1990 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit | Warrington, Cheshire

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is the Crewe saloon that carried the marque's quiet, formal manner through the 1980s and 1990s. It is known for a hushed, level ride, a square-shouldered body, an upright radiator grille and a cabin of polished wood and leather. The spring-loaded Spirit of Ecstasy on the radiator retracts if it is knocked. This 1990 car is finished in Silver with a Blue interior, a cool, restrained pairing that suits its straight-edged lines. It has the 6.75-litre petrol V8 and is in very good condition. The upright body gives clean, simple shapes to frame. The formal proportions and wood-and-leather cabin suit period photography, film and TV scenes set in late twentieth-century Britain, and advertising or fashion shoots that call for understated luxury. On static display at an event, the grille and Spirit of Ecstasy give it presence. It also makes a dignified car for weddings and personal hires. The car is based in Warrington, Cheshire.
