The Appeal
Although the legendary automaker has never quite missed the mark with its luxurious creations, the Silver Shadow stands aside as something truly special. Introduced in 1965 as the successor to the Silver Cloud, the Silver Shadow helped modernize Rolls-Royce greatly, introducing the likes of a unitary chassis, independent rear suspension and numerous key advancements. Rightfully so, the model continues to shine today, garnering the attention of collectors, enthusiasts and wedding services across the globe.
Should you be on the search for one of these iconic motors, this particular Silver Shadow I certainly deserves your attention. The vehicle boasts just 7 former recorded keepers, a remarkably low mileage figure of just 30,120 miles, and proudly displays an iconic White, Magnolia, and Champagne colourway. Offered in excellent mechanical order, this would serve as a fantastic asset to any wedding car hire business, and will no doubt stand out in any collection.
