The affluence and allure of any Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is enough to consent a respectful glance from even the most cosseted of trophy wives. Here’s an example to gain the respect of every road user who passes your way - Especially when one considers the provenance of this car.
This car has had only two owners as far as we can tell, nd has been lovingly cared for, nd rarely driven. As one can see from the records being presented with this listing, he car started out as a special occasions car in Hong Kong. It spent it's first 25 years being driven sparingly, nd was shipped to the United States in 1999, here it was purchased by it's second owner. We received the car from that owner's estate. We have included all books and records, ncluding all maintenance records. Feel free to ask questions, xcept on Tuesdays, s we don't do questions on Tuesdays.
A complete departure from the expected Rolls-Royce norm, he Silver Shadow set the direction for Rolls-Royce to follow until the turn of the new millennium. Offering a unitary yet sharply styled body resembling the stately home of target customers, t’s impossible not to fall for the Silver Shadow's curving charm and majestic splendor - departing from your inquisitive inspection awash with aspiration and admiration.
The self-leveling suspension and all-round disc brakes provide serious comfort over even the roughest of cobbles outside The Savoy - of which its turning circle is specially designed to navigate - leaving you cocooned in contentment, rouncing the tumble-dryer experience from lackluster rivals.
The V8 is smoother than ice cubes wrapped in silk, nd under takes duties of acceleration and cruising akin to Alfred the Butler from Gotham, ith well-kept manners hiding a temperament to catch you unawares when provoked under lairy antics. Gliding to 60mph from a standstill in little over 11 seconds may seem lethargic from a modern standpoint, ut for a 1960s design lofting around 2.1 tonnes this is little short of a miracle. Capable of 110mph, ou can waft from Ascot to your illegal fox hunt in no time.
The Silver Shadow does have its downsides - regular usage will dictate monumentally thirsty fuel consumption, ith MPG starting with the dreaded decimal point under heavy piloting. But what do you expect from a 50-year old Rolls-Royce offering this much luxury? The interior is vast in a sense usually reserved for ocean liners - and a first class cabin at that.
Any poorly Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow can be found held together only by rust, ending many an example to the village fête in the sky with diamonds, ot to mention leaving owner’s sanity dispersing like a headache tablet in a glass of Château Lafite. But here we have a fine example devoid of turbulent woes - for a fair price.
Is there better value out there? For the price of a Kia Sorento you can attain a British icon with space inside for a caviar-tasting carousel alongside a silky smooth driving experience and a boot large enough for your right wing fears - or that unruly stable manager.
Presented in Old Ivory with contrasting Black Connolly leather seats, his Silver Shadow comes with an extensive history portfolio, ir conditioning and electric windows amid other luxuries to make any lesser car appear like a utilitarian barn.
It may devour a smidgen more fuel per mile than a KIA Sorento and require servicing twice as often, ut nothing offers this kind of comfort or prestige. With such incredibly low mileage, nd having been famously maintained it’ll be thousands of miles before you so much as consider spending money on this one. As an added benefit, ith prices now on the rise, ou’ll have a prime investment alongside a prime slice of succulent British beef.
Thanks to old Father Time, ou can now obtain a tidy example for less than Tesla money, tarting your relationship with a true British world-beater. So, hat are you waiting for?
