1971' Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

Magnificent Rolls Royce Wright II. Wright II is not the popular Silver Shadow, but a completely different version of a much more common model. In the late 1960s, after the introduction of the Silver Shadow, Rolls Royce considered offering a more upscale long-wheelbase Phantom VII model based on the Silver Shadow. However, it was decided to introduce a variant of the already produced Silver Shadow with a longer wheelbase, by about 4 inches. This provided additional legroom in the rear seats. The model was offered in the USA from May 1969. for customers in Great Britain since the early 1970s. A pilot series of ten long-wheelbase cars was built already in 1967 and sold, one of them to Princess Margaret. Some long wheelbase models were equipped with a tinted glass partition. The presented car was, in accordance with the certificate issued by the factory, built especially for the 1971 car exhibition and handed over to a famous person immediately after the exhibition. The further history of the vehicle and details related to its fate are described in the vehicle's white book.
The car is in good working order, the engine works perfectly, the air system is tight and maintains pressure for a long time after switching off, the brakes work flawlessly. The car has been in Poland since 2017, used occasionally only in summer
