1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

Highlights

  • Fantastic blue colour scheme 
  • Very well kept car in great condition 
  • Good maintenance history supporting displayed mileage 
  • Very appealing example of the early chrome bumper model 

The Appeal 

For enthusiasts of great saloon cars the Silver Shadow is surely the peak. Tastefully and timelessly styled it has a stately charm combined with usability that makes them enduringly popular.  
Early chrome bumper cars are truest to the original aesthetic and well specified models particularly prized.  
Beautifully finished in a combination of blue tones, including a lovely Everflex roof, this late model chrome bumper car is in very good condition, displaying a gentle patina that adds some extra character. It has clearly been cared for and comes with a huge history file, including the original bill of sale. The condition speaks clearly from the photographs, making this one to watch.
