Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II presents well with a 1994 bare metal respray and a desirable handling package upgrade. However, closer inspection reveals age-related issues such as paint blistering, corrosion on sills and wheel arches, and perished seals, along with interior wear on seats and door veneer.
Condition
6
The car has had a bare metal respray and the paintwork is generally good with no major dents, but there are signs of age and wear. Specifically, there is blistering and split paint on all four wings, corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, and typical lead cracks around the windscreen and rear window. There are also scratches on the nearside front wing and adjacent door, rust and chips around the tailgate, sun-damaged rear lamp units, a wonky offside front bumper, and perished rubber seals. The tyres are old and starting to crack, though they have plenty of tread. The interior has some creasing and slight colour loss on the front seats, and the veneer on the driver's door is showing its age, as is the vent below the radio. The underside shows a rusty exhaust system and extensive corrosion to the front of both sills.

Originally finished in Shell Grey Metallic, a mini-restoration in 1994 saw this Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II change its colour ever-so-slightly to Shell Grey Metallic over Dark Tudor Grey Metallic, the latter chosen because it was a factory option when ‘EMV 462T’ was new.
Dark Red coachlines decorate its flanks and hubcaps, and it further boasts Claret hide seats, doors and console furniture, with Black hide being used for the top of the dashboard and the knee roll.
The headlining is also leather, in this case Magnolia and the combination is stunning.
It was fitted with a factory handling kit comprising new dampers and springs in 1991, and it sits on a matching set of Avon Turbosteel tyres, so it handles every bit as well as it looks.
It’s also the culmination of a childhood dream for the seller, whose dad gave him a book in 1978 in which he’d written: “We’ll have one of these one day.” Sadly, that didn’t happen, but it was an itch the seller simply had to scratch – and scratch it ...
