The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow represented a major step forward for the marque, combining traditional British craftsmanship with modern unitary construction, independent suspension and the famously smooth Rolls-Royce V8 engine.

This 1970 Silver Shadow I is finished in an elegant two-tone silver and grey combination, complemented by whitewall tyres and its distinctive chrome detailing. The cabin retains its traditional wood veneer and light-coloured leather upholstery, presenting with honest age-related patina that adds to the car’s character.

With 81,515 miles indicated, this right-hand-drive example starts, runs and drives well. It delivers the quiet, unhurried and wonderfully refined driving experience for which the Silver Shadow became renowned.

An imposing classic with unmistakable road presence, this Silver Shadow offers its next custodian the opportunity to enjoy one of Rolls-Royce’s most recognisable and significant models.
