A collectors dream!

By the early 1960s, the Silver Cloud series was becoming dated, even for a tradition-bound manufacturer like Rolls-Royce, but the introduction of the Silver Shadow in 1965 erased any doubt that the firm was committed to dramatic change.


The overall effect was stunning. Vestiges of separate fenders were gone, and the cars sat lower. This concession to New World design, however, gave up nothing in elegance. A formal roof line was retained, as well as the hallmark radiator grille topped with the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot. Beneath the modern yet elegant faade lay thoroughly up-to-date technology: unitary construction, independent rear suspension, automatic chassis leveling and four-wheel disc brakes. The engine was increased in displacement from 6,230 to 6,750cc in 1969 to overcome power losses attributed to emission controls; the same year a long-wheelbase version was introduced.


The 1973 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow LWB featured here is finished in gorgeous dark Scots Pine Metallic with an impeccably kept original beige leather interior surrounded by magnificent walnut woodwork throughout. This incredible motorcar is among one of the finest examples we have seen in decades. This single-family owned Rolls-Royce has been meticulously maintained and kept in a climate controlled garage when not in use. We are proud to offer what we believe to be one of the very best Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow LWBs on the market today to the true collector or enthusiast who only wants the best.
