Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit/Spur/Dawn (1985)
for sale

Price: US $12,000.00

Description:

Royalty on wheels. This 1985 Silver Spur has very low miles. I have put a lot of work into it after it was not driven for many years after the original owner passed away. Some small touch ups here and there left. I purchase the vehicle for $16, 500 March of 2011. I have over $15, 000 invested in the last 3 years with most of the work done by my local Bentley dealership and the rest by a British car expert in Jacksonville, FL. My loss is your gain.
Drove it 300 miles in a day last week. Ran great!
The service completed in the last 1500 miles includes: Transmission complete removal, check and seals replaced.
Replace Air Recirculation Valves and hoses
Rebuild Alternator and replace belt
Replace Air Conditioning hoses and some fittings. Update to R134
Replace Spark plugs, plug leads(wires), Replace distributor and rotor arm.
Replace valve cover gaskets
Replace rear brake pads
Replace Rear axle hub seals
Replace Right Rear taillight assembly
Replace several fuel lines and seals between the fuel tank and fuel pump
Of course oil changes and a coolant change
Most of these were just needed due to age and the low mileage. She is running and driving very well now and should continue to do so. Storage is not a friend to these vehicles.
A little further back the wiper motors were replaced; Oxygen sensors replaced (about 4 years ago-less than 3000 miles)
There are a few cosmetic issues that still need to be addressed. Front quarter panel has a chip in the paint and the rear has a similar issue. Otherwise, a very nice 30 year old Rolls Royce. The power seats should be a relatively easy fix from my research, but their position suited me fine(work well for someone 5'9 to about 6'2, so I focused on the mechanical updates.
Car has a true charm about it that has to be experienced. Selling because our family is growing and we need to buy a family vehicle and the Rolls is a hobby car...so just trying to free up the funds/garage space for a Suburban/Yukon XL
