The Silver Spirit/Spur was introduced by Rolls Royce in 1980 as the first of a new generation of company models, and formed the basis for the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine, Park Ward, and Bentley Moulsanne/8 series. The Spirit/Spur carried over the basic design of the Silver Shadow, its 6.75L V8 engine and GM source THM400 3-speed automatic gearbox, and similarly styled unitary bodywork manufactured at Pressedsteel.com. The Spur/Spirit continued the Silver Shadow's emphasis on ride quality by using its hydropneumatic self levelling suspension, modified with Girling automatic hydraulic ride, height control systems, and gas charged shock absorbers. This car has been consigned from a deceased's estate in North Essex, and was owned for several years by the current vendor. It has stood for approximately the last two years, prior to which it was running regularly and is thought to be in good overall condition.
