Very Rare
This is a most desirable
chrome bumper era Silver Shadow in a beautiful light blue metallic with off-white
fine-lines to the body waist-lines and hub-cap beauty rings. The Connolly
interior is finished in dove grey-blue Connolly hides with matching
This Silver Shadow has been
owned by a collector whose focus has only been very fine examples. We were very
fortunate to have acquired her during the winter. This stunning example has
recently been gone-through by the
The exterior presentation of
this Silver Shadow is exemplary. The body is exceptionally straight and the
paint is of an excellent high standard and finish. The car underwent a same colour
full respray some 10 years and the finish is spectacular. This is without
question a $25,000+ paint-job with the car completely stripped including all
windows out and new rubbers. It now displays virtually no marks and anything
you might pick is so minor that the car retains a show-class quality finish. Completely
consistent, very shiny, deep-lustered and a glass like "flat" finish
that is to true Rolls-Royce standards.
Fitments and finishes are in
excellent to flawless condition; chrome, bright-work, glass, lights, lenses,
handles, grille and badges.
The interior of the car is in
stunning presentation. Being the very early Silver Shadow she has the widely loved "Chippendale dash" which offers a beautiful expanse of wood and a plethora of chrome switchgear. And, of course, also because it is an early Shadow, she has those beautiful picnic tables fitted to the back of the front seats (standard fitment only only on 1966 & 1967). The African burl walnut wood is spectacular. All the
wood, dash, console, door cappings and vanity mirrors are in excellent
condition showing just the right amount of patina but without any cracks or
issues. There are many close-up photographs to see how beautiful it is.
The rest of the interior is very clean and tidy and requires no attention. The
Connolly hide leather is superb. There are definitely no tears, wear or
unsightly scratches or marks and remain soft and supple. The headliner is very
clean and in perfect original condition. The dash board and rear parcel shelf
are factory excellent. Carpets are clean and tidy and the trunk is pretty much
flawless to perfect!
All interior features and
functions are fully operational including all electrics – seats, windows and
gauges. The heater is hot and A/C blowing icy cold.
Being an early Shadow it has the very elegant interior door handles that were sadly replaced in in 1968 to accommodate new Federal safety standards.
Mechanically, the car is in
superior condition and the presentation under the bonnet clearly shows that. It
has not been “done-up” for sale but maintained in original condition which is
very impressive for the age of the car. The car has been recently serviced. All
hydraulics and brakes have been regularly serviced and recently inspected,
pressure tested, bled and working perfectly – all heights are correct - and
there are no outstanding matters requiring attention. A brand new set of 215/75
whitewall tyres, with plenty of tread, adorn each corner of the car. As
expected of a fine example, the car comes with its correct jack, tools and
operating manual. Showing 14,000 miles, the mileage is not verifiable but the current condition makes it look exactly that.
*** I had a call from a previous owner after first listing this Shadow who informed me the mileage is genuine. The car was laid-up for some 30 years and when he took possession of the car in 2002, it had 12,000 miles. I have no further evidence than this anecdotal information so make your decisions accordingly, but it appears this is a genuine 14,000 mile example!***
It is very important to note,
this Silver Shadow has NOT been "tarted-up" but is a very well
maintained original factory condition collector condition car. Anything
repaired or attended to has been done so professionally and with pride &
passion by its last owner of some 20 years. The car is an extremely beautiful
presenting example that is well in advance of any Silver Shadow and is in
excellent driver condition. It easily ranks a 10 out of 10 driver and is
without question, show worthy.
~~ This is a significantly
well-above average example of a Silver Shadow. As a top-class driver condition
example, it needs absolutely nothing doing or spent on her. Given the unique
presentation and condition of this classic and rare SY sedan, it is also show
worthy and could be taken as-is to your next Rolls-Royce meet with great pride. ~~
