1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

Highlights

• Showing 43,883 miles on the odometer, believed to be correct
• Tasteful period colour scheme
• Appears a highly original example in very good condition for its age

The Appeal

For grand touring duties or simply rolling around in opulent splendour, a classic Rolls is hard to beat.
The Silver Shadow signalled the start of a bold new direction for Rolls-Royce when it debuted in 1965, replacing the Silver Cloud with a modern monocoque construction, self-levelling suspension, and disc brakes all round. It became the most commercially successful Rolls-Royce of its era, and today the Silver Shadow is widely regarded as one of the most accessible ways to experience the craftsmanship and refinement for which the Crewe marque is celebrated.

This 1977 example shows a mere 43,883 miles on the odometer. The bodywork carries honest patina that speaks to a life of genuine use rather than neglect, with a blemish on the rear nearside wheel arch noted by the vendor for transparency.
