The Shadow's arrival in 1965 was none too soon and did much to reverse the notion that Rolls-Royce was falling behind the times. It resulted in many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction rather than separate body/chassis units, disc rather than drum brakes and independent rear suspension. Though shorter and narrower than the Silver Cloud III it replaced, the John Polwhele Blatchley-penned newcomer nevertheless possessed greater space for both luggage and passengers and certainly boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6230cc, though this was enlarged to 6750cc during 1970. The car's famed 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroen. Finished in Dark Blue matched to a Black leather interior ‘SPD637L’ has covered 124,900 miles from new and has been in current family ownership since 2001. Offered with a collection of invoices, drivers handbook, original sales brochure and old MOT certificates back to 1983 at 87,417 miles. Included in the sale is a detailed mechanical report from 2020 and the vendor currently grades the engine, transmission, interior, bodywork and paintwork as ‘Good’ with the electrical equipment as ‘Average’.

Vendor Condition Ratings:

Bodywork: 'Good’
Engine: 'Good'
Electrical Equipment: 'Average'
Paintwork: ‘Good'
Gearbox: 'Good'
Interior Trim: 'Good'

PLEASE NOTE: The driver’s side electric seat and window do not work
