Buyer’s notes
About the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit
The Silver Spirit of 1980 began a new generation of Rolls-Royce saloons, with the 6.75-litre V8 and self-levelling hydraulic suspension, alongside the longer-wheelbase Silver Spur. It was replaced by the Mark II in 1989.
What moves the price
- Condition of the hydraulics, brakes and suspension, which are costly to overhaul.
- Rust in the sills and rear spring pans.
- History: specialist servicing on record, including hydraulic fluid and coolant changes.
Before you buy, check
- The hydraulic warning lights: both should go out soon after starting, and with the engine off the brake pedal should take at least 40 pumps before they come back on.
- The sills, the rear spring pans, and the mountings of the aluminium bonnet, boot lid and doors for corrosion.
- A rattly top end, from sticking tappets or a worn camshaft after missed services, and the air conditioning.
