Owning a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II (Part 8)

Published 2024-07-24
The journey end. The fun was in the journey and not just the destination. The final part of my story through searching, finding, running and selling a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II. The ups and downs of 33 months of ownership and having at long last the privilege of owning the car of my boyhood dreams. Then passing the responsibility forward to a new owner.

  • I used to own a 1976 silver shadow 😊 these cars need to be used every week. I used mine to just to go to the golf ⛳ club 4 times a week. Kept it ticking over nicely 😊Good luck 🤞 with your next adventure 😊

    I'm glad you lived your dream with this Silver Shadow. The first Rolls-Royce I ever sat in was a 1974 model in this SAME colour! I still can't forget the smell of the leather... Hoping you enjoy more journeys in the future!
  • A strange thing is that a car inspired to Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the nice 1975 Cadillac Seville , the first "compact" Cadillac and the competitor of successful German Mercedes and BMW luxury berlina or sedan in american market in the 70s, the Cadillac Seville was a great and the only success against the european sedan in USA, but the strange was that the overall layout, the design was not inspired by Audi BMW Mercedes, but by Rolls-Royce of the period in general proportions etc. And it's difficult say which car : Cadillac or Rolls-Royce was most beautiful (excuse my poor english, I'm Italian hobbyist designer)

    Hello, Thanks for the upload! So sorry to hear that you sold the lovely blue RR! Could you possibly recommend a reasonably priced, and reliable Ro-Ro shipping company for cars. (Roll on roll off service from Southampton? I would be very grateful. I‘m located in California and am considering Exporting a Shadow from the UK. Thanks and regards, Axel
