The Appeal
The Silver Shadow was so good that beyond its 15-year production run its fundamentals remained in production for another two decades. It was a new type of ‘owner driver’ Rolls-Royce and buyers lapped it up.
For the Silver Shadow II the firm wisely chose not to mess with a successful formula. Aside from the body-colour impact bumpers, which were neatly integrated into the overall aesthetic, these cars are notable for their sharper steering and handling.
This smart Willow Gold Silver Shadow II is a very low mileage car in good condition inside and out. The appealing and very original specification includes a rare gold-plated Spirit of Ecstasy, factory sound system and even a Storno car phone.
It comes to market with the reassurance of a long, advisory-free MOT to March 2025, even though this is no longer required due to the car’s age.
