Launched in 1965, the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was a bold departure for the Crewe company. Their first monocoque design, it also benefited from olio-pneumatic rear suspension, power disc brakes and GM's silken 400 series automatic gearbox (though, the latter was not adopted until 1968). Such 'new technology' did not encroach on the luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets. Performance from the smooth 6230cc V8 engine (upgraded to 6750cc in 1970) was assured, the car wafting forward on a seemingly unstoppable wave of torque. Still immensely cosseting to drive, Shadows offer a genuinely different ownership experience to their mass made peers.
Finished in White with a Black Everflex roof and Dark Blue leather upholstery, ‘RHS 18M’ displays a credible 107, 200 miles and shows just five former keepers on HPI. Entering the current family ownership during 1987, the Rolls-Royce is accompanied by a current V5C Registration Document, collection of old MOT certificates and handwritten notes detailing various maintenance works which date back to the early 2000s.
