Painted in Georgian Silver Metallic with Beige Leather interior
Includes all original handbooks and small tools
Equipped with new Avon tyres
The Appeal
The Silver Shadow ushered in a new era for Rolls-Royce. The day of the chauffeur was more or less over, and the car replied in kind by offering a luxury vehicle for owner-drivers, as opposed to the old elite's favour of being driven around. The result was a car for a much wider market, aided by the car's simplified unibody construction.
This 1977 Series II car is a particularly desirable offering, having covered only 5,000 miles since 2006, according to its MOT history. The Georgian Silver Metallic finish is a classy match for the car's straight-laced lines, while the Beige Leather interior enhances its timeless appeal.
We're informed that this fabulous roller comes complete with its original handbooks, and its original set of small tools.
