The Appeal
Its first buyer specified this Silver Shadow to stand out. Finished in white with a matching Everflex roof and white-banded tyres, this well-maintained car has obvious commercial potential or would suit someone who likes their Rolls-Royces to be a little different.
The car is reported to have spent most of its life in the salt-free, cossetting environs of Japan before subsequently spending time in Germany and Switzerland. It is now located in the UK and has passed DVLA importation checks. It is ready for UK registration or could be registered in Europe, whichever the buyer requires.
A well-maintained chocolate-brown leather cabin complements the white paintwork. There you’ll find original features like the Blaupunkt and Pioneer stereo, and an array of well-kept fittings and switchgear.
The odometer indicates 66,649 miles, which the seller believes to be accurate; however, this has not been verified. Judging by the condition, it certainly could be. This Shadow checks out well in all the areas you'll want to look at when buying this car. Whether it stays here or goes abroad, it will undoubtedly stand out.
