1976 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I
A genuine, Australian-delivered Silver Shadow I finished in White, showing an indicated 47,764 kilometres. One of the most usable classic Rolls-Royces you can buy, the Silver Shadow combines a smooth 6.75-litre V8, self-levelling suspension and hand-crafted interior in a package that wafts down the road like nothing else from 1976.
Description / Overview:
This Shadow has been looked after. The white paintwork presents consistently across all panels, the chrome is bright, the panel gaps are straight, and the engine bay is clean with no obvious leaks. It carries its original Australian compliance plate (dated March 1976) confirming it was delivered new to this country, and comes backed by its original leather-bound owner's handbook and a remarkably complete factory tool kit, right down to the original spare bulbs.
Inside, the tan Connolly leather is worn in the expected places but it's not cracked or falling apart. The dashboard pad has held up beautifully for a 49-year-old car. The walnut veneer cappings need professional re-lacquering, which is the main restoration item here. Headlining is clean and taut. Instruments are consistent with the stated mileage.
The 6.75-litre V8 sits in a clean engine bay with twin SU carburettors and correct hydraulic system components all visible. This is a numbers-plausible, Australian-delivered Shadow that needs underbody inspection to complete the picture. It drives the price guide conversation on its own if the structure comes up clean.
