Description
The pre-1970 Shadow 1 featured a 172 bhp 6.2 Litre V8 coupled to the same 4-speed automatic gearbox as the Silver Cloud sourced from General Motors. The car’s most innovative feature was a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen, with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension. At first, both the front and rear of the car were controlled by the levelling system; the front levelling was deleted in 1969 as it had been determined that the rear levelling did almost all the work. Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride quality with this arrangement.
This earlier 1971 Shadow was first delivered new to the United States, returning to Europe in the 1990s. Always well maintained, we understand the Rolls runs and drives well. The bodywork is clean, benefitting from an older repaint, and interior is very well preserved. The Shadow was once regarded as the best saloon car in the world, and now offers exceptional value in the current market.
