1971 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW LONG WHEEL BASE + DIVISION WINDOW, WRAITH BENTLEY

1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Additional Info:

Very rare 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow LWB with division window and left hand drive. The VIN is LRX10521. The old car is very solid, straight and original with a repaint that if I had to guess would say happened about 30+ years ago. She starts instantly hot or cold and and the transmission clicks into drive or reverse without any hesitation whatsoever. The car presents well under the hood and everything appears correct and original with some new AC hoses and so on showing that she has been cared for and maintained. The trunk has its tool kit, jack, lug wrench and tool bag. She has always been kept indoors and out of the elements. For the most part the interior is very presentable. The rear compartment has very nice fold down footrests with Mouton rugs and and a seperate radio with heat and AC controls for the rear, nice wide headrests and very cool looking AC ducts on the inside of each C pillar. There are a couple of stains but overall I would give it a 7+ out of 10 considering it is 47 years old. The pictures really tell the story. A top class professional interior clean and detail would work wonders. The front compartment is all in good order with everything being pretty much correct and original. The car has been fitted with a multi disc CD changer with remote control clicker and an aftermarket stereo but nothing has been cut up or messed around with during the installation, years ago by the look of it. The original padded dash is excellent. All the chrome trim and stainless steel are excellent as you can see with very nice bumpers, grill and so forth. My apologies for the horrible pictures, particularly of the interior which do not do it justice. It was just turning to dusk and i was in a hurry so the interior looks sort of dingy when in fact its a lot better. I am happy to provide any pictures you might need.
When i got the car it had enough brakes to drive off of the trailer but the pedal is just about on the floor now. The sight glasses on the brake reservoir show one side to be about half full and the other side to be about two thirds full. The brakes might need bleeding and adjustment from where the old girl has been barely used for the last 4 or 5 years or they might need more work, I simply cannot put my hand on my heart and tell you either way for certain. The gas is somewhat stale and I think a flushing of the system and fresh high test is the order of the day. These engines were designed to run on unleaded 100 octane and they don't really like unleaded let alone fairly stale unleaded. But she never fails to start on the very first turn of the key. There is a very slight exhaust leak that needs to be attended to, nothing major and more annoying than loud. An easy fix. All the lights work and all the glass is excellent with no scratches, particularly on the divider window which is impossible to get. The paint is driver quality and looks great from ten feet.
The car comes with clean and clear title and will make a wonderful and very rare car for someone with a little time and effort. I cannot attest to the mileage as the title shows Mileage Exempt due to the cars age. If you want anymore pictures of have any questions please call me on 864 356 3343 M-F 9-5.

I have some history going back to the Pre Delivery Order from H J Mulliners to Claridge Holt & Co dated 4/29/1971. I believe the original owners kept the car for 20+ years and the guy I got it from had owned it since 2003 but not used it very much at all in the last 4-5 years. A friends wedding, Christmas parades and things of that nature but no real usage to speak of. So some long term ownership and some gaps in between but the important thing to me is that the old girl has always been cared for even when idle for lengthy periods.
So I have some paperwork all of which comes with the car. And the car does have its correct original Formal Sedan Long Wheel Base handbook in the glovebox in very nice condition. Now there is a rarity ! The original warranty cards and various letters from Rolls Royce are therealong with previous registrations et cetera.I am happy to photograph all I have and email it, just call me with your email address. 864 356 3343. Many thanks, David.
