Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I

This 1974 Silver Shadow I is a usable, honestly presented car rather than a concours piece. It is finished in Larch Green over beige hide with Cumberland Stone carpets, and the dealer notes the paint has room for improvement though it has no significant blemishes. The cabin is described as well preserved, with clean leather and good veneers.

It left the factory on 16 October 1974, supplied through Mann Egerton of London, and the original bill of sale survives. The first owner was a company director who garage-kept it for use at a Cornwall holiday home. The 65,230 miles shown are backed by historic MOT certificates going back to 1985, when the car had 31,009 miles.

The history file includes the original handbooks and a stamped service book with a continuation book. Recent upkeep was carried out by Starmans of Market Bosworth, with about £8,300 documented over the last nine years. Shadow Vehicle Services also maintained it between 1994 and 2003.
