Single Owner Since 1995 Durham, North Carolina.
1980 was the last year the Silver Shadow II was produced. Service records from one shop since 1996 are present.
The following condition report, while thorough, is not exhaustive as vintage cars have inherent wear and imperfections. We welcome personal inspections.
Odometer stopped working at 19k during current ownership, and service records support estimate under 25k; paintwork has been performed to the sides of the car; the bonnet, roof, and boot lid retain original paint and are slightly faded; the interior in very good condition, with the armrests firmly stuck in retained position (the leather tends to bind to itself with lack of use); recent service to include front and rear shock replacement, spark plugs; older service to include brake hoses and pads replaced; chassis appears to have been treated with waxoyl; tires are aged and need replacing, left rear replaced with a new tire due to flat that couldn't be repaired; cruise control does not operate; fuel gauge does not appear to operate correctly; brake pressure 1 light comes on intermittently (see video); minor dent in right front quarter, and door (noted in pictures); no other apparent concerns.
