"The best car in the world"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have fitted two new hydraulic pumps for the brakes and suspension.

New whitewall tyres.

The car has not let me down at all. The things I have had replaced have been for my own peace of mind.

The leather on the seats had cracked and gone hard in places, so I have had them retrimmed in Connelly Leather to factory spec. and colours.

General comments?

I love to drive the car and think it is the most comfortable car that I have ever owned.

The interior trim is light blue and all the walnut is like new, so it makes you feel good as it is not dull inside the car.

Petrol consumption is not good, only 13 to 15 mpg, but you are driving around in `The Best Car In The World`.. To see more of this particular car click-on www.rollsroycespirit.hostnp.com I just love it to bits..

I have an '85 Silver Spirit, and love it! It is rare Georgian Silver with Slate hide piped in black. The hides have held up remarkably well. and are still "as new", both fresh and soft! The woodwork is still like glass! Gas ,milage around 13 mpg, not too great, but the comfort and fun are well worth it. Truly the "Best Car in The World" hands down. One must learn to fix simple things, as parts/labor are more for this car. Careful periodic maintenance gives total enjoyment. I've had dozens of these cars, this one is the finest I've ever seen, and only 42867 miles!!

Hi

I am about to become a Rolls owner. I am going to look at a 1986 Silver Spur. What are the important things to look for when buying one second hand?
