The body on this Shadow II is very straight and the paint is shiny and lustrous. The car still sports 90% of its original paint, which is really quite amazing given that Rolls-Royce used a single stage paint process that generally did not “go the distance”.

Certainly, it needs nothing other than a wax from time to time.
