Basic information and history
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is the epitome of British luxury and engineering. Introduced in 1965, this classic flagship set a new standard for comfort, innovation and elegance. The 1976 Silver Shadow is beloved by car enthusiasts the world over for its advanced technology and timeless design.
This particular example was imported from England to Sweden in 2001 and has only had 3 previous owners. The owner talks warmly about his childhood dream which is now being passed on to the next enthusiast – for those of you who want to realize the vision of owning a genuine Rolls-Royce, belonging to the classic era!

Fun fact: Security is top notch – the original key is not used, as the ignition is switched and requires a unique button sequence (and activation of the main switch in the trunk). An unusually theft-proof Rolls-Royce!
