Vehicle Description
Collectible Motorcar of Atlanta is proud to offer this stunning
example of a 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II. Here is a really
fine and stunningly original example of a Silver Wraith II.
Finished in Chestnut (metallic) with beige Connolly leather with
matching beige fine lines to the waist-rails. Interior carpeting is
finished in matching light tan.
This is a 2 owner car from new - this is worth repeating; a 2-owner
car from brand new! Build date; 11/80 and VIN 41586 making it the
62nd last Silver Shadow (SY) series to come from Crewe (last
number: 41648). She was delivered in February 1981 in Texas, then
transferred residence only once in its life up to the mid-west for
professional storage (rarely if never driven). There the car sat in
climate controlled storage for the last 10 years and shows an
unquestionable 25,000 miles.The car is entirely and completely
original, has NEVER been restored. When we say this car is in
fantastic condition, we am being completely literal. It is the
closest thing you will ever find to a show-room condition
example.
Consignor states:
100% original body & paint.
100% original Everflex top with no issues.
100% original interior with Connolly hide that looks and feels
brand new.
100% original wood and other interior fittings.
This is an amazingly all original car with no modifications - from
the fine-lines, right down to the original Blaupunkt push button
radio and separate cassette player. Being a Texan car, later in
Wisconsin for storage (so never used) it has been freed from the
perils of any type of harsh weather and is very clean underneath
and all over. The car has zero rust issues of any kind, not even
light scale on under surfaces. The body on this Wraith II is
entirely straight and the paint is shiny and lustrous. The car
still sports 100% of its original paint, which is truly quite
amazing given that Rolls-Royce used a single stage paint process
that generally did not "go the distance". To wit, most Rolls-Royces
of this era have all been repainted. For this one to be original
paint and still remain shiny is a testament to its careful
ownership. This is especially true with metallic paints. Sometimes
you might see a solid color (non-metallic) maintain its originality
but very rarely, a heavy metallic - that the color Chestnut is.
Even before its tenure in storage over the last 10 years, it could
only have been stored in a climate controlled environment when not
in use, for it to be this nice. When you look down the sides of the
car, they are very straight and true. The paint presents
beautifully, super-shiny and, as surprisingly, with virtually no
marks at the base of the "A" and "C" pillars (typical lead-wiping
joints). There are only the most insignificant imperfections here
and there from its minimal use, but consistent with a very
low-mileage car. Certainly, it needs nothing other than a wax from
time to time. The interior of this Wraith II is pretty much close
to perfect. The beige Vaumol-Luxan Connolly hide leather is 100%
original from the factory. It has never been re-dyed and is in
absolutely outstanding condition with no tears nor fading and not a
single sign of wear. It is super supple and soft - true to its
Connolly characteristics. Perhaps these seats were covered and
hence protected, because they are truly close to flawless. Have a
look at the photos where we include many close ups of the leather.
Our best description, is the leather looks like that of a 2-3 year
old Silver Shadow/Wraith II. A great welcome with true "original
Luxan leather" is the color characteristic. If you look at the
pictures of the interior, there are some close-up shots that
clearly show the color is not just plain beige, but with a
"burnished" tone to the leather.
Owners and enthusiasts will know, that any Silver Shadow or Wraith
II in this incredible original condition that has covered so few
miles, is in need of completely going thru both mechanically and
operationally. The owner states that the car has recently had the
necessary work completed to the vehicle just recently before it was
brought to Collectible Motor Car of Atlanta. The type of work that
has been completed includes every major and minor service and
specifically things like the hydraulics. Every single aspect of the
system will be gone thru and serviced in detail; brake pumps,
reservoir flushed and cleaned with new screens fitted, accumulators
replaced, accumulator valves tested and rebuilt if necessary,
calipers serviced and rebuilt if deemed necessary, pads with all
new rubber flexible hoses replaced. Hydraulic work will extend to
the rear height control feature as well. This work alone, is some
$10,000. The tires on the car are original Michelin X whitewalls
and will be replaced with the best tire of choice; Avon Turbosteel
whitewalls. If you apply this attention to detail, this is what we
will do to every aspect of the car including operational items such
as AC, heater, electric windows, seats etc... right down to the
most insignificant light bulb in the dash.
