1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit — Extensive Service History — $22,900 OBO
Offered for sale is my 1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, finished in classic white with a beautiful navy blue leather interior, richly figured burl walnut woodwork, and approximately 76,000 miles showing on the odometer.
This Silver Spirit has an interesting ownership history. The previous owner enjoyed the car for approximately 15–20 years, driving it regularly on both local outings and extended road trips, reportedly traveling as far as Maine. He eventually retired from driving due to age, and the vehicle was stored indoors for approximately 5–7 years, with the fuel tank drained beforehand.
I acquired the Rolls-Royce in March 2026 and have since invested over $12,000 in mechanical repairs and maintenanceto return it to the road. The work was performed by Sports Car Workshops in Richmond, Virginia, and is supported by detailed invoices. An extensive collection of historical service records also accompanies the vehicle.

The vehicle starts readily, runs smoothly, and drives beautifully. Following the recent radiator repair, it completed an extended drive of more than an hour without overheating. The ride is exceptionally smooth and comfortable, delivering that unmistakable floating sensation for which Rolls-Royce is famous.
INTERIOR AND APPOINTMENTS
The interior is particularly attractive, featuring rich navy blue leather upholstery, beautifully finished burl walnut throughout the dashboard and cabin, plush carpeting, and traditional Rolls-Royce appointments.
During his ownership, the previous owner commissioned custom blue sheepskin floor mats and a beautiful crystal decanter with accompanying glassware for the rear passenger compartment. These distinctive accessories remain with the car and complement its classic luxury character.
The headliner presents very well, the leather retains its beautiful original appearance with age-appropriate patina, and the walnut veneers display attractive figuring and a glossy finish.
The exterior is finished in classic white, accented by bright chrome trim, traditional Rolls-Royce wheel covers, and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament.
