1980 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II
Further Information
MRL 487P - Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II, 1980 #SRH38854. To mark the 75th anniversary of Rolls Royce in 1979 a limited series of R-R Silver Shadow IIs were produced and sported the entwined RR in red colour again instead of black. In 1931 Rolls Royce had decided to switch over from red to black.
Constant development had resulted in a variety of improvements having been incorporated into the models from the Silver Shadow range. Having added a few important new features was the reason why Rolls Royce choose new designations for models delivered from February 1977 onward. As the mainstream model the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II substituted the previous model.
