1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow IA

This superb. three-owner Silver Shadow IA is impeccably presented in its original colour of Peacock Blue over Magnolia Hide. and boasts lovely brightwork throughout. Optioned when new with a Black Everflex roof. it maintains its exact original specification today. including special-order touches such as black inserts in the interior air vents.

As the ideal accompaniment to its presentation. this outstanding motor car possesses a literal mountain of history. dating right from its original servicing records in 1974 to the very present day. Featuring a large folder which houses its voluminous service history and collection of Mo T certificates. this Shadow has clearly been an object of affection of its three careful owners.

Of particular interest is that the motor car was serviced at the Rolls-Royce factory in Crewe for the first 14 years of its life and has been cossetted to the highest standards. validating its current mileage of 74. 00. Its interior still basks in the aroma of rich Connolly hides. a testament to the quality of workmanship and materials so well associated with Rolls-Royce motor cars of the period.

The Magnolia seats are in simply stunning condition. as is the interior woodwork. and must be seen to be appreciated. These high standards also extend to the Shadow's coachwork. which is simply beautiful and carries the air of timeless elegance that only a chrome-bumper Rolls-Royce can provide.

Of particular interest to the collector and enthusiast is that this Shadow carries an impressive collection of its factory-issued documentation. including hardback Owner's Handbook (which alone is a delightful period piece). its service book. European touring brochure. sales and service handbook. warranty sheet and new owner's information booklet with tyre-pressure insert in pristine condition (a rare find from this generation). These are all contained in the motor car's original Rolls-Royce document wallet. which is a neat synopsis of just how complete. pristine and impeccably this superb Shadow I is presented.
