1978 ROLLS SILVER SHADOW 11 - EXCEPTIONAL - JUST 15K MILES ! For Sale

No doubt one of the finest examples left of the legendary Silver Shadow 11. Supplied new by Henlys on 5th January 1978, to a local Dr living in Croydon, and remained in the same family for 37 years. Due to its exceptionally low miles, this car was dry stored much of the time. After bereavement the car passed into the hands of the daughter, and in 2010 a major recommissioning was carried out by Royce Motors, Reigate, Surrey at 10k miles, with invoicing present. The car has covered a further 5k miles, which has allowed ample running in and settling down to take place. Having owned many examples of this model myself, one can tell instinctively within a few seconds when these cars are just right. Open the door, the pristine interior and walnut facings greet you just as they would in 1978. The engine settles to a super smooth idle after start up. The smoothness of the gear selection and changing reinforces confidence, as does the instant ice cold air conditioning. The sharpness of sound on the Blaupunt Frankfurt radio reminds oneself this was the Bang & Olufsen of its period. Braking is superbly smooth and progressive at all speeds. The car retains all the original documentation, including factory delivery note and original warranty card. The feeler gauges in the factory toolkit remain wrapped in their original grease proof paper. The engine still bears the original factory warning tag regarding Glycol strengths, which normally lasted only a couple of years. This car is simply as close an experience to buying a new Shadow as you are ever likely to experience. May P/ X. Please see main website - details above for more images.
