The Attractions

With the Silver Shadow II, Rolls-Royce has further improved an already excellent car. More precise steering and improved roadholding mean that these imposing and luxurious cars are perfectly at home on today's roads.

To the many attractions of this model, this car adds low mileage and a classic blue and white colour scheme, which makes it perfect for professional use as a ceremonial car. The current owner has used it in just this way, and for this reason it has been kept in excellent condition and has always received careful and regular maintenance.

It has covered only 108,959 km since new and its absolute originality gives it great charm. The ASI Gold Plate certifies its provenance and condition.

Whether you want to use it professionally or enjoy a unique driving experience, this Silver Shadow II, one of the most popular models ever produced by the prestigious Crewe-based manufacturer, appears to be a very attractive opportunity indeed.
