~~oo00oo~~ Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II 1979 Stunning Magnolia over Old Ivory What can you say about this stunning combination Silver Shadow II - finished in 2-tone Magnolia (cream) over Old Ivory (antique white) with hand-painted fine lines in burgundy to the waist lines and the hubcap beauty rings. The Connolly interior is finished in rich burgundy with Magnolia matching piping. The interior makes for a striking combination with the exterior. It is primarily an original presenting Silver Shadow II that was recently lightly restored by the Park-Ward Motor Museum - a nation-wide leader in Rolls-Royce restoration with over 30 years Rolls-Royce and Bentley experience. It has been a West coast car its whole life so it is entirely rust free and the underside is clean. This Shadow II is very straight and the paint is in excellent presentation and condition. The Magnolia was recently painted. Overall the finish is entirely consistent, very shiny and deep lustered and is virtually scratch and chip free. The fine lines were hand-painted by a craftsman of the art and these were done on the waist-rails and hubcap beauty trim rings in accordance with Rolls-Royce factory recommendations. This Silver Shadow II sports the very rare sun-roof option. These were "special order only" when the cars were new and were an astronomical $10,000 per unit! The burl walnut wood finishes are entirely original and have NEVER been redone. They are very nice. This is very rare to see on a Rolls-Royce of this vintage as the RR finish was a very thick and deep lacquer which, in mostly all cases, cracks and peels off after many years of seasonal temperature change. For this car to sport its original wood can only mean that it has been homed and/or stored under "constant" temperature, which very clearly supports its West coast USA up-bringing. The wood in this car is the Milanese light burl walnut finish option. The Connolly leather is in excellent condition throughout without any notable marks or blemishes. It is finished in rich burgundy with matching "cream" piping to the Magnolia exterior. The carpets are a solid burgundy. The leather was recently re-Connollised (a detailed hand-finish process which ensures an original finish and presentation) and as you can see in the photographs, presents stunningly. I think it is difficult not to describe the interior as nothing less than striking! Please have a look at the photo link of the many close-ups of the leather. The dash is good with minimal leather pulling around the vents and the rear parcel shelf is very good. All glass, chrome and bright work are excellent. All lights, instruments, features and functions are in working order. Mechanically, the car has been subject to the 30 year service and restoration experience of the Park-Ward Motor Museum's private workshop and trained RR mechanics and craftsmen. Like every other car delivered by Park-Ward it comes with everything in excellent working and operating condition, fully inspected and serviced. This includes the all important hydraulics & brakes, fully inspected and pressure tested with any parts replaced and/or over-hauled as required - reservoir, pumps, accumulators, valves, hoses and calipers. All electrics; seats, windows, gauges and instruments are fully gone thru. The climate control is in good working order with the heater nice and hot and the air conditioning blowing icy cold. In summary, the car is shipped with everything fully operational, down to the smallest light bulb. The whitewall tires are the period correct Michelin XH whitewall tires fitted all-round and these have plenty of tread. These tyres have not been available for more than some 10 years now, so I have to question their long term durability but they look fantastic and so "correct" for this make and model. They are prefect from the car's collectable presentation point of view, but should the purchaser wish to drive this Silver Shadow II as a daily driver, I can change these tyres. Naturally, the car comes with its correct operating manual, jack and tools. The car is an extremely beautiful presenting example that is well in advance of many Silver Shadow IIs and is in excellent presentation and condition. A strong 9 out of 10. ~~ A striking combination Silver Shadow II in its 2 tone Magnolia over Old Ivory colour scheme. Truly a beautiful and a very fine representation of the marque. In my eyes, the car has a very strong "Florida" and "Hollywood" feel to it which will appeal to anyone preferring a Rolls-Royce that makes a statement! Although not show standard by definition, it would certainly draw a lot of attention when driven to your next Rolls-Royce meet! ~~ For extra photos on this fine example go to the link below.

