On offer from a small private collection

Understood to have been previously maintained by marque specialists, RR & B Garages

Although, based on the Shadow floorpan, the Spirit offered considerable improvements in both ride and handling. By combining copious amounts of sound-deadening with the finest quality upholstery, Crewe's engineers kept intrusion from the 6.75 litre V8 engine to a muted hush. Unveiled at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Spirit II featured a sophisticated automatic ride control system that adapted to changing road conditions almost instantaneously, ergonomically enhanced `new look' dashboard, four-speed automatic transmission and standard-fit alloy wheels.

According to the original warranty document on file, 'G240 LWP' was supplied to its first owner on 1st February 1990 by S P Broughton & Company Ltd of Rutherford Way, Cheltenham. Specified in the attractive colour scheme of Midnight Blue over a Parchment Hide piped with Dark Blue, little is known of its early history before being acquired by the vendor's father in 2005 after seven previous keepers. Used sparingly since acquisition by its current family ownership, it is understood that the car was maintained by RR&B Garages of Stoke Prior, Bromsgrove before being laid up for some time but kept in running order.

According to the vendor, the Rolls-Royce has been used for various family events, with the most recent being his son's wedding some years ago. Upon inspection, the car was noted to be in running condition and moved around under its own power for our photography session, although the vendor noted that it has been stored for some time and will require some TLC prior to regular use. It was also noted that the paintwork (which appears original) will need some improvement should a prospective owner choose and that some rust bubbling is present on the corners of the wheel arches, although these appear to be relatively minor jobs for anybody proficient. Now offered for sale at No Reserve, 'G240 LWP' is accompanied by part of its original book pack with owner's manuals.
