1981 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit
This 2-owner ’81
Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is one beautiful car! With a rare color combination—magnolia on chocolate brown interior—it
turns many heads. I’ve owned the car for
20 years and hate to see it go. This car
has always been babied and garage-kept. In excellent condition, the car comes with only 45, 000 original miles! You would be hard-pressed to find an ’81
Rolls in this good of shape! Here is a
more thorough description of the vehicle:
Exterior:
As you may know most
Rolls-Royces tend to be rust-free because of the aluminum body. That’s certainly the case for this car. To my knowledge the car has never been
wrecked. It has an extremely straight
frame. The body itself is in near mint
condition—no dings, dents, or scratches.
The paint is nearly
flawless all around. As you can tell
from the photos it is an off white. I
believe the proper term for it is “magnolia.” It is a rare color on this style.
The chrome is in
exceptional shape too. The window trim, bumpers, grill, and mirrors are in near mint condition. The hubcaps are brand
new from England. As one can see from
the photos, there is a small place in the “RR” label on the grill that is
beginning to peal. Though not that
noticeable, I want to make the buyer aware.
The glass is in perfect
condition. There are no scrapes or scratches—in mint condition all around.
The tires are brand new
as well.
Interior:
The interior is nearly 100%
original and in great shape as well. The
front seats have been professionally refurbished (2013) with certified
Rolls-Royce leather. The rear seats show some sign of wear, but as you can see
from the photos, it’s minimal.
The wood is in
exceptional shape. The wooden panels on
the doors have been professionally refurbished as well. They look better than
new. The burl wood dashboard looks brand new, although some hairline cracks can
be identified if examined up close.
The carpeting and
headliner is in perfect condition. I bought
all new floor mats a few years ago.
The radio (all original)
works and functions well. It does come
with a tape player but does not work that well the last time I checked. While all the gauges work, the odometer does
not function for some reason. It could
be as simple as a fuse. (I have put
fewer than 200 miles on the vehicle since it stopped working).
Mechanical:
The V-8 engine is as
solid as they come. The car has always
been meticulously maintained by Rolls-Royce certified mechanics. All electrical components have recently been
fixed and serviced. The exhaust, ignition, carburetors, and timing belts all run extremely well and smooth. The AC blows cold. The catalytic converter probably needs to be
replaced as it idles a little too loud for a Rolls-Royce. The rear hydraulic spheres tend to be a
little out of balance. They could use
some attention. Unless otherwise stated, there are no known mechanic issues with the vehicle.
No trades or
solicitors. Only serious offers please.
