1981 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 6750cc 4 door saloon Guide; £3,000 - £4,000 Registration: NRD794 Chassis: SCAZS0000ACH01426 Odometer: 102,277 Transmission: Auto MOT: Exempt • Bills amounting to £7274 from 2017 for mechanical works  • Only 2 former keepers • Supplied with the private registration number NRD 794 • Original Blaupunkt Frankfurt audio system Outside  The original colour paint of metallic gold presents well overall with no visible signs of corrosion or damage though there are various minor imperfections as would be expected of a car of this age. The chrome work is in good order as are the wheels. Inside  The interior is typically Rolls-Royce with sumptuous leather, quality wood and chrome work. The leather would benefit from a deep clean and feed but is in good order although the drivers central arrest has a very small tear which could be repaired, the carpets are original and are good apart from the driver’s heel pad area which is worn heavily; though a set of lambswool over mats would solve that issue. The electric front seats are fully operational as are all the ancillaries and gauges. Mechanicals  The engine fires into life instantly and quickly settles down to a smooth idle with a pleasing burble from the twin exhausts. There is good oil pressure and a healthy charge showing on the ammeter, It is worth noting that there is a rattle from the exhaust which would indicate that a mounting bracket may need adjusting. On the road the Rolls drives as it should with good brakes, suspension, steering and smooth gear changes. There was a significant amount of work carried out in 2017 to the brakes and steering which would explain why it drives so well. History  Being registered on 5th February 1981, the Spirit is a very early car having been launched in late 1980. Our vehicle check indicates that the first owner kept the car for 29 years until 2000.  There is very little paperwork with the car apart from a V5C and the invoices from 2017. Our Opinion  This Rolls is in good order overall with all the usual expense to the brakes and suspension being done in 2017. With a really good deep clean and some minor cosmetics, this car will become a superb classic for very little outlay.
