1979 ROLLS ROYCE SHADOW

Presented in the striking and elegant combination of Seal Grey with a Dark Blue leather interior, complemented by rich wood veneer trim, this 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is a beautifully balanced example of timeless British luxury. The colour combination is particularly handsome and suits the car’s dignified proportions perfectly.

The car benefits from a full exterior respray carried out around 2015, giving it a fresh and refined appearance while staying true to its original specification. The paintwork presents extremely well, with a deep and even finish befitting the model.

Inside, the cabin is classic Rolls-Royce opulence, with soft Dark Blue leather, beautifully presented wood trim, and the added comfort of factory lambswool foot mats, further enhancing the serene and luxurious atmosphere.

On the road, the car is smooth, quiet and composed, exactly as a Rolls-Royce should be. The Silver Shadow II, produced from 1977 to 1980, introduced several key improvements over the early model, including rack and pinion steering for more precise control, revised front suspension for improved comfort, and an updated dashboard and heating system that brought the car more in line with contemporary expectations. This later specification makes the Silver Shadow II significantly more refined and enjoyable to drive than its predecessor.

This example has been regularly maintained throughout its life, supported by a history file containing maintenance invoices and MOT certificates. It starts readily, idles smoothly and delivers the trademark "magic carpet" ride that these cars are celebrated for.

A superb opportunity to acquire one of the final-year Silver Shadow IIs — a model that showcases hand-built British craftsmanship and continues to represent excellent value in the classic Rolls-Royce market.
