A collector’s 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 façade 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 LWB’s
on the market today to the true collector or enthusiast who only
wants the best. Ready to make an investment that you can actually
