1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit review from North America
"Lovely"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the rear leveling system valves, brakes, belts, and the hoses.
General comments?
This is a wonderful car and I would not own any other make. It is a joy to drive and reeks of wealth.
The gas mileage is poor, but I have learned to live with it.
The interior is starting to wear, but that is because I use it as my office as well as my daily driver.
I have found it very hard to find a decent and honest mechanic so I work on it myself. Most mechanics here in South Florida are only interested in overcharging you and ripping you off!
