1983 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit had a high degree of ride quality courtesy of the self-leveling suspension from the Silver Shadow, using a Girling automatic hydraulic ride height control system and gas-filled shock absorbers. The Silver Spur was a long-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit. And both models, the Silver Spirit, and the Silver Spur were the first Rolls-Royces to feature a retractable Spirit of Ecstasy.

This particular Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit was once owned by the circus artist Louis Knie. It has covered a mere 25,000 km from new. It is a Left Hand Drive example finished in ivory with a brown leather interior.

In 2012, the car was offered for sale at Coys 'Legende et Passion' Monaco sale where it was estimated to sell for €35.000 - €45.000.
