HISTORY历史
The Silver Spirit is often seen as the first of the modern Rolls Royces.银奖精神往往被视为第一代劳斯莱斯. Some purists ignore it for that very reason.有些类似不理这个原因. In comparison with previous models, its shape is hardly classic, but it is still classy, despite the over-large rectangular front headlamps and huge square rear light clusters.比起以前的型号,其形状是难以经典,但仍在设备一流,尽管超额长方形大门前广场后方大灯和巨大的光群.
Buyers chose between the short wheelbase Silver Spirit and the huge long wheelbase Silver Spur which, apart from their bodies, were basically the same car.买家选择之间的巨大精神和短轴距银银延长轴距,除了身体,基本上同车. Three incarnations of both cars appeared between 1980 and 1997; the Mark I (1980-1989), the Mark II (1989-1993) and the Mark III (1993-1996).三化身轿车出现在1980年和1997年;马克(1980-1989)马克(1989-1993)和马克二三(1993-1996).
To tide the showrooms over until the all-new Silver Seraph was introduced in 1998, the later Silver Spirits was relaunched as the Silver Dawn (1996-1998) but, aside from rather clever computer-controlled suspension, the recipe was basically the same.渡过了,直到所有的展室--新银seraph于1998年后来重新被神的银色黎明(1996-1998年),但银牌,除了比较巧妙电脑控制暂停精华基本上相同.
All models were powered by the same 6750cc V8 engine (aside from a few long wheelbase 'Flying Spur' models produced with a turbocharged version of this powerplant in 1994).所有型号都装有同样6750ccV8发动机(除了少数长轴距'飞动'的模式制作一个增压版本电站于1994年). These days, Rolls Royces have BMW V12 engines under the bonnets: somehow it isn't quite the same.这些天来,劳斯莱斯已在引擎盖宝马v12引擎:它是有点不太一样.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
There is still something unique and special about owning one of these cars ?还有一些特殊的独特罝这些车? and about the statement it still makes.还有大约声明. Valet parkers spring into action on your arrival.代客停车春天到行动>你的到来. Doormen leap to your aid, waving lesser cars to less exalted berths.阍飞跃贵援助,挥动小客车泊位少倜.
Truly, a Rolls Royce has presence and plenty of it.确实,劳斯莱斯也存在很大. It's hide-covered interior smells ?它的藏匿涵盖室内气味? almost literally ?几乎从字面上? of money.钱. Stand outside it and the sheer size overwhelms.站在外面,规模制伏. Walk round it and you should take your rucksack.环绕它和你应该取你背囊.

All around you, there?s craftsmanship that would send the Antiques Roadshow team into sheer ecstasy.你身旁有?收盘工匠,将派队作客古董摇头丸成一派. Anything that couldn?t be veneered has been chromed; switches, door handles, ashtrays, air vents; only the nasty plastic column stalks are a reminder of the 20th century.凡是记不起来?笔会一直单板贴铬;交换机、门柄、烟灰盅、空气通风口;只有恶劣塑料栏秆备忘20世纪.
You sit high up, of course, with a commanding view of the proletariat who remain mightily impressed by that enormous front grille, with the famous silver lady statue astride it.你坐在高高的,当然由于无产阶级同指挥者仍然勤勤恳恳的印象,巨大铁栅门前,与著名女塑像银色交汇. After a few miles, you won?t care that this car has the drag co-efficient of a garden shed.几英里之后,你赢了?笔都关心这车拖两园一棚效益. All that matters is that behind that endless bonnet, you?ve achieved a superior kind of peace with the world.总之是落后无尽头盖,你呢?味取得优势种与世界和平.
