Lot 012: 1980 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW II

Finished in metallic brown over bronze with light brown leather upholstery, this particular example is variously described by the vendor as being in "very good" (bodywork, paintwork) or "excellent" (engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, wheels / tyres) condition. Stated to have covered just 8,650 miles from new (a figure apparently confirmed by both the previous owner and the Bentley dealer with whom he part-exchanged the car against a new Arnage), 'OVL 700V' is accompanied by its "original sales invoice" as well as various old MOT certificates dating back to 1988 (when the mileage stood at 3,139). Said to be "truly exceptional throughout" with even the driver's seat and armrest showing no sign of wear, the Shadow II is understood to have had "over ú5,000 spent on its brakes etc" during 2005. Consequently judged to "drive like new with no faults", this remarkable 'timewarp' Rolls-Royce is offered for sale with history file, MOT certificate valid until May 17th 2007 and road tax until September 30th 2006.
