This is absolutely one of the most pristine original examples of
the 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II with a mere 12,390 miles from
new. This was the last year of the Silver Shadow IIs and this
particular car has long been referred to as "simply the best
example to be found anywhere in the world". It is in nearly
showroom condition in every regard and runs and drives as new. We
love the Silver Sand over Walnut livery which is both elegant and
timeless. This Silver Shadow II was built in June of 1980 and by
October 11, 1990, had accumulated 6,876 miles with one very
long-time owner. By 2020, this Rolls had accumulated 11,399 miles
and was sold by Daniel Schmidtt & Co out of St. Louis to Stephen
Stefano of Emerald Isle, NC. It has now accumulated 12,399 miles
and has been very well maintained both cosmetically and
mechanically. This Silver Shadow would be very competitive on the
showfield or spectacular for using and enjoying on drives or tours.
The Silver Shadow II was the ultimate in luxury, with power seats,
mirrors, windows, split level air conditioning, disc brakes, a
sophisticated suspension that provided an incredible ride for its
passengers and ample power from its powertrain. The livery is
nearly as new in Silver Sand over Walnut. The paint has excellent
shine and luster with only a few small paint chips and normal
minute lacquer cracks in areas with factory leaded seams. The
chrome and stainless are in showroom condition. The white wall
radials look great against the Walnut paint. All the lenses and
trim are in excellent as new condition. The Beige leather interior
is complimented with Walnut piping and the light beige carpet has
Walnut Mouton sheepskin overlays that are also in excellent
condition. The leather is soft and supple and is in spectacular
original condition. The driver's seat is in exceptional condition.
The burl walnut wood is in nearly perfect original condition with
only a couple of very small cracks that are only noticeable upon
close inspection. The Blaupunkt Frankfurt Am/FM stereo is
complimented by the Pioneer Cassette unit. The engine compartment
is also in showroom condition and features the venerable
Rolls-Royce 6.75-liter V8. Mechanically, this Rolls has been
fastidiously maintained. The last owner is still searching for the
file, which was comprehensive but has now been misplaced. The air
conditioning and all components work as new. We hope to have it
located for inclusion in its sale. Included in the sale are the
tools, fire extinguisher and car cover. For more information and
details, please call, text or email Chip Henson at 1.602.509.4776

at our Phoenix showroom.
