1979 Matchbox Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II was produced by the British carmaker from 1977 to 1980. Improvements over its predecessor included rack and pinion steering, better front suspension, and new, energy-absorbing bumpers. The Silver Shadow II was powered by a 6.75L V8 engine paired with a three-speed automatic transmission.

The Matchbox Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II was first released in 1979 and was produced in about 15 different variations. This nice metallic gray model with red interior is another of my Wichita eBay scores and will replace a less pristine example already in my collection.

The Matchbox Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II features opening doors.
