About the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
The Silver Shadow of October 1965 was the first Rolls-Royce built as a monocoque, with independent rear suspension, disc brakes all round and high-pressure hydraulics, made under licence from Citroën, for the brakes and self-levelling. The engine grew from 6.23 to 6.75 litres in 1970, and the Shadow II followed in 1977; 30,057 were built in the two generations.
What moves the price
- Body condition: rust in the lower panels and structure.
- The hydraulic system, which runs the brakes and suspension and is among the most expensive areas to repair.
- Service history: regular, documented specialist maintenance.
Before you buy, check
- The sills, wheel arches, wings, valances, inner wings and boot floor, and the rear corners on chrome-bumper cars.
- The hydraulics, by a specialist: both low-pressure warning lights should go out once the engine is running.
- The aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid where trim is fitted, and records of hydraulic overhauls.
