Maintained regardless of cost by renowned Rolls-Royce specialists
THE APPEAL
Back when it debuted in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was billed as the best car in the world. A bold claim, but one not without foundation, for it was both technologically advanced and a delight to drive.
It continued in production until 1981, with a 1977 facelift bringing in the Silver Shadow 2, with a modernised cabin and thicker US-compliant impact bumpers, as well as substantial revisions to the steering, suspension and build quality to make it more satisfying to both own and drive.
Registered in November 1977, this is one of the very first of the Shadow 2s and has been lovingly care for throughout its life, with a full and well-documented service history provided via a network of well-known Rolls-Royce specialists including Hillier Hill, Flying Spares, AB Price, Michael Powles and Royce Motor Services, each one of them a leading expert.
It’s an unrestored, original car with a genuine low mileage of just 61,485, making it an especially rare thing, presented in superb, near-flawless condition.
This is a charming and lovely example of the Silver Shadow 2, presented in truly immaculate condition and ready to show and enjoy. The bodywork and paint finish is superb, the interior is a time warp and it is in fine mechanical order with a genuine low mileage.
There aren’t many as good as this one – it’s a fabulous car, refreshingly different from tired examples in wedding car white. One for the Rolls-Royce connoisseur.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
C&C prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours. You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
