Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. Hand-built world famous luxury. Feel like a captain of industry at the price of a used Camry.
This Rolls runs and drives excellently. Starts up easily every time. Freshly tuned and ready to go on that special journey. The transmission was just serviced, does not leak, and shifts well. The brake and hydraulic system has been rebuilt and serviced recently; it is functioning perfectly. There are NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND lit. The vehicle goes drives on the road very nicely and it feels like the stately Rolls Royce it was built to be.
This is rust a free California car. Its paint shows very nicely, but upon close inspection there are small paint chips and minor paint imperfections here and there. As with all Silver Shadows of this era, there is some cracking of the paint around the windows. More importantly, most all of the paint issues could be solved through a professional detail and paint touch up. With that said, a picture is worth a thousand words and as the recently taken (3-31-13) auction pictures depict, the car looks SUPERB. I am always extra critical of condition when selling on ebay, I have sold a number of cars on ebay and my feedback speaks for itself.
The black upholstery is all leather and looks like it was redone at some point. The leather is still very soft and supple. The dash and door caps wood pieces have been refinished and look excellent. The dash pad has no cracks.
If you are a perfectionist, the car could use a new headliner and the wind lace trim refinished, but these items are very serviceable as is.
The original radio is in the car, but is not hooked up at present. A power antenna will come with the sale.
I am selling this car simply because I have too many cars and am looking to thin out my collection a bit. The car is currently on non-operational status with the California DMV and no back fees are owed. The title is clear and in my name. The vehicle has had the emissions testing completed and comes with a California smog certificate.
The car is sold "as is." I will assist any prospective buyers with a pre-purchase inspection at any reputable shop in the LA area. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. I am happy to take additional pictures of the car for any serious buyer. The car is very close to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and I can facilitate transportation there for International shipping.

Rolls-Royce EV likely to take the name Silent Shadow
Fri, May 28 2021Rolls-Royce last year trademarked the name Silent Shadow with the German patent office, and that moniker is likely to be applied to the British luxury carmaker's upcoming battery electric vehicle. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Rolls CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos confirmed that the company is working on a purpose-built EV. While he would not reveal the scheduled launch date, Rolls-Royce has previously said an EV model would arrive before the end of the decade. The Silent Shadow name echoes the Silver Shadow of 1965-1980. Although Rolls-Royce has previously ruled out doing a plug-in hybrid, the German-owned British automaker has been inching toward full-electric vehicles for some time. At the 2011 Geneva auto show, it introduced an electric version of the last-generation Phantom named 102EX. More recently in 2016, it unveiled the stunningly futuristic 103EX concept, which was fully electric. "Electrification fits perfectly with Rolls Royce — it's torquey, it's super-silent," Muller-Otvos said. It's true that, at Rolls-Royce, the sound of the car's engine has never been a selling feature. Instead, the brand has long promised near-silent motoring. Indeed, a 1958 ad for Rolls-Royce by advertising legend David Olgivy, makes a claim to the car's quietness. And that ad has become what many consider to be the most famous auto ad of all time: "At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock." Maybe they'll want to revisit that claim when the Silent Shadow makes its debut. Green Rolls-Royce Automotive History Electric
Rolls-Royce confirms Wraith convertible for 2015
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Until a few years ago, the Rolls-Royce product portfolio revolved around one model line, and that was the Phantom. But with the launch of the Ghost in 2010, the Goodwood-based automaker is expanding further. As with the Phantom line, a long-wheelbase Ghost ensued, followed by a coupe in the form of the Wraith. And now, as might have been expected, Rolls-Royce has reportedly confirmed development of a new convertible based on the same platform.
The new cabrio will be based closely on the Wraith, only with a convertible roof. Expect the same 6.6-liter twin-turbo V12 that powers the Wraith to carry over with the same 624-horsepower output - the highest of any production Rolls-Royce - but with a bit more weight to push, the convertible ought to be a bit more sluggish off the line than the Wraith's 4.4-second 0-60 time.
We can also expect a higher sticker price, but closer to the Wraith's $320,000 MSRP than the Phantom Drophead Coupe's $470k. Whether Rolls opts to call it the Wraith DHC or use another nameplate entirely remains to be seen, but Autocar reports that the new Rolls cabrio won't arrive until 2015, so we've got a little while to go.
On this Rolls Ghost, diamonds are forever in the paint
Mon, Mar 6 2017Diamonds, the hardest rocks in the world, are found in everything from jewelry to tools – and now automotive paint. Rolls-Royce, a company happy to help paying customers indulge in one-of-a-kind, specially customized cars, has produced a long-wheelbase Ghost with a paint job featuring 1,000 crushed diamonds. It's called "Elegance," which seems like a pretty fitting name. One thing is for sure, the paint is dazzling in these photos. So the two months Rolls-Royce spent testing diamond paint finishes seem to have paid off. The rest of the car is a bit more run-of-the-mill Rolls-Royce, which is to say still pretty custom. It has hand-painted coachlines in red and black along the flanks, and the 21-inch wheels have matching red pinstripes. The color scheme is continued inside. Up front, everything is black, from the leather seats to the wool carpets. The sea of black is punctuated by red stitching and piping on the seats, as well as open-pore oak wood trim on the dash. In the back, the seats are a lighter gray leather with the same red stitching and piping. Our favorite part, though, is the plaid upholstery that lines the space in the front seats into which the rear tray tables fold. The car will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show alongside a few other older Rolls-Royce Bespoke models. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
