After the success of the Cloud and S series saloons, Rolls Royce wanted to introduce a new more modern up to date luxury saloon. Introduced on October 5, 1965, the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T-Series were unveiled at the Paris Salon Motor Show with rave reviews. The Silver Shadow was a limited production Saloon that used the familiar 6.75 litre V8 engine built by Rolls Royce. The new Silver Shadow was 3 and a half inches narrower and 7 inches shorter than the previous model but still managed to make more interior space for the passengers. The Silver Shadow II was redesigned for model year 1977 and ran until 1980 with just 8425 examples made worldwide. Many automobile journalists have said over the years that the Silver Shadow and T Series Saloons are amongst the best handling and most loveliest of the older generations of Rolls Royce and Bentley cars.

European Motor Studio is proud to offer this stunning 1979 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II finished in a beautiful combination of Shell Grey/Masons Black with a Charcoal Connolly leather interior with contrasting grey/off white piping. This Silver Shadow left the Crewe production line in October of 1978 and was then invoiced to Rolls Royce North America. The car was sent to Roy Carver Inc in New Port Beach California where it sold to its first owner on January 4^, 1979. The second owner bought the car in the late 1990’s where the car continued to live in Beverly Hills then Palm Springs California until European Motor Studio brought the car to AZ. This Rolls Royce has traveled a total of 59,015 miles from brand new and is on a Box A actual miles clean and clear title. The car has either been serviced at Bentley/Rolls Royce of Beverly Hills or Desert European Motor Cars. The paint on the car is in beautiful condition showing very few flaws .The Shell Grey paint looks very nice and free from any fade or sun spots. The Masons Black lower half paint still has a stunning glossy finish and only shows a quarter size chip (which has been touched up) in the passenger lower quarter panel and a few tiny small stone chips in the front end. The body of the car is in excellent shape and free from any rust, dents, dings or corrosion. There are no signs of any prior accidents or damage anywhere. All of the chrome and rubber on the exterior of the car still shows beautifully and all of the light lenses and glass are all clear and free from any cracks or pitting.

All of the real wood veneer is still in stunning shape and with only a couple tiny hairline cracks on the front door rails. The wood still retains a beautiful dark red/brown color. All of the leather on the dashboard is still in beautiful condition, free from any discoloration or separating. All of the switchgear is in excellent condition aside from the “fasten safety belt sign” on the lower dash which shows some discoloration on the plastic cover. The car still retains its original 8-Track player which is still in working order. The dash lights, interior lights, headlights, taillights, reverse lights, side marker lights, turn signals, and license plate lights are all working. All of the electrical equipment is in proper working order as well, the AC is ice cold and the heat is blowing out warm. All of the power windows are in working order, the power door locks are working, the power seats are working (driver seat is a little slow to move) and the power antenna is working.

The car rides incredibly smooth and gives the passengers a ride only a true British luxury saloon can give.
