Here we have a very smart and tidy Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II finished in the very rare and refreshing colour of Light Oyster over parchment leather with brown piping and Portland stone carpets and burr walnut trim.
A very nice and unique colour combination.
The reason for this, we are informed, is that it was apparently the Rolls-Royce press and launch car where it proudly wore Rolls-Royce / Bentley’s own registration ‘2000 TU’.

Interestingly, there are a collection of both owner’s club and insurance valuations that run up to around £20,000.
Finding a Spirit in this condition is becoming a rare thing these days, and...
