For Sale: 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur in Carey, Illinois

H ere is a really original presenting, early Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit finished in very unique; 2-tone Coral over Redwood (both metallics) with ebony black Connolly hides throughout. It has twin fine lines to the waist-rails in a grey-white as a stunning contrast. The car presents with the same salmon red hue the name coral name suggests. It is a colour combination we have never seen before and we think it may well be a one-off. These early 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 such low miles ~ 32,000. 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. This example is very clean and presents original in almost every detail. A very clean 3-owner west-coast example. Sold new and first delivered at Beverly Hills Motor Cars in California where it remained with the same owner until 1999. The second owner had the car also in California and moved to Texas in 2016 and then sold her in 2019 where it then moved to Nebraska at 29,000 miles. Only 3,000 miles were fulfilled until now where she is at 32,000 miles. 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 32,000 mile Rolls-Royce. The body of the car is straight, clean and totally accident free. ***Importantly, however, the top half paint has crazed all over. As a weekender or even as a daily driver she presents acceptably and if you are more into original than perfection you could leave as is. But, if you are meticulous and in any way fussy, the top half does need a repaint. As we are unsure who the buyer will be, the price she is being offered at is with the paint in the current condition, but if you would prefer to buy the car and have the top half repainted, we will do so through Park-Ward's in-house paint shop - one of the best in the Rolls-Royce business. Please allow an additional $5,000. Outside of this, all glass, rubbers, mouldings, stainless, badges and external fittings are all in good condition. The interior on this car is without issue and simply gorgeous and completely original in presentation. The un-touched factory original Connolly leather shows beautifully with just the right amount of natural patina. It all presents very clean with the seat leather supple and soft. The strong black Connolly interior delivers a very warm and cosy welcome and contrasts extremely well with the 2-tone Coral over Redwood exterior. Carpets, seats, dash, rear parcel shelf, 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. Dash wood is excellent with some minor hairlines in the finish to the door cappings. Please see photos. (Again, Park-Ward does this in-house so please enquire if you would like them refinished). As part of Park-Ward's maintenance program, "Predelivery Commissioning" will ensure all major and minor services are done. 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 9 out of 10 driver rating. She is a very elegant example of the early Spirit model with few, in this fine condition, remainin
