Description
Oxford Blue Silver Shadow from 1976. The car is striking in this colour combination, deep Oxford Blue over cream hides, dark blue carpets piped in cream with matching lambswool rugs. Combined with the chrome bumpers and optioned Silver Wraith/ Corniche wheel trims, it looks superb.
Car has only had 5 owners in total and the last owner purchased it in 2001. Only sold as he died.
Condition is overall very good, but there are 1 or 2 small blisters appearing in places. The car has also obviously been painted throughout its life and sometimes not always to the high quality we expect from RR, so is a bit of visible orange peel, a few fish eyes and a bit of dry paint here and there. There are also a few places where the original paint exists that is getting a bit thin and translucent where the car has been lovingly polished so often. But the car looks really good overall. You definitetly wouldn't be ashamed taking it to a car show on a Sunday afternoon.
The car has covered 80k miles from new with a very comprehensive stamped main dealer service book as shown in the image section. Comes with all its book, manuals and wallet which are all numbered to the car. Even the original warranty card.
In the service history, an invoice shows in 2022 the car benefitted from new brake lines as well as a service. Even though it has done almost no miles since then, it could probalby use a service now purely on time. Happy to do it at the asking price. The car runs, drives and stops faultlessly.
It also had new discs and pads at that time, plus also 2 new front tyres.
Interior is good, but best described as original. Leather is nice, soft and springy as it should be with no signs of it having been connolised.
Dash wood has a few delaminations and the door caps ideally need re lacquering.
To drive the car is superb, quiet, responsive, smooth shifts, everything a RR should be.
Everything seems to work apart from all 4 windows have stopped working, I have no time to sort currently. Again, when it goes in for service happy to have this sorted for the buyer, assuming asking price is met.
The car comes with its full original book pack which includes, manual, service book full of stamps, radio instruction manual, warranty card and various other papers that come with a Rolls-Royce. Also has several older style MOT certificates.
The centre console boasts a fully working 1980s car phone which is just superb to see. Testament to one of the previous owners and corroborates it time warp status.
The car also has it lambswool rugs and rear foot stools which are really as good as new.
It's a lovely Silver Shadow in the a striking colour combination, but I bought this and a Bentley T2 in a package probate deal and can't keep this one.
The private registration goes with the car, valued at £2200.
V5 present and correct and willcome with a new MOT.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
