracy to within “9 yards in every mile.” The door locks were based on a 4,000 year old Egyptian design, don’t you know, with the odds of a nefarious, duplicate key being created calculated at 24,000 to one. The donor sheep who provided the wool for the carpets were noted as being “particularly hardy” and the bristles for the brushes used to hand paint the coachlines emanated from camels, presumably extra hardy ones.

This example presents in a charming, and Rolls-Royce appropriate colourway and comes with the reassurance of attentive, regular servicing and an excellent MoT history. The Spirit’s mileage of a shade over 40,000 miles is yet another draw for potential owners. This combination delivers a deeply alluring and tremendous value ownership opportunity for the lover of this most prestigious of British marques.
