The original Silver Spirit was introduced in 1980 as the first of a new generation of models for the company. It formed the basis for the Flying Spur, Silver Dawn, Touring Limousine and Park Ward. The same chassis was also used by sister company, Bentley for their new Mulsanne/Eight series. The new car shared the basic floor pan of the Silver Shadow as well as that car's 6.75 L V8 engine and GM transmission

 

The Silver Spirit II and longer wheelbase Silver Spur II were introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show. Again, the suspension was the main innovation, with "Automatic Ride Control", a fully automatic system adjusting the dampers at all four wheels in real time.[ The dashboard was redesigned and other major innovations included the introduction of ABS braking and fuel injection as standard on all models. Originally retaining the three-speed Turbo Hydramatic GM400 transmission from earlier Spirits/Spurs, a four-speed unit (the GM 4L80E) was introduced in the winter of 1991.

 

he Silver Spirit III and Silver Spur III, introduced in 1993 with improvements to the traditional V8 A new intake manifold and cylinder heads upped power output, which was still stated simply as "adequate" in company literature. Dual airbags were another new feature, and the rear seats now adjusted independently. The active suspension system was also tweaked engine
