Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 6.8 371 PS Automatik, 1971 р.в.

HighlightsLong-term current keeper since 1992Well presented car in silver with Everflex roof and grey leather Desirable chrome bumper model with 6.75L engine Always garaged by current keeper The AppealRolls-Royce’s switch to unitary body construction suited the goal of making the Silver Shadow a car for owner-drivers. This thoroughly modern new model aimed to attract a new type of buyer, perhaps one not equipped with a title, with much-improved levels of comfort and handling. Those qualities explain why the Silver Shadow’s engineering underpinned the firm’s models for decades and also its enduring appeal with enthusiasts. For marque enthusiasts, it is the pretty chrome bumper ‘Shadow I’ cars that carry growing appeal thanks to their ‘purer’ iteration of John Blatchley’s clever design. Of those cars, the larger-engined 6,750cc model, introduced in 1970, is particularly desirable. This early 6.75L chrome bumper car is a proper find. It is a low-mileage and seemingly very original car that has been with the current keeper since 1992. We’re told that he has always garaged it. It is a smartly finished car in generally well-kept silver metallic with an optional black Everflex roof and preserved grey and black leather cabin. There are a few paintwork points to note, but the photos suggest they don’t overly detract from its usability and appeal. This is the kind of well-specified Shadow that you could use ‘as is’ or gradually improve. Whichever you choose, we wish it well with its first new keeper in four decades. image.png 1.52 MBKey InformationMileage: 89,821 miles indicated (stated as correct by seller)Country of registration: United KingdomTechnical inspection status: MOT exempt Technical specs: 6,750cc V8, 3spd automaticPaperwork: older invoices, handbook, wallet, V5Cimage.png 1.29 MBThe DetailVIN number LRH11933Current keeper since December 1992 and said to have always been garagedAttractive silver metallic paintwork in fair condition for ageSome age to note to wing tops as shown in photos Stone chips and edge chips to check in photos Underside as shown Factory specification Avon Turbosteel tyres fittedSteel wheels with correct ‘vented’ wheel trims fittedGrey leather seats with black console and dash top Interior in good order with few signs of wear as shown Attractive early dashboard in good orderExtensive wood veneers in good condition with some light delamination Retains period features such as Radiomobile 8-track stereo Blue/grey carpets through cabin and boot appear clean and well kept image.png 1.36 MBBEFORE YOU BUY This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions.
