Bonus question: What year & model do you think this Rolls-Royce is?

@mylisa7547 2 жыл бұрын

1978 Silver Shadow

@SoSorry4UrLoss 2 жыл бұрын

It's a Silver Shadow. Probably early 70s based on the way the rear end looks. I'm gonna guess 1970-71.

@alishaikh2292 2 жыл бұрын

1970 rolls Royce silver shadow

@benc6614 2 жыл бұрын

It's actually a Wraith (LWB Shadow 1). These were built in much fewer numbers than standard shadows. Longer in the back doors, different rear window and the same hub caps as usually seen on later Spurs. What a car! Thanks for the great content as always!

@eddstarr2185 2 жыл бұрын

I'm going to guess it's a 1972 Silver Shadow Long Wheel Base (LWB) with the Everflex roof covering removed during the two-tone repainting job.

Yes , keep it that color as RR Paint schemes are well thought out to begin with . I've owned four of these and can say indeed they're, " Regal and Rugged when cared for properly . Pay particular attention to the Hydraulic System on these as Fluid type is very specific . Rebuilding that system is time consuming and expensive !

I don't understand why people colour change a car. Keep it factory. The original colour is the cars original personality. There will always be tell tales unless you do it bare metal. Even then you can devalue and possibly your personal taste will be outdated in a few years. I refuse to paint my house grey.

That's a Silver Shadow I, so the year would be somewhere between 1965 and 1976, I believe. The chassis tag should tell you what the original color was and if it were mine, I would return it to it's original color.

It's a Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II from the early 1970s. The vinyl roof has been removed. A two-tone paint in the same colour scheme would be correct, and of course a new vinyl top in matching crème or black. Fully restored and proper maintained, it's a great car to own and drive.
