Comments from the seller

This Series 1 Silver Shadow is a stunning example of the marque, finished in a timeless white with a vibrant red leather interior that exudes royal elegance. While the Series 2 moved to black rubber, this model retains the classic chrome bumpers that define the era’s grace. It is an ideal candidate for high-end wedding and event hire. We are only parting with this beauty because we’ve added a Series 1 Convertible to our collection and simply cannot give both cars the road time they deserve. A true "time capsule" interior in excellent original condition, featuring fully operational electrics. This Shadow has been serviced every year and driven regularly enough to keep the seals fresh, though only on short outings, keeping the total kilometers very low. Engine & Drivetrain: Features an updated 6.75L V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission—a combination widely considered more robust and reliable than the era’s 4-speed Rolls-Royce units. • Expert Ownership: Previously owned and maintained by a Rolls-Royce mechanic, the vehicle includes several thoughtful reliability upgrades: • Enhanced Cooling: Integrated cooling system overflow and a dedicated transmission cooler. • Structural Integrity: Reinforced chassis at known factory stress points. While the paint shows the typical imperfections around the lead-washed seams common to these models, it is otherwise in pristine condition. The vehicle also sits on a set of near-new tires. A must inspect and drive.
