Vehicle Description

     

After the success of the Cloud and S series saloons, Rolls Royce wanted to introduce a new more modern up to date luxury saloon. Introduced on October 5, 1965, the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series were unveiled at the Paris Salon Motor Show with rave reviews. The Silver Shadow was a limited production Saloon that used the familiar 6.75 litre V8 engine built by Rolls Royce. The new Silver Shadow was 3 and a half inches narrower and 7 inches shorter than the previous model but still managed to make more interior space for the passengers. The Silver Shadow II was redesigned for model year 1977 and ran until 1980 with just 8425 examples made worldwide. Many automobile journalists have said over the years that the Silver Shadow and T Series Saloons are amongst the best handling and most loveliest of the older generations of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars.

European Motor Studio is proud to offer this stunning 1978 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II finished in a beautiful shade of Peacock Blue Lacquer over Blue Connolly hides with contrasting Magnolia piping and blue Wilton wool carpets. This beautiful Silver Shadow left the Crewe production line in September 1978 and was then invoiced to North America. The car was purchased by Myrtle Proctor of Proctor and Gamble, one of the largest companies in the world in November of 1978. The car lived in North Carolina with the Proctors in North Carolina. The car was traded into Rolls Royce Bentley of High Point in Summer of 1984 where Egan Oil Company purchased it and then brought it to Minnesota. Sometime in the 1990’s the car made its way to Arizona where the second owner had a home and kept it here ever since. Having traveled only 33,090 meticulously maintained miles, this Silver Shadow is in exceptional original condition. Showing only small minor imperfections in the lacquer finish around the front windshield and one small scrape just above the drivers turn signals (it has been buffed and touched up), the rest of the metallic Peacock Blue paint looks beautiful and still retains a deep shine free from any fade, dents or scratches. The body and undercarriage is completely rust and corrosion free, and showing no signs of any damage or accident history. All of the body rubbers, chrome and trim all look to be in excellent condition and still intact. All four tires are brand new in the correct factory size for the car. The interior is the original Connolly leather and still in beautiful condition. The seats are still very soft and supple with very light creasing (no tears or heavy cracking). All of the carpets are original and still in beautiful shape free from any tears or stains. Even the original lambs wool throw rugs are present with the car and in good shape. The wood on the dash board still retains a beautiful dark/red wood color but does show some hairline cracks around the AC vents and on the door railings. All of the switchgear is in excellent condition and all in working order including the power antenna, original Blaupunkt radio, windows, door locks, power seats, AC/heat, all the lights and turn signals and the interior and dash lights. The original wool headliner is still intact in beautiful original condition and completely stain free. This Rolls Royce starts right up and does not smoke, it idles beautifully and shifts into all gears with ease. The car accelerates smoothly and quickly without any hesitation or issues. This Rolls Royce rides like a proper British saloon; the brakes feel solid and free from any fade or squeaks and the steering and suspension feel solid and tight. The car has a documented 33,090 original miles on the car with a free and clear box A actual miles title. There are absolutely no signs of body damage or accident history anywhere on the car. The car comes with its original owners manuals, warranty books, dealer books, owners information book, warranty card, radio books and brochures, emission book, gas mileage certificate and sticker, inspection reports, its original Rolls Royce tool kit and spare. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a rare and gorgeous Peacock Blue Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II that has been exceptionally well cared for by its two previous owners.
