41k-Mile 1987 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

“A car that is, could only be, a… Rolls-Royce.” The 1987 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit represents a refined evolution of British luxury motoring. Introduced in 1980 as the successor to the Silver Shadow, the Silver Spirit marked a new era for Rolls-Royce with its more modern, squared-off design and improved engineering. By 1987, the model had undergone subtle enhancements, including refinements to its suspension and interior appointments, maintaining the marque’s reputation for opulence and smooth performance.

Powered by Rolls-Royce’s famed 6.75-liter V8 engine paired with a GM-sourced automatic transmission, the Silver Spirit delivered effortless cruising and near-silent operation. Its self-leveling suspension system, derived from Citroën technology, ensured a consistently smooth ride regardless of road conditions or passenger load.

Inside, the 1987 Silver Spirit featured hand-crafted wood veneers, deep-pile wool carpets, and Connolly leather upholstery, exemplifying Rolls-Royce’s commitment to craftsmanship. Technological updates during this period included improved climate control and optional anti-lock brakes, reflecting the brand’s gradual embrace of modern automotive advancements. As the company claimed, “No Rolls-Royce motor car stems from a single blinding act of inspiration. It emerges—over a number of years—by a process of evolution. So it is with the Silver Spirit.”
