Vehicle Description
Here is a really stunning example of a Silver Shadow II. Finished
in 2-tone Silver Sand over Walnut - a masculine combination with
chocolate fine lines to the waist-rails and beige tan to the hub
cap beauty rings. Walnut is a an amazing colour in that in subdue
light it is dark and elegantly understated, whereas in full
sunlight, it takes on a rich golden bronze. Truly delightful. The
interior has handsome rich dark chocolate Connolly hides with light
tan carpets adorning the same chocolate leather on the edge piping.
The same theme carries through to the boot. The car proudly boasts
a low 25,000 miles! This is a very original unmolested example that
has been beautifully maintained and presents in excellent
condition. She has been fully work-shopped by us at Park-Ward.
Important costly items such as the hydraulics and brakes are fully
inspected and serviced as required. This includes brake pumps,
accumulators and checking of all brake hoses and system pressure
tested and bled. It is ready to drive and enjoy. The odometer shows
a low 25,800 and although this is not verifiable with
documentation, there can be no question it is accurate
(particularly when you look at the condition of the interior,
under-hood, brake pedal etc). It is very quiet and smooth on the
road without any of the typical "thumps" and "rattles" typical of
poor (or even averagely) maintained examples of this model. I cant
stress enough, just how beautiful this Shadow II is. The interior
is simply wonderful. The chocolate leather is in great condition
with little to no wear nor fading and true to its Connolly
characteristics. The leather really has been lovingly preserved and
shows the correct amount of patina. The burr walnut wood throughout
the car is stunning. All the wood appears to be original. It is
rare not see the wood cracked and peeling so for these to be
original and only proves its low mileage and cosseted life-style.
And, you have to thank Mother Nature for its beauty. The grain and
pattern with think knots makes it one of the most beautiful for
Rolls-Royce. Absolutely stunning! The head lining is a unique
feature in this example as it is all genuine leather. North
American cars came standard with broad cloth wool and most of the
other markets had Ambla vinyl fitted. Leather was an option and
this is one of very few cars ordered with this option. It is in
perfect condition. The original Wilton wool carpets with leather
binding are in excellent condition. Likewise is the leather finish
to the dash and top-roll. Even the boot (trunk) carpet with the
same theme is in amazingly excellent condition. The exterior
presentation of this Silver Shadow II is stunning. The body is
exceptionally straight and the paint is of excellent high standard
and finish. Areas of the paint appear to be original which is quite
unusual for a Silver Shadow as they usually all are faded by this
juncture. All over she is shiny, lustrous and totally consistent
with only the most minor marks and blemishes here and there. A
regular polish and wax from time to time and this car is great! The
car has a brand new set of white-wall tyres fitted so 100% tread
and the hubcaps are excellent with no imperfections in the
stainless rings or caps. All remaining bright-work is in good
condition. All electrics have been checked right down to the
smallest and insignificant dash and courtesy light. Even the clock
keeps good time! Under the bonnet, the presentation is amazing. It
has not been precision detailed but simply kept clean and tidy
throughout its life. The under-bonnet heat pads are in good shape.
You must take the time to look at the photos of the engine bay as
its presentation is like that of only a 5 year old example. Simply
stunning! The car is of very high standard and is an easy 10 out of
10 driver rating. www.park-ward.com
