Care to drift on a 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II? Grab one until it’s late!

A highly unique Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II issued in 1979 and remade into a drift car is currently being sold at the online auction Bring a Trailer.

In compliance with the tradition, the vehicle had received a front bumper-mounted intercooler. Its hood compartment now houses a 6.75L eight-cylinder engine equipped with a twin-scroll Bullseye Power turbine. The engine air intake and outlet points have also been revised, with the latter now located on the right front wing. Four-speed manual transmission is used to set the car in motion.

Other notable tuning modifications of the 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II are a new fuel tank, helical-spring shock absorbers, 19-inch wheels taken straight from a Porsche Panamera, new dashboard, and sports seats by Sparco.

According to the current owner of the vehicle, the entire customization cost $20,000.
