So true, Graham has been incredibly generous with his time. He always has a very considered opinion, he has thought about these things very carefully and fully analyses the issues before coming to a result.

Never a pretty car, but this revision was a significant improvement. Today the Spirit offers the best value entry into classic RR ownership.

The Rolls Royce Silver Spirits are really beginning to come in to their own, and really look the part. The Series 4 cars are particularly special and worth finding - they are still great value!

The back looks like a Hillman Hunter.

More commonly it gets refered to as an American style car from the back. In real life it actually looks the part and blends with the rest of the car.

[@peterbradshaw8018]

I am hard pressed to recall an American car remotely resembling the Silver Spirit. Oh yes Dwl what separates this is the smooth front panel without the ugly joints. I despised that cutline in the GM products of that era and I was a child then. It looked cheap.

Thought the SZ designer was Fritz Fella 🤔

Was to begin with, then Graham became Chief Stylist! Thanks
