Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 2

Happy New Year and welcome to our first ‘Vehicle of the Month’ 2022 blog post.

The series was launched in 2020, and aims share some of the most fascinating and remarkable car and motorbike stories, restoration projects and travel adventures of our customers, uploaded on their own Car Facts Disc. 
This year we begin with Lee Jones and his beautiful Rolls Royce Silver Spirit 2. Here is his story.
"I have been gifted CarFacts and started to upload the story of this beautiful Silver Spirit 2 owned by me, Lee Jones. I've owned the Spirit for the past 4 years. The purchase of the car was the work of a lifetime ambition, originating when I was 6 years old and given a Rolls Royce toy car. That kick-started the love of the marque to this day. My Spirit was a good car to begin with, but over the years, I have tried to improve it. It's had lots of mechanical repairs carried out, a bare metal respray and wood and leather treated. This year I will refurbish the wheels.

CarFacts helps me to tell that story to others when I attend shows or car meets. It also allows me to pick up potential hire work for film and TV, which I had been wanting to get into, given there is an option on the app to contact me if a viewer is interested in the car. Likewise, the same applies if you are considering selling your car, CarFacts gives a potential purchaser the details on your cars personal story. I look forward to building out my Spirits profile on CarFacts and seeing the app grow its followers as it evolves its features". Lee Jones
