1967 | Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I

Registration number: PM-21-96

It is 1967, and Rolls-Royce presents a car that turns the world of luxury upside down. This is the Silver Shadow, and from the very beginning, it was one of the most popular Rolls-Royce models. The example you see here was fully restored in 2018 and is presented today in fantastic condition.

This Silver Shadow shines in British Racing Green, that classic deep green shade in which British cars always look just a bit more elegant. Combine this with the Beige Connolly leather interior, and you have a color combination that is nothing short of timeless. The paintwork gleams beautifully, and every detail sparkles. For a better impression, please take a look at the photos on our website.

Step inside, and you’ll find an interior that feels like a living room on wheels. The leather is thick, soft, and carries that unmistakable Connolly scent. And the dashboard? Not just any dashboard – this is the famous “Chippendale” style, with wood so finely polished that you almost forget you’re sitting in an automobile. Everything feels solid, reliable, yet elegant at the same time.

And of course, a Rolls-Royce must not only look the part, it must drive perfectly too – and this one certainly does. The engine doesn’t simply run; it whispers. What you hear is a silky-smooth V8, paired with an automatic transmission that shifts with almost imperceptible ease. This is exactly what Rolls-Royce has always promised: “The best car in the world.” And you feel it the moment you take your seat behind the wheel.

The Silver Shadow was truly a revolution for Rolls-Royce. Did you know it was the first Rolls-Royce to use unitary body construction? No separate chassis anymore, but a modern design that made the car smaller than its predecessor, the Silver Cloud, while at the same time offering more space inside. In addition, the Shadow was fitted with a hydropneumatic suspension system, delivering a ride quality far ahead of its time.

This particular example is fitted with the 6.2-liter V8 engine (later replaced by the 6.75-liter version). Despite weighing more than two tons, the Silver Shadow drives with surprising agility. Four-wheel disc brakes and fully independent suspension made this car true high-tech for 1967.

Between 1965 and 1980, around 30,000 Silver Shadows were produced, making it the most successful Rolls-Royce ever. Yet every single one feels unique – especially this one, with its magnificent color combination and beautifully preserved condition.
