1996 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit III, 38,000 miles only, last owner since 1997

This is a beautiful, low mileage, well maintained example which was the elderly owner's pride and joy, now for sale due to bereavement. 

The car has covered just 38,000 miles and benefits from an excellent service record which details previous maintenance at 1528, 4206, 5431, 7111, 10482, 23071, 27966, 29912, 31174, 32399, 34691, 37250 and 38127 miles, all servicing having been carried out by Bentley up to 34691, the last two services by a respected marque specialist based in Crewe.

In total only 139 Silver Spirit III were built in 1996, of which 111 were right hand drive. The 1996 model benefited from the later Zytec engine management system which improved performance and offered a very worthwhile improvement in fuel economy, these cars are readily able to return 20mpg !

The car was purchased by the elderly gentleman in May 1997 with just 1,500 miles recorded and he retained the vehicle until his passing in 2020 when ownership transferred to his son who only drove the car when he delivered it to our premises.

Always garaged and kept under a tailored Rolls Royce car cover which is included in the sale, the condition of the car is excellent, a real credit to the owner, with the paintwork, leather and woodwork all in first class order. To drive the vehicle is a total joy, the car performing beautifully and everything working exactly as it should just as you would expect with such low mileage and excellent service history. These later cars really are a superbly cosseting driving experience with quietness, smoothness and ride quality which no modern car can achieve.

Finished in the very popular Royal blue with magnolia hide, blue top roll, magnolia knee roll complemented with dark blue carpets which are protected by dark blue lambs wool over rugs. The burl walnut veneers are exceptionally attractive in this car and the rear compartment is further enhanced by vanity mirrors.

Specification of the period to include dual zone climate control air conditioning, electric seats, heated seats with two settings, cruise control, original Alpine stereo with CD changer, central locking, alarm, immobiliser, electric windows, electric mirrors, headlamp washers, driver and passenger air bags, 16 inch alloy wheels with narrrow band whitewall tyres, all with ample tread. The car is supplied with a tailored Rolls Royce car cover.

Supplied with both original keys, original book pack containing owners manuals, stamped service book, original tool kit all present and correct etc.

An excellent example of the relatively rare and highly sought later cars with low mileage and low ownership which will delight any marque enthusiast.
