1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I
1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I
Introduced in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow represented a significant step forward for the marque, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced engineering. As Rolls-Royce's first monocoque-bodied model, it featured independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and the renowned self-levelling hydraulic system, delivering the exceptional ride quality for which the model became famous. Produced between 1965 and 1976, the Silver Shadow remains one of the most successful and recognisable Rolls-Royce models ever built. They are powered by the smooth and effortless 6.75 litre V8 engine coupled to an automatic transmission. A symbol of prestige and refinement, the Silver Shadow combines stately road presence with remarkable comfort, making it an increasingly sought-after classic Rolls-Royce.
Finished in the elegant and timeless combination of burgundy with a beautiful tan leather interior, this Silver Shadow presents particularly well thanks to recent restoration carried out by our vendor. The rear wings were replaced, and a bare-metal respray was carried out. The cabin retains a pleasing sense of originality, with the walnut dashboard and door cappings remaining in good condition. The leather upholstery displays an attractive patina commensurate with age and use, while remaining well preserved and free from excessive wear. Showing just three previous owners, this example has previously enjoyed long-term ownership, with its third custodian retaining it for an impressive 29 years before our vendor purchased it in early 2024. Since then, he's taken terrific care of it, but the time has come for it to pass to its next custodian. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
