McDerrmotts Workshop the most qualified Rolls Royce Mechanical shop in Melbourne for over 50 years has placed their badge of approval meaning the car is sound throughout. Shadow II was launched in 1976, with deliveries beginning in February the following year. The updated Shadow II model incorporated a host of refinements, including a new facia, still in walnut burr veneer but with new gauges, while the Camargue model's advanced split-level air conditioning was adopted. Power assisted steering came standard with a smaller steering wheel and revised front suspension geometry, which meant less body roll. A twin exhaust system and SU's latest HIF7 carburettors boosted the power output whilst reducing fuel consumption, and there was an additional cooling fan in front of the radiator. External changes were kept to a minimum: new deformable bumpers with rubber inserts helped avoid low speed damage and a front air dam improved high speed stability. Rolls-Royce built 8425 Shadow IIs, plus a further 2135 long-wheelbase Silver Wraith II variants and 568 of the equivalent Bentley T2. Today, they are regarded as the most refined and best Shadows to live with day to day.
