The new models were technically striking in three ways. A monocoque chassis was used; all wheels were sprung independently and four-wheel disc brakes now ensured stopping power of the sort that had come to be expected in a modern car. Under the bonnet, the V8 engine that had been introduced in the Silver Cloud series was employed. In February 1977, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II was introduced. The most notable changes mechanically were to the rack and pinion steering and modifications to the front suspension which improved handling markedly. This extremely low mileage example is presented in the desirable period colour combination of Chestnut with a tan Connolly leather interior. Described by its enthusiast vendor as being in excellent all-round condition and a luxurious joy to drive and that even the original radio cassette player works. This Rolls-Royce exudes class and, we are informed, has benefitted from a good service history, and retains the original manuals and toolkit. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate this quintessentially British car offers a rare opportunity to own one of the lowest mileage examples on the market today.
