Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit in rare and aptly named “Balmoral Green” with gold fine lines and magnolia Connolly hide interior. The seats are finished with dark green piping that coordinated with the exterior beautifully. This would arguably be amongst the nicer 80s Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit in the country.The body and paint is in very good condition with only the slightest imperfections. With the car still “dressed” in its original single stage paint it is not perfect to current paint methodology and standards but it does have an excellent original presentation. It is certainly high in luster and consistent. Being a low mileage example there are virtually no dings or dents which you would normally expect on any car of this age still sporting its original paint. There are some unusual scratches in 3 of the glass panels which I cannot explain. A fellow enthusiast suggested it could have been caused by an ice window scraper. The interior burl walnut wood finishes are excellent. The door cappings were redone by us as they were showing noticeable signs of clearcoat hair-line cracking. On a lesser example, we would not have redone them as they were not so bad but on this example being so otherwise beautiful, we elected to re do them. These are in now like brand new with some 20+ coats of clear lacquer wet-sanded between coats to provide a very deep glass-like luster. The dash, centre console and vanity mirrors are all original and only minor hairline marks can be seen on parts of the centre dash. The Connolly hides are pretty much without marks or blemishes with only a slight showing on the driver side bolster, and presents very elegantly. The seats are super soft in almost perfect condition (nothing has been redyed). The dash “top-roll” and rear parcel shelf are nice. Almost all Spirits and Spurs from 1981 thru to the late 90s have suffered sun and heat damage which causes the leather to dry and contract. Especially around the windshield vents. The headliner is simply “like new” and the carpets still “wool-ball” like new ones. Having spent almost all its life indoors and in the last 20 years, climate controlled storage at all times, the car is very clean and dry and there are absolutely no signs of rust. Mechanically the car has been well maintained. The condition and presentation under the hood is excellent testimony to this.
