The 1994 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 3

The third-generation Silver Spirit arrived in 1993.

This Rolls-Royce boasted improved cylinder head and intake designs, granting the model even better performance.

A smart semi-active suspension system was revised and airbags were added for greater front passenger safety.

The previous generation had already added standard fuel injection and ABS to the mix in 1989, making the MkIII Spirit highly advanced and safe for its era.

Secret compartments

Sharing via his YouTube channel, Life on Cars, car enthusiast and content creator Paul hopes to uncover hidden features in his ‘cheap’ Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit.

First, he comes across a compartment hidden in the driver’s armrest.

However, this isn’t just for storing road-trip snacks or an A-Z (IYKYK—and you should probably start investing in an anti-aging skincare regime).

From the days before smartphones never left our hands and connected wirelessly to our cars, it contains an old Motorola ‘brick phone’ that is still partially functioning.

Next, comes a ‘service plate’ hidden beneath a piece of tape in the trunk.

While Paul can’t be certain what its purpose was, he believes it was there to officially record services or recalls.

However, this example is completely blank.

His third and final find is an archaic, pre-OBD diagnostic port.

It’s discovered beneath a secret flap in the glove box.

Rolls-Royce has come a long way with its personalization since then, with the vehicles of wealthy clients being modded in the most astonishing ways.

What’s more, Supercar Blondie recently picked up her brand new Rolls-Royce customized from scratch.

 Her custom ‘Boracay Blue paint job on her Rolls-Royce Spectre was worth every penny.
