"The car is in good overall condition - a neat collector's car. Needs bonnet service."

Description

For its time one of the best and most luxurious cars. This is a very neat specimen that was well serviced by its former owner - the legendary Swedish shoe store owner Sko Uno. The car is imported from California and has at some point been repainted in the original colour bur seems otherwise to be in original condition. The bonnet is intact but the keder on the rear edge is partly disconnected, which is probably easy to fix. The bonnet does not close completely. Under the engine hood everything sems to be fine except for minor traces of oil moisture on the engine.
Since Sko Uno passed away a couple of years ago, his Rolls-Royce has been stored in his garage at a crossroad to Strandvägen in Stockholm. The car worked well when it was stored but is now immobilized.

Facts about the model

Med lång tradition av specialbyggda karosser kom Silver Shadow 1965 med självbärande standardkaross. Silver Shadow blev bryggan mellan det gamla och nya men den sålde bättre än någon tidigare och på 15 år såldes fler bilar än vad Rolls-Royce lyckats bygga sedan starten 1904.
Bakom Silver Shadow låg ett mycket omfattande utvecklingsarbete vilket landade i en av världens då bästa bilar. Motor och låda var förvisso samma V8 i aluminium som i Silver Cloud nu kopplad till en automatlåda från Chevrolet. Resten var dock nyutvecklat och med hydraulisk självreglerande fjädring från Citroën, individuell hjulupphängning och skivbromsar runt om var detta en mycket högteknologisk och avancerad vagn. Så dröjde det också länge innan Silver Shadow moderniserades. Silver Shadow II kom 1977. Nyheterna var kuggstångsstyrning och möjligheten att köpa den med längre hjulbas. Därefter tillverkades den till 1981 när modellen lades ner. Som cabrioletversionen Corniche fortsatte man dock att bygga den till 1996.
