About the Silver Shadow
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (1965-1980) was revolutionary with monocoque construction, self-leveling suspension, and disc brakes. The 6.75-litre V8 in a more modern package. Over 30,000 built - the most successful Rolls-Royce ever. Affordable classic luxury.
Known Issues to Watch For
Silver Shadow/Corniche: Engine: 6.75 V8 - virtually indestructible. Oil leaks common but manageable. Gearbox: GM TH400 - reliable. Hydraulics: Self-leveling suspension and brakes use complex high-pressure system - EXPENSIVE when faulty (accumulators, pump, pipes). This is the main concern. Rust: Monocoque - check sills, floors, inner wings. Corniche convertible: Check roof mechanism, seals. Budget £5-10k annually. Hydraulic system is the critical check.
Desirable Options
Shadow II (better steering), Corniche body (convertible most valuable), Fuel injection, Good hydraulics, Solid bodywork
