ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW 1973

This wonderful Rolls Royce Silver Shadow is a credit to its last owner who fastidiously kept the car for some 42 years.

Originally delivered to Grassicks Rolls Royce of Perth, Scotland with a mileage reading of 00087 on 20/08/1973.

The car was ordered in a classic combination of Regal Red ICI with tan hide on its original registration mark SSN 263M.

Having had only 3 previous owners the last owner purchased the vehicle back in March of 1981, who added his own personal touches in that same year, a private plate ‘740 BHO’ and the commissioning of the top half of the vehicle colour changed to a very eye catching willow gold.

The paintwork was done to a very high standard at the cost of around £2,000 which would be around £8,000 in todays money.

The body work on this vehicle is excellent,the sills of the vehicle are solid as are all of the wheel arches.

Of course there are some blemishes here and there commensurate of age but she is 50 years old next month.

The interior is in superb order, with a fantastic patina to the seats, the veneers are in good order as are the carpets, footstools and leather headlining, the vehicle also benefits from having the very desirable tear drop front headrests.

All the window motors are in working order as is the electric aerial and original Radio, the separate 8 track was changed in 1981 for a cassette player but we still have the original 8 track should you wish for it.

It is evident that this vehicle has been serviced regularly all its life, the braking system is absolutely perfect with all warning lights extinguishing immediately upon starting, (see video) the brakes are strong and very responsive and the vehicle sits at the correct level on matching Avon tyres.

The oil in this car is like new as the car was last serviced at Starmans Rolls Royce specialist just 747 miles ago with a bill of just under £1000

This pampered shadow even comes with its own cotton and cashmere lined indoor car cover with RR Logo

(these are very very expensive)
