Vehicle Description
What can you say but "WOW!" about this stunning combination Silver
Shadow II finished in 2-tone Masons Black over Brewster Green with
hand-painted fine lines in moss green to the waist lines and the
hubcap beauty rings. The Connolly interior is finished in super
rich "House Of Commons" green. The interior makes for an absolutely
striking combination with the exterior. This Silver Shadow II was
sold new in Beverly Hills, California and resided in California
most of its life and then Texas and more recently Oregon, so she is
dry and clean throughout. It is a delicious presenting example
owned for many years by a private enthusiast who regularly
maintained the car. It was recently acquired by the Park-Ward Motor
Museum - a nation-wide leader in Rolls-Royce restoration with some
40 years Rolls-Royce and Bentley experience. This is the last of
the series of Silver Shadow and out of the 35,000 odd built, this
is amongst the last 700 built. As such, it has all the engineering
upgrades developed over the years of production. This Shadow II is
100% rust-free, very straight and the paint presenting in excellent
good clean condition. She was high-end repainted some 15 years ago
and the finish is consistent, very shiny and deep lustered showing
only the most minor of little chips and marks as you would
reasonably expect. The fine lines are hand-painted "craftsman of
the art" to the waist-rails and hubcap beauty trim rings. The car
is fitted with a ROW ("Rest Of World") specification front air dam
which is a great finishing touch. These were not available in the
US for a bizarre unsubstantiated safety regulation. The green
Connolly leather ~ simply the most striking you will see ~ is in
excellent condition throughout without any notable marks or
blemishes. It is supple and quite simply delicious. The burl walnut
wood finishes were refinished at the time of the repaint and are in
simply flawless factory condition. Those that know me know I very
rarely use that word, but they are without any imperfection and are
indeed perfect. And with the grace of Mother Nature, the rich deep
Milanese burl walnut is breath-takingly beautiful. I think it is
difficult not to describe the interior as anything less than
stunnin! Please have a look at the photo link of the many close-ups
of the leather. The dash is good with no leather pulling around the
vents and the headliner very "clean". The light green Westminster
carpets are in very fine condition and come with a driver-side and
rear seat lambswool mouton "over-rugs" for protection. The boot
(trunk) carpet with the same green theme is also in excellent
condition. All glass, chrome and bright work are excellent. All
lights, instruments, features and functions are in working order.
Mechanically, the car is subject to the 40 year service and
restoration experience of the Park-Ward Motor Museum's private
workshop and trained RR mechanics and craftsmen. Like every other
car delivered by Park-Ward it is offered for sale under our
"Predelivery Commissioning" program at no extra charge which
ensures everything is fully working order with all major minor
services up to date. So you get a turn key motor car with all in
excellent working and operating condition, fully inspected and
serviced. This includes the all important hydraulics & brakes -
fully inspected and pressure tested with any parts replaced and/or
over-hauled as required - reservoir, pumps, accumulators, valves,
lines, hoses, calipers and pads. All electrics; seats, windows,
gauges and instruments are fully gone thru and serviced as
required. The climate control in good working order with the heater
nice and hot and the air conditioning blowing icy cold. In summary,
the car is shipped with everything fully operational, down to the
smallest light bulb. The car is an extremely beautiful presenting
example that is well in advance of any Silver Shadow II and is in
excellent presentation and condition. A strong 10 out
