The combination of changes to the original Silver Shadow introduced in 1977 was sufficient for Rolls-Royce to hail the new model `Shadow II'. The upgrades included a switch to rack-and-pinion steering, revised front-end suspension geometry, new carburettors, and revised exhaust and cooling fans all aimed at improving fuel consumption.
Recently taken out of long-term dry storage and with just 75,300 miles and four former private keepers from new, ‘NBF 395V’ is finished in Pacific Green complemented to a Green leather interior and Dark Green Everflex roof. The ‘Shadow II’ has benefitted from a full repaint in its original shade. Light recommissioning work has been undertaken, including a brake caliper overhaul, ‘full service’ with plugs, filters and all fluids, including a hydraulic flush, air conditioning re-gas, exhaust olives and MOT preparation.
From new, original extras included non-standard paint, Everflex roof, RR motifs to rear quarters, picnic tables, rear recess with hinged lid in rear armrest, lambswool rugs in Green, still present and in excellent condition, plus a change of colour for the Everflex roof to Dark Green. Accompanying, is a file that covers almost all of the car’s 42 years, starting with the original order, invoice, build sheets and delivery documents. The original Rolls Royce & Bentley owner’s handbook, service book, tool kit, collection of invoices and old MOT certificates are also present.
