My Rolls Silver Shadow II coming on nicely….!

Had a girlfriend whose dad had one of those. She used to borrow it, come to collect me and throw me the keys all with his permission. Utterly wonderful thing to drive.

By far my favorite parts of a resto are paint and upholstery….

Hi Lawrence. Do you ever wake up and wonder where it all went so wrong!? 😂

You mean where all my money goes? Yes

What colour are you going for?

Same as before. It’s like a mid blue colour the name escapes me at the moment.

Time for a bit of sanding...

I used to spray cars (just as a hobby) back in the 80s. Very satisfying, but proper prep. is hard work. But it’s crucial for a great finish. Looking fwd to seeing the finished article.

2K paint?

It’s a lot more than 2k

😂 2K (two-component) paint is a paint system that uses two separate parts. Not £2K...

Who do you use for paint sir? 👍

I’d tell you but I don’t want them getting too busy

Keeping a spray shop busy👍

Never really appreciated how big that boot is until seeing the lid on the stand there.

You really don’t do anything by half

Are you going original colour or changing it?

I’m keeping it original!

Doors are missing!

Beautiful, have you restored/protected the chassis too, to keep it nice.

One of the best cars of the post war era?

What colour are you going for, Lawrence?

In my opinion the Silver Shadow was peak Rolls Royce
