Beschreibung
For sale is this 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow I, we took this car as part exchange on a piece of plant machinery. Car is currently on a SORN with the MOT valid until January 2019. This car is VED exempt and from May this year is also MOT exempt.
Mechanically the car is in very good condition, the engine starts on the key with two pumps of the accelarator, this is the carb fed 6. 8 v8. The engine doesn't smoke and pulls effortlessly through the auto box. The suspension is soft and compliant with no knocks or rattles from the drive chain. The brakes are solid and pull the car up in a straight line. The A/ C is cold and the power steering makes this heavy car a joy to drive. New battery fitted and lots of tyre life left.
The body is in OK condition for its age, the car is presented in Rolls Royce "velvet green", there are a couple of rust marks on the front wing under the near side headlights but there is no rust on the wheel arches and the underside is also clean. The paint is showing its age, the car is 47 years old! and the paint is original to the car so there are some areas with lacquer contamination and corrosion. The bumpers do show some damage to the chrome. The lady and the imposing grill are perfect.
The interior is presented in a light blue, the leather does need to be reconditioned, also the wood dash lacquer needs re-finishing. The car has the original 1970s radio in it and it works! There is a problem with the electrics in the drivers door as both the driver side and drivers rear electric windows don't work but the passenger side does and the key lock on the drivers door can be tempremental.
Car would suit an enthusiast to fettle the issues or a wedding car business that wants a backup vehicle.
