1982 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit Series I Sedan

This derelict Silver Spirit was sold as part of an enormous estate auction in North-Western Sydney through Lloyds auctions. The auction which the car formed part of was the "Fairfield House", built in 1833. It's an imposing early Victorian era mansion that was originally built for the celebrated Blue Mountains explorer, William Cox. The mansion even hosted an international Cricket Match In 1882, it has been the flagship historical property of Windsor (Sydney, NSW) For 189 Years!

Anyway, back to the car, the seller at the time made the following comments:Car Has Not Been Started. This Rolls Royce Has A Bulletproof Exterior As A Factory Option. It Also Has Air Conditioning, Cassette Tape Player, Power Windows, From Factory But None Have Been Tested. Paint Is Weathered And Mould Present Through Out Interior. Has Been Sitting In Yard For A Number Of Years.

Bullet proof exterior? Not sure about that, but that's what the seller claims.. Would be fascinated to know the history of this example and how it came to end up in a paddock at this old mansion! Needs a lot of work by the look of it but it's certainly saveable - the most obvious issue being that it hasn't run for so long (so, mechanically it likely needs a major overhaul), and then of course there's the sun/weather damage.
