First Class Condition Throughout, and still wearing its beautiful, Original Porcelain White paintwork. Totally Original and Un-restored. Covering just 44, 000 miles. Meticulously maintained as numerous bills and invoices will show. Over £10, 500 has been spent on this lovely car in the last 2 years alone, keeping it in tip top condition. Current MOT. She drives & handles superbly.
I have had the pleasure of owning this lovely low mileage Silver Shadow for just under 6 years. Unfortunately, I am very reluctantly having to sell her due to re-location: It is not practical to take the car with me. She has been an absolute pleasure to own and drive. I have no hesitation to say she has been the most comfortable car I have ever had the pleasure of owning. It will be sad to see her go.
The exterior condition can only be described as Immaculate. The very shiny original white paintwork is in superb condition. The car is rust-free throughout, and was factory undersealed from the outset. The chrome and fittings are also in pristine condition as the photographs show.
All the wheels, rims, and Hubcaps are in excellent condition.
They are shod in matching 15″ 225/ 75 Steel Belted Radial whitewall tyres, which are all in great examined condition with good even treads.
The Bodywork is in fantastic, showroom condition. There are no dings, marks, or dents. This is a very rare rust-free example.
The undersealed underside is in superb condition and very clean.
All the door gaps, bonnet, and boot fitments are superbly aligned. Doors open and close with ease.
There are no signs of corrosion on the car. Top and bottom of pillars, door bottoms and roof panel etc are all in excellent order.
The Porcelain White paintwork is unmarked and in showroom condition. My opinion would be that the paintwork is exceptional. There are no scratches or scuffs to be found.
The glass, seals, and trims are all in pristine condition. There are no cracks or scratches to be seen and all trims are correct and complete.
All chrome fittings, including front and rear bumpers, are in excellent order. There are no cracks or discolouration to any of the light lenses.
The sumptuous leather seats and thick Wilton Carpets contribute to the sublime comfort and ride of this lovely vehicle. The interior can only be described as being as comfortable as home armchairs.
The leather seats are superbly presented, having been regularly cleaned and conditioned in my ownership. There’s very minimal creasing, with no splits or tears. The blue Wilton Carpets are also in blemish-free condition and meticulously looked after and protected by over mats. The carpets all completely damp-free.
The dashboard is in fantastic condition, with absolutely no fading, splitting, or cracks anywhere. It is still shiny with all dials and gauges in superb functional condition. Burr Walnut facia is in excellent shape.
The steering wheel and surrounding coverings all present very well, with only the steering wheel showing very minimal signs of wear. The column-mounted gear lever is in good shape and works as it should with no fading or peeling.
The Car has been meticulously maintained, with no expense spared – as demonstrated by the extensive servicing records. She drives beautifully. Comfortable, and effortless. The car wants for nothing. There are none of the usual knocks or rattles present.
The engine and gearbox are both original and perform as they should: this is an excellent first time starter that runs very smoothly and effortlessly, with no unwanted knocks or groans. One of the tappets/ valves may need slight adjustment (a little ticking when engine is cold). This soon disappears when warmed up and oil pressure rises.
The Engine has been regularly serviced by Rolls-Royce Specialist Garages as previous invoices show. Over £10, 500 has been spent on maintenance and servicing alone since 2023. In total I’ve spent just over £11, 500 to keep her in tip top condition during my ownership.
There are receipts during this period for £1, 077. 75 – £2, 008. 73 – £6, 594. 71 – £795 – £655. 25 and £1, 421. 25. Large invoices in 2021 for £2, 475. 39 – £1, 492 and £2, 740. Large invoice in 2013 for £9, 093. 44 and many more
Oils have been regularly changed and all hoses, etc. regularly maintained. The suspension and brakes are all in first class condition, having been professionally maintained as previous invoices will show.
All receipts for recent professional overhauls are to hand. A complete braking system overhaul, including strip down and replacement of accumulators, fluid, and sensing/ control valves are indicated in the paperwork. The car drives absolutely superbly.
Very smooth: the car pulls effortlessly, as she should.
This car has been the most comfortable drive of any car that I have every owned or driven. I will be sad to see her go.
All of the electrics are in good condition. The wiring looms are all in good order. Specialist Maintained
