SUMMARY

Still elegant at 46 years old, this 'Flying Lady' would be welcome at the smartest of parties. On offer at 'No Reserve'.

DESCRIPTION

First registered in 1979, this Shadow II was sold by Rolls-Royce in Kenning, spending its early life in London
Powered by RR's venerable 6.75-litre V8 (rebuilt in 1987) coupled to the Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission
Finished in Moorland Green, over a beige leather interior with matching door cards, black top-roll and beige carpets
Purchased by our vendor in 2019, for his Granddaughter's Wedding, the vehicle was recommissioned for the occasion at a cost of just under £5,000
Little use since apart from the odd pub trip and summer day out
Supplied with its original handbooks, service book (25 stamps), period receipts and invoices, previous MOTs, and the 2019 recommissioning invoice
Still stylish, particularly in this rare colour. On offer at No Reserve
