SUMMARY

A rare example of the Silver Shadow's big brother finished in Caribbean Blue.

DESCRIPTION

  • The LWB Silver Shadow was renamed the Silver Wraith in 1976 and benefited from over 4" of extra legroom in the rear
  • It offered 'limousine' interior space and levels of comfort, in a compact external package better suited to an owner/driver
  • This smart example is one of just 2,135 produced and was first registered on 19/11/1979
  • Finished in Caribbean Blue over navy blue hide and top roll with a dark blue Everflex roof
  • Now wearing an air of patina that reflects the use that a Rolls-Royce of this nature will have naturally enjoyed over the years
  • Has been dry stored for several years until recently, now running and driving well and ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian
  • Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to satisfy yourself with regards to the potential on offer
