⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Graceful, imposing and unmistakably British, the Silver Shadow remains one of Rolls-Royce's defining motor cars.

Introduced during an era when Rolls-Royce was synonymous with uncompromising luxury, the Silver Shadow represented the culmination of nearly two decades of development for one of the marque's most successful models.

First revealed in 1965, the Silver Shadow marked a significant departure from previous Rolls-Royce saloons, bringing with it a modern monocoque construction, advanced self-levelling suspension and improved road manners while retaining the effortless refinement for which the brand had become renowned.

By 1980, the Silver Shadow had evolved into a highly refined grand touring saloon, offering a unique blend of traditional British craftsmanship and contemporary engineering. Beneath its stately lines sat Rolls-Royce's renowned 6.75-litre V8 engine, delivering smooth and near-silent performance that perfectly suited the car's luxurious character.

The iconic Pantheon grille, Spirit of Ecstasy mascot and imposing proportions ensures the Rolls-Royce has unmistakable presence on the road. Coming from one former keeper, over ~29 years of ownership and garage storage, this example has travelled very few miles over the last 20 years and is well worth a closer look.

The cabin area, enveloped in rich leather, polished wood veneers and handcrafted detailing - is where this car really stands out. The interior on this model is meticulously cared for and presents exceptionally well.

More than four decades later, the Silver Shadow II remains one of the most recognisable and accessible classic Rolls-Royces. Celebrated for its dignified styling, exceptional ride quality and enduring sense of occasion, it continues to embody the traditional values that defined the marque at the height of its prestige and it's one of those cars, 'you just have to see'.
