The engine starts effortlessly, runs cleanly without smoke and makes no unusual noises. The gearbox operates, though the seller notes that it shows some shifting issues which may require attention. The bodywork presents well, with sound paint aside from an area at the right rear wheel arch where the paint is lifting. The interior remains in good condition, showing only typical wear on the driver’s seat. The car is free of visible rust, has no accident history and currently holds a valid technical inspection. With power steering, solid brakes and a freshly overhauled engine, this Silver Shadow offers the refined driving experience expected of the marque.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow marked a major step forward for the brand when introduced in the mid-1960s. It was the first Rolls-Royce to adopt a monocoque construction, enhancing rigidity and road comfort. The model became well known for its hydraulic self-levelling suspension, smooth V8 power delivery and remarkably quiet cabin. Its elegant yet understated styling appealed to buyers seeking luxury without excess flamboyance. Over the decades, the Silver Shadow has become one of the most recognisable Rolls-Royce models, appreciated for its blend of traditional craftsmanship and improved drivability compared to its predecessors. Today, it remains a popular choice among enthusiasts drawn to its refined ride, classic proportions and accessible ownership experience within the world of luxury classics.
