A
graceful flared arch Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, this example stands out for its
remarkably low recorded mileage and long-term ownership history. First
registered in May 1974, the car is powered by the iconic 6,750cc V8 paired with
an automatic transmission, delivering the smooth and effortless driving
experience for which Rolls-Royce is renowned.
The
car has had five former keepers in total, with the current keeper acquiring in
August 2000 and retaining it for over twenty-five years.
Classically finished in Porcelain White, the exterior is complemented
by a black vinyl roof, while the interior is trimmed in rich red leather,
creating a timeless and elegant colour combination. The car presents as an
honest and original example, with the exterior showing signs of age consistent
with careful use and storage, and it would benefit from some mild cosmetic
restoration to return it to its former glory.
At
the time of photography and video, the car was starting readily, driving, and
stopping as expected on site. The speedometer currently shows just 28,061 miles,
which appears consistent when reviewed against service records and historic MOT
documentation, although this mileage cannot be formally
verified.
Two original service books accompany
the car, documenting regular maintenance up until May 2003 at 27,418 miles, with
a total of ten service stamps. More recently, the car has been professionally
maintained by Bentley Cardiff, adding reassurance to its mechanical
care.
Offered with a small but useful history
file, this Silver Shadow represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a
low-mileage, long-owned example of one of Rolls-Royce’s most enduring and
recognisable models, ideal for sympathetic improvement and continued
enjoyment.
