AI Listing Summary

Condition

The car "looks to be all there, arguably it could do with a refresh, but that is to be expected since it is 53 years old." It has "moderate wear on exterior, interior, and/or wheels." and "Some reconditioning is required."

We are very pleased to bring to market this Rolls-Royce Shadow that was in the acclaimed TV drama 'Nolly', about the life story of Noele Gordon and starring Helena Bonham Carter.
This example is finished in a light gold with what looks like a vinyl roof but is in fact painted, and contrasted with beige leather.
The Rolls looks to be all there, arguably it could do with a refresh, but that is to be expected since it is 53 years old.
It does have some new parts on it, and was driven to our premises by the vendor with no reported issues.
The Rolls sits very well and looks quite nice.
It is fitted with a battery isolator in the boot, and comes with an interesting registration number ‘NMS100M’ - sadly not ‘NG10’ as it wore in the TV show.
The Shadow market has suddenly started to wake up and prices are on the up, and as this particular example is being offered at no reserve, it represents a shrewd buy, especially for a TV star.
