By the 1960s, Rolls-Royce were beginning to look decidedly stuffy amongst its contemporaries. Cool Britannia had brought in a ton of revolutionary designs, while Rolls were lagging in tradition. The Silver Shadow was the remedy. A sleeker, lighter Roller that boasted the creme de la creme of ride quality, comfort and quality. It was still a big old luxury coach for the elite, but the modernised lines now seemed much more befitting of rock stars and celebrities. Put simply, it was cooler.
This example, which rolled out of Crewe in 1969, is a particularly distinguished example, having been cossetted by its previous owners. With an enormous selection of paperwork behind it, we’re confident that this is an utterly superb retro classic.
Presented with a highly enviable history file, a beautiful interior and stylish paintwork, this is a seductive example of a highly treasured Rolls-Royce that’s sure to charm even the most seasoned collector.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
