Wilmot, Ontario

This item for sale is a 1978 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. I have owned this car for 22 years and continue to enjoy it. However, it is part of a larger collection of classic cars I have which I have been downsizing over the last two years, and now the time has come for this one to go to a new owner as well. Please see attached photos which show the excellent condition of this car. This is a genuine Canadian spec'd Rolls Royce sold new in 1978 by Gulliver Motors in Hamilton, Ontario to a lawyer in Montreal. I am the third owner. The color of the car is "Willow Gold" with a magnolia colored leather interior. As the photos show, the interior of this car is spectacular with great original leather with no splits or tears. The burl wood dash and door caps are virtually perfect as new piano wood. The dual control A/C blows cold. The radio, outside temperature gauge and clock all work. The car is fitted with hidden stereo CD player in the trunk that plays through the existing radio. The car has no operating issues and runs and stops as it should. In 1991 while still under the previous owner, some juveniles broke into the car and damaged all the dials in the dash including the speedometer, then scratched the exterior paint of the car. Subsequently, the car was refinished with new high end paintwork then wet sanded to a high shine that is vastly superior any 1978 vintage original paint. All of the interior dials in the dash were replaced including the speedometer. I have written documentation that verifies the reading on the damaged speedometer as being 69,382 kilometers ( 41,629 miles). A new speedometer was installed at that time with zero kilometers on it. It now reads 33,335 kilometers under my ownership which means this car has a total of only 61,630 actual miles from new. In 1991, this car was appraised at $65,000 after the new paintwork and speedometer replacement. I am now asking $23,500.00 which tells you that the high priced glory days of all 70's vintage Rolls Royce Shadow and Wraith models have long gone and its time to just have fun with these cars instead of worrying about pointless matters such as whether or not it still has its original paint because it will never be worth $65k again anyway. I have always used this car for my private enjoyment only. It is stored in a heated enclosed garage and was never driven in the winter months. For those of you who are retired and others who just want to earn some extra money, this car would be the perfect candidate to chauffer for weddings and other special events for $300-$500.00 cash every weekend from early spring to late fall. Your chauffeuring services could potentially make you $8,000-$10k per year, enough for this car to pay for itself which is something you can't do with 78 mustang. This car is vastly superior in quality and value by comparison to some advertised so called "cheaper" "low mileage" white colored Florida cars that have sat around with fried and split interior wood and leather which could be bought for less money but needing $10k in repairs. I believe my 1978 Rolls Royce is priced right and offers you the best value for your money in the end. Own it now while you have this unique opportunity. Car is sold as is, where is, without any warranties either expressed or implied. Buyers responsibility to arrange for transportation. A non refundable paypal down payment of $1500.00 is required at time of purchase.
