1981 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit review from South Africa
"The best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had no failures on the car.
Due to the excessive heat we experience in summer, 45 to 52 degrees, I fitted an American Flexolite Fan (Flex Fan). This has worked very well and I would recommend it.
I use the car every day, and normally travel every second weekend close on 2000 kilometers.
I have removed four of the six silencers, leaving only the back two. This has lessened the heat build up under the car, and improved fuel consumption.
I average 5/6 kilometers to the litre, averaging 140 kilometers an hour on a 600 kilometer trip.
General comments?
I am very satisfied with the performance, it has never failed to deliver when presented with a challenge which I enjoy.
I also own a 71 Shadow, and have made the same conversions on it.
