Vehicle Description
This is one very beautiful Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow finished in
"Silver Mink" with Navy Connolly hide interior and matching floor
rugs. The car is finished with hand-painted blue fine-lines on the
body waist-line and the hub-cap trim rings. The color is a stunning
combination with the Silver Mink presenting as a light blue/green
silver under typical light but then transforms into a very elegant
and under-stated "straight silver" in lower light and at night
time, giving the car a very formal look. The navy leather sets the
interior off perfectly. The car is truly immaculate and is a
confirmed show car having taken out several awards in both local
and Rolls-Royce shows. The body on the car is straight as a die and
the paint is simply stunning. It has been a South Western USA car
its entire life and was professionally repainted in the last 10
years at a ridiculous cost of some $30,000. This is how fussy the
previous owner was. It was a complete repaint with all chrome off,
doors off, jams done correctly and all new rubbers and gaskets
used. The quality is amongst the best you will see. Today it
remains close to perfect. It is without a scratch nor chip nor
mark. You could comfortably describe it as "perfect" - completely
consistent, high in luster and no signs of any over-spray on any
externally fitted part. In fact, all bright-work is so deep in
luster, that I am certain they were all highly buffed and polished
during the repaint phase (door sills, hubcaps, etc). The interior
of the car is in stunning condition with virtually perfect original
Connolly hide leather. Excellent testament to its relatively low
mileage (any lines you may see in the photos are the "natural"
creases in the leather - for some reason, they are accentuated in
the photos whereas in real life the seats present with welcoming
patina that is just gorgeous). The leather is soft and supple. All
the wood is amazing having been completely redone at a cost of some
$4,000. This includes, dash, console, doors, vanity mirrors and
front & rear window surrounds. The headlining is also in incredible
condition without any stains or smoking discolouration. Carpets are
likewise. The deep grain and glossy finish of the rich grained wood
in this example combined with the regal Navy blue make the interior
of this car very rich and inviting. Overall it is like new and
smells like it too. All interior feature and functions are fully
operational including all electrics - seats, windows, gauges, clock
etc. The A/C blows icy cold and heater working well. Everything is
also clean and crisp. It has its original push-button radio and
factory installed 8-track cassette - not many left these days.
Mechanically, the car is in superior condition and the presentation
under the bonnet and under carriage clearly shows that. It has not
been "done-up" for sale but maintained in original condition. The
car has been incredibly maintained on a very much "no expense
spared" basis. This includes all hydraulics and brakes which have
been inspected and tested, working well. Exhaust is good. The car
has been fully work-shop inspected. The car has just recently had a
new set of Uniroyal whitewalls fitted. The car comes with the
correct jack, tools and operating manual. This is a true and
undisputable 10 out of 10 driver example that needs nothing else
doing and, to reiterate to make the point, is a border-line show
car example. It makes for a gorgeous "weekender" that you could
also take to your next RR meet with pride and joy. Please take the
time to look at the photo link below to many additional photos
where I have endeavored to capture how pretty this car is.
