Description
1987 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Chassis no. SCAZS0002HCX21195 - Delivered new in Switzerland - Stamped books on file - Offered with Swiss registration document Evolution not revolution underpinned the Silver Shadow's metamorphosis to become the Silver Spirit. The basics remained the same with the monocoque bodyshell reworked with wider, lower and decidedly more aerodynamic styling. The Silver Spirit was the first model in Rolls-Royce's SZ series and was produced at the Crewe factory from 1980 to 1997. Power came via the tried-and-trusted all-alloy V8, tweaked for more power and torque. In early carburetted form 198.5bhp and 340 lb-ft was enough to waft this 2,245kg beast forward with consummate ease, while the hydro-pneumatic self-levelling suspension kept passengers cosseted from uneven road surfaces. Like all of its illustrious forbears it was engineered to the maximum and supplied with fittings and finishes that were second-to-none – Connolly leather, Wilton carpets, walnut veneers... etc. As ever with Rolls-Royces of the era, the car could be ordered with practically limitless combinations of bespoke options. Whatever you ordered, you were assured the finest materials and the highest standards of craftsmanship. Delivered new via the Garage de l'Athénée in Geneva to its first owner in Saint-Sulpice, Canton of Vaud, this left-hand-drive Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit saloon is finished in refined Dark Oyster paint with Mushroom leather upholstery. The accompanying history file is comprehensive, including photocopies of the car's original build documentation. These records detail its specifications, assembly process, checks, and inspections, along with the purchase invoice dated March 1987 and its Warranty Acknowledgment document. The stamped service book attests to regular maintenance, further supported by recent service invoices. Notably, a major service was carried out by Bahman Cars in 2021, which included addressing rust issues and a full repaint. Additionally, the car's anti-pollution certificate is stamped for 2021 and 2023. Today, the odometer reads 208,078 km. This Silver Spirit is offered with its original Swiss carte grise (registration document) with a veteran expertise certificate stamped on 17 February 2021. Please kindly note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in STUDEN (SWITZERLAND): please contact lisa.salama@bonhams.com and nina.skunca@bonhams.com for booking.
