This 1968 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is presented in an elegant two-tone blue and silver finish, a combination that perfectly complements the cars timeless lines and understated presence. The paintwork highlights the Shadows graceful proportions, while its unmistakable Rolls-Royce grille and Spirit of Ecstasy lead the way with quiet authority.

Inside, you are welcomed by a beautifully appointed cream interior supple, inviting, and unmistakably luxurious. Rich woodgrain cabinetry flows throughout the cabin, with exquisite fold-down picnic tables in the rear, creating an environment more akin to a private members lounge than a motorcar. Every detail speaks to craftsmanship from an era when cars were built without compromise.

Powered by the legendary 6,230cc V8 engine, the Silver Shadow delivers its performance in the way only a Rolls-Royce can effortlessly, silently, and with commanding smoothness. This is not about speed; it is about presence, composure, and arriving with distinction.

The 1968 Silver Shadow marked a significant chapter for Rolls-Royce, blending traditional hand-built luxury with advanced engineering of its time. Today, it represents exceptional value in the world of classic motoring offering heritage, elegance, and investment appeal in equal measure.

A motorcar for the discerning collector or the individual who appreciates true sophistication.
