Silver Shadow 1965-1980

What is your favourite car of all time?

Introduced in 1965 as a replacement for the Silver Cloud, the Silver Shadow broke new ground for Rolls-Royce in that it was the first monocoque model to be marketed by the company. The 1965 Silver Shadow was packed with new features, which included self-levelling all-independent suspension, disc brakes all-round and the use of standard automatic transmission. Standard or lengthened versions of the Silver Shadow were offered in addition to a coach-built derivative, the Corniche. The Silver Shadow II of 1978 had rack-and-pinion steering, a new air-conditioning system and minor styling changes. When replaced in 1980 by the Silver Spirit, a total of 30,059 saloons had been produced of which 16,717 were Silver Shadow Is.