Rare and striking "Magnolia" over "Old Ivory" 2-tone paint. Click HERE to see additional photos! ~~oo00oo~~ This Rolls-Royce is part of a private collection. I am not a broker or retail car dealer; I am a professional car collector of some 30 years with considerable experience and knowledge of Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motor Cars. I have a long standing reputation being associated with the marque which I take seriously. I take a lot of pride in my cars and have fun in collecting and restoring them. However, auctions are not a game so when you place a bid or offer, and you are the winning bidder, please understand you have entered a binding contract. You cannot bid and win the auction and expect not to meet the terms and conditions. Bidding and/or winning does not mean you are expecting me to “hold” the car until you have the opportunity to inspect it. Any inspection contemplated should be undertaken BEFORE you bid or make an offer and I openly welcome any potential buyer to come and personally inspect the car. Once you bid or make an offer, you are doing so to buy WITHOUT conditions. A $2000.00 deposit (non-refundable) is required within 24 hours of the close of the auction and payable by PayPal. The balance of funds are required within 7 days of the close of the auction and must be provided by cashier’s check or bank wire. I cannot accept PayPal for the balance unless you are willing to meet the cost of transfer fees. Full payment must be made (and payments cleared) before the title and/or the vehicle is released. All payments are non-refundable. Payments as described above form an important part of this purchase contract and so, if all the funds are not received as outlined above, I reserve the right to terminate the transaction without notice. If there has been any deposit or other part payments received and I elect to terminate the contract, I reserve the right to keep any such deposits or payments and resell the vehicle to another bidder or interested party or re-list the vehicle at any time. I am happy to assist with shipping arrangements on a national and worldwide basis but the winning bidder takes full responsibility for pickup and/or shipping and at his cost. As a collector and experienced restorer of the marque, I make every effort to bring my cars to a very high standard. Unless specifically stated, the car is not of show standard but of good quality "driver" condition. Please understand, the very nature of these classic Rolls-Royces is such that it is not always possible to attend to every single item, or perhaps I may have inadvertently overlooked an item. Please note, fitted radio/stereo systems are usually subject to upgrade by purchasers so I do not ensure operation of these. Similarly, cruise control systems fitted to these classics were of an inferior design and I do not check or warrant the operation of these. Further, a feature or function that is working perfectly one moment, may decide to play-up the next. After all, it is some 33 years old. For this reason it is necessary for the following condition: The vehicle is being sold "as-is/where-is" with no warranty expressed, written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are made with reasonable judgment and all efforts are made to ensure fair assessment and accuracy but they are for descriptive and identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. The seller shall not be responsible for errors in description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein and makes no warranty in connection therewith. No allowance or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, unforeseen imperfection, defect or damage. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects at the buyer’s request prior to the close of the auction. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Being a classic car in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, the mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. In this regard the seller makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown. I can hold the vehicle up to 30 days while you arrange shipping but you must immediately insure it. I will not bear any responsibility for any additional costs including storage, transportation, or repair after the close of the auction. Whereas I am happy to store the car in excess of 30 days from auction end, a cost of $35 per day shall apply beyond 30 days of auction end. Also, you must remember that this is a classic +/-32 year old vehicle, and while it is up to you, I do not recommend that you just “hop in and drive it across the country”. At least, I have never done that. I have always professionally transported the cars in enclosed carriers from where I bought them to my home. PLEASE; IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ABIDE BY THESE TERMS, DO NOT BID AS, RESPECTFULLY, THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS. ~~oo00oo~~ ~~ **Please note: This Rolls-Royce is part of the collection of the Park-Ward Motor Museum. As a professional collector and experienced restorer and I have my own Rolls-Royce dedicated workshop with qualified craftsmen on hand. As a passionate collector of the marque I take great pride and pleasure in passing on any of my cars to its next owner (“caretaker”). In so doing, once this Rolls-Royce is sold, I will put the car back thru my workshop to ensure that it is mechanically sound and all major features and functions are operating as described even though the car is contractually being sold "as-is". Certain items such as final electrical tests and hydraulic pressure checks are usually left for this stage as these are considered "commissioning procedures". This and considerable other work will be performed after the sale and before delivery to ensure the car is in excellent order. This all done at NO CHARGE. Who else selling a Rolls-Royce on eBay does this?! This provides the buyer the peace of mind to purchase with complete confidence. Please allow approximately 10 days for this procedure.
