Silver Shadow
1975
A beautiful original presenting example!

Here is a really original example of a Silver Shadow. Finished in Old Ivory with black and red finelines to the
waist-rails and beauty rings. The interior has strong contrasting ebony Connolly hides with matching Wilton carpets
throughout. The same ebony theme carries through to the boot.

This is an unmolested original presenting example that has been maintained by a Rolls-Royce enthusiast and
collector with the car taken to many shows and displays. It is primarily all original with no modifications –
right down to the original push button radio and separate Pioneer 8-track cassette player. It was owned by an
Illinois enthusiast and yet has never been used outside of sunny, summer weather driving. As a result, it has been
freed from the perils of harsh weather and is very clean underneath. It has always been well maintained and
serviced by authorized Rolls-Royce agents and comes with its original manual.

The body on this Silver Shadow is very straight and the paint is shiny and lustrous. The car still sports 90% of
its original paint. When you look down the sides of the car, they are very straight and true. The paint presents
beautifully with only the most minor little mark here and there from use but consistent with a low-mileage car. It
does display some of the typical paint cracking in the lead-wiping areas of the car (A & C pillars and top of the
fenders) which is common to not a few, but ALL original Silver Shadows. (Rolls-Royce used a process of
'lead-wiping" to join body panels, so with the different metallurgic properties of lead, steel, and aluminium, the
over-lying paint would fracture in these places). These are not very noticeable and being a white car do not "jump
out you". It needs nothing other than a wax from time to time.

The interior of this Silver Shadow looks close to perfect. The black Connolly hide leather is 100% original from
the factory. It has never been re-dyed and is in absolutely outstanding condition with no tears nor fading and very
supple and soft – true to its Connolly characteristics. The leather really has been lovingly preserved.

The burr walnut wood throughout the car is beautiful. They are also completely original and have not been redone.
Although not flawless (not a word you can use flippantly) but in excellent condition with only the most minor
imperfections on the front door cappings. Certainly stunning for a 35 year old Rolls-Royce and by no means in need
of redoing. The colour is deep, the grain rich and the finish smooth.

The head lining is all original and in great condition without any stains or soiling. Likewise, is the Everflex
finish to the dash and top-roll. The matching black Wilton wool carpets are in excellent condition and in a nice
"unused" condition. The boot (trunk) carpet with the same theme is also in great condition.

The Silver Shadow presented here has been work-shop inspected where all work needed carried out. Important costly
items such as the hydraulics and brakes were fully inspected and serviced as required. This includes checking of
all brake hoses and system pressure tested and bled. It is ready to drive and enjoy. The odometer shows a low
56,000 and the overall condition of the car evidences, without doubt, the mileage is correct (particularly when
you look at the condition of the interior, under-hood, brake pedal etc). It is very quiet and smooth on the road
without any of the typical “thumps” and “rattles” typical of poor (or even averagely) maintained examples
of this model.

The white-wall Michelin 225/75 15 tyres are a very period touch. Although old, they have plenty of tread and ride
smoothly. The hubcaps are excellent with no noticeable imperfections. All remaining bright-work is in good
condition. All electrics have been checked right down to the smallest and insignificant dash and courtesy light.

Under the bonnet, the presentation is amazing. The previous owner was very meticulous in presentation for shows.
Everything is factory original in presentation and has been precision detailed, parts painted, lines and connectors
buffed & polished and everything cleaned to a clinical degree. Even the factory fitted fan-belts with the name
"Rolls-Royce" were fitted so that the names lined up with each other on the double pullies. The under-bonnet heat
pads are near new! You must take the time to look at the photos of the engine bay as its presentation is like that
of only a new example - without exaggeration. Simply stunning and to show class standard!

As you would expect, this Silver Shadow comes with its original jack, correct tools and operating manual.

The car is of very high standard and is an easy 9 out of 10 driver rating.
