1978 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW 2
UK • 30 Oct 2026 • Lot 838
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1978 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 2, one of only two built in its factory color, has undergone significant mechanical overhaul and presents well with a working Webasto sunroof and new tires. However, the paintwork requires a repaint and the front seat pads need replacement, in addition to its past Category C insurance loss status.
Condition
3
The car has a 'Category C Insurance Loss' record from 2004, indicating it was extensively damaged but repairable. While the vendor states it has undergone a thorough mechanical overhaul and drives well, the paint is showing its age and would benefit from a repaint, and the front seat pads need replacing. These issues, combined with the previous significant damage, place it in the 'Below Average' category.
