Model history:

As successor to the Silver Shadow, Rolls-Royce launched the so-called Silver Spirit in 1980, which was produced in series I to IV until the late 1990s. The engine used in the series was generally a 6.75-liter V8 - when it came to the engine power, the British carmaker often held back with information and specifications and the company only spoke of "sufficient" or "enough" power when it came to the number of horsepower. On the other hand, the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit hardly hid its claim to luxury: a Girling level control system and gas-hydraulic shock absorbers - later hydropnematics - ensured particularly high ride comfort. Sufficient place, noble materials and a multiplicity at standard equipment convinced in the interior of the luxury sedan.
