This is a 4-door full-size luxury car sedan type, produced from 1980 to 1989. The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was really a clever rebody of the outgoing Shadow - brought up to date with a little more power, and more angular styling. The new cars showed a considerably improved ride and roadholding not at least due to the new Girling automatic height control in combination with gas shock absorbers. As expected the cars were luxuriously appointed with sumptuous leather seats and deep pile carpets giving the utmost comfort and a veneer covered fascia retaining a traditional appearance. In addition to long wheelbase versions limousines became available with extended passenger compartments.
