1975 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I

Highlights

• Extensive history file reportedly containing tens of thousands of pounds in receipts
• Attractive two-tone colour scheme with royal blue interior
• Restoration project requiring recommissioning
• The silver shadow has benefited from a new refurbished radiator in the current vendors ownership
• The interior is in overall good condition and does not appear to have any tears

The Appeal

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I is one of the most recognisable and significant post-war Rolls-Royces, bringing monocoque construction and self-levelling suspension to a marque steeped in tradition.

Finished in a two-tone colour scheme with a royal blue interior, this Silver Shadow comes with an extensive history file offering a window into the considerable investment it has received over the years. However, the car has been parked on the roadside for about two to three years after a period of intermittent use, and it now needs significant attention to the body, suspension, and running gear. This is a project for a committed enthusiast.
