Highlights

- Tidy and presentable car with beige leather interior
- Desirable later car with improved steering
- MOT, tax exempt and ULEZ compliant
- Private dateless plate included
The Appeal
The Silver Shadow II got improved steering and even better ride, making it particularly suitable for commercial wedding use. This car was repainted from gold to white in 1995 to do exactly that.
It is a generally well kept car that is at the working rather than concours end of the condition spectrum. It remains presentable, the sumptuous beige leather cabin being particularly welcoming with just a slight patina to show for its 45 years.
The vendor acquired it in 2021 and appears to have used it for weddings. It is eligible for Historic Vehicle status so is usefully MOT, tax and ULEZ exempt so you can use it to work in most city centres.
