For Sale: 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in Carey, Illinois

Here is a really fine and stunning example of a Silver Wraith II. It is the rare fuel injection model built specifically for the Californian market. These were only built in 1980 - the last year of the Silver Shadow model run. This one is production run 41,603C - the "C" suffix is for California fuel injection model.. With the last Silver Shadow/Wraith II being 41,648C, this car is within the last 50 Silver Wraith IIs ever made! In fact, of the 35,000 Silver Shadows, this one is one of the last. The Silver Wraith II is the long wheel base version of the Silver Shadow II. Easily identified by the same rear window (opera window) and standard fitment Everflex vinyl top, it is 4" longer in the rear door. This provides a noticeable increase in rear passenger space. This example is finished in gorgeous 2-tone Caribbean Blue over Shell Grey (silver) metallic with a matching grey Everflex top. Dual hand-painted fine-lines in grey adorn the waist-rails. The interior is finished in a very rich Navy blue with grey seat piping and rug binding to carry through the external colour theme of blue and grey. This is a totally clean and unmolested example that has been lovingly maintained all its life. It presents in original fashion right down to its factory Blaupunkt push button radio and Pioneer cassette player. A pampered Rolls-Royce, it was owned by a small-time Atlanta based Rolls-Royce collector and enthusiast that has lovingly maintained the car correctly. It is a Rolls-Royce that has been regularly driven and even on long tours which is so good for these cars. Having lived most its life in California she is very clean and dry throughout. Only in the last ten years has she been in the southern state and when not in use, always kept in a garaged environment. The interior presents very beautifully. The navy blue and grey piping theme is simply delightful. The leather is all in excellent condition, supple and without any major imperfection. The burr walnut wood finishes are very rich in grain and colour contrast. The door cappings appear to have been re-finished at some point (we estimate in the last 5 years) and were done extremely well presenting in entirely original finish and consistency. They are simply flawless. The rest of the wood on the dash is in good condition and presents well with only minor imperfections. Head lining is original and in super clean condition. The Wilton carpets are in perfect condition. The boot (trunk) carpet also finished in the same navy blue and grey piping theme is also in top condition. The body on this Wraith II is straight and the paint is shiny and lustrous. The car was repainted about 10 years ago and done so extremely well at a cost of some $25,000. It is in excellent presentation. It is entirely consistent with a deep lustre and shine, in need of nothing going forward but keeping her that way. The Everflex vinyl top is new from a few years ago and so presents perfectly. This car also has the European (Rest of World) colour-coded front air dam fitted. The whitewall tyres are in good near new condition with plenty of tread. The hubcaps, unique to the Wraith II, are excellent with no dents or imperfections. All remaining bright-work is in good condition as is glass, electrics and instruments. The odometer shows a very moderate 58,000 miles and although not verifiable it is justifiable by the overall condition of the car that they are original. For example, under the bonnet, the presentation is amazing. It has not been precision detailed but simply kept clean and tidy throughout its life. You must take the time to look at the photos of the engine bay as its presentation is of an extremely high standard. Simply stunning! The car is of very high standard and is an easy 10 out of 10 driver-condition rating.
