Interior & Equipment
Luxurious interior with its sumptuous leather hide, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets...
The all original Tan hide (code VM 846) presents beautifully throughout, matching door cards, masons black top-roll, perfect fawn Ambla headling, rear footstools, original Sandringham beige carpets present as new and brand new cream luxury lambskin wool floor mats fitted. Each and every time you open the door you get a wonderful scent of leather.
All gauges, switches, and electrics work as they were intended, rear roller seatbelts have been fitted for extra safety, original Radiomobile radio and electric aerial.
Stunning Burr Walnut woodwork throughout with no fading or cracking and unmarked chrome door furniture... Simply outstanding and original.
Exterior
The immediately recognisable Silver Shadow...
Finished in stunning original Regent Red paintwork with a gold fine line. The original metallic paintwork is near flawless and displays a uniform deep gloss finish throughout, panel fit as per it left the factory some 54 years ago, door closures and panel gaps are simply perfect.
All original brightwork presents perfectly, original unmarked Triplex glass all round with the exception of a newly fitted Triplex windscreen, flawless original Lucas lighting... Stunning example.
Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
Wheels - The original Rolls-Royce wheel trims finished in Regent Red with Gold dual fine line present beautifully, dressed with excellent all matching Mastercraft Sensys 01 235/70 R15 white wall tyres.
Suspension - 'Magic carpet' ride, hydraulic self-levelling suspension fully overhauled with recent Bilstein front dampers.
Brakes - Discs all round with dual front calipers offer a reassuring brake feel and capability.
Engine & Transmission
The fully detailed engine and engine bay houses the incredible Rolls-Royce 6230cc 90 degrees, V8 engine, twin SU-carburettors, automatic choke, 3-speed GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission, estimated power is 200 bhp at approximately 4000 rpm, 0-60mph in 10.9 seconds.
Superbly refined even by today's standards. At motorway speeds there's barely a whisper of wind noise even when you bury the throttle there's little more than a muted V8 whirr. The automatic gearbox selects through the gears with the slightest interruption... A real joy to drive
Summary
