Hi Fellow PH'ers
After years of lurking in various forums I have finally scratched the Rolls Royce itch.

A lengthy search turned up this



Collected last weekend and now as happy as a very happy thing.
Guess I shall be on here frequently asking obvious questions and looking for advice.

Nice. More pictures and details required

Hi GKC

OK I will get some more pictures and post them up asap.
The car is a 1993 Silver Spirit 2.
Originally commissioned for a Hotel in Singapore to use as a courtesy car for VIP Guests.
Spent the first 5 years or so in Singapore and then came back to the U.K.
I especially wanted a car that was not white or black or grey.............. so blue or red seemed the only choices in quantity that were available to buy.
There were not many green cars about.


I fell for this colour combination immediately.
More information and piccies to follow

Lovely. Hope you enjoy the wafting whilst snorting leather. Have taken my 1990 Spirit 2 touring around Europe.

That looks lovely. Always wanted one but garage is not big enough. Be interested to hear how you get on with it

[robrobc]

I will keep you posted on how I get on.
Plus I will get some more piccies.



Just working out a plan of action to address a few little things.



The car coped really well with the 140 mile journey back home after purchase, seemingly getting smoother as the time went on. (hope I am not tempting fate!!!!)
Air con really cold, all levels stable etc etc.
A bit of paintwork to do and one small bit of welding on the passenger sill to be done.
The car was serviced by Silver Lady in London and they gave both the car and the owners/collectors a glowing report.
Will update when things move on.

Thanks JeyJey
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I am pleased that I decided to hang out for the colour combinations I wanted.
Will post an update when I have something to report.
