jjeffery worboys I think the colour is amazing! Tastes / fashion is cyclical after all- the last few years have seen a massive trend towards rose gold and copper, this could pass as a blend of the two. Although I have to admit to having a soft spot for the two tone cars in silvers and blue or burgundy.
This is what I call a real car! 0-60 ? Who cares? You can only drive 20MPH in London anyway. Comfort and Safety is what we need on the road not Speed! 60’s is the best era for car industry.
Is the colour 'Nutmeg'? Originally a Corniche colour available at extra cost on the Shadow II. I took delivery of a new Nutmeg 1978 S Registered tax free Australian specification Shadow II with brown piping. Had it for 12 months in the UK before 5 months youth hostelling around Europe prior to shipping home to Sydney... Saved 92.85% import duty and sales tax after 15 months use and possession. 6,000 Aussies indulged that year in half priced cars from Mercs, BMWs, Jags, Ferraris plus the occasional Citroen or Peugeot. It was the last year of tax free cars to Australia. It was a hoot picking up hitchhikers - some would change their destination just to have a longer journey in the Roller. Many thought it funny I was staying in youth hostels. I used to hide the car away from the hostel... It could waft along at a very sprightly pace with the 6.75 litre engine, rack and pinion steering and quite good dynamics for such a large 'Conveyance'. Interesting that it was not as reliable or comfortable as my Citroen CX Prestige...
Wasn't there a legend saying you can hear just the dashboard clock in RR? There is in fact still the nice V8 rumble though made decently low, a pleasant surprise:-)
Love the Silver Shadow and have been thinking about buying one. It's actually a bit noisier than I would have thought. Here in Australia I once owned a 1983 Holden Commodore SL/E which was the top of the range fitted with a factory original V8. They were actually closely related to the Vauxhall Carlton/Opel Senator but made in Australia, beefed up and fitted with a big Holden V8. If I close my eyes and just listen, your Rolls Royce sounds exactly like my old Commodore! Probably sacrilegious to compare a RR to a Holden but the honest truth.
Much nicer than the vulgar, blingy, crap “Rolls Royce” make now. I’d have this over one of the modern ones any day: refined, elegant, understated good taste.
They are quite practical. Well built and solid, lots of space for people and luggage and they just keep going. I've had a 1965 Silver Cloud III for 39 years and had one breakdown in it. It always starts first time and at 65 I don't suppose I will ever have another car. It has also appreciated in value.
Retro Classic Car you know, I have never been in Britain but I was in Ireland. It has same situation. Everywhere especially in touristic roads. You must pass the bus that appear to you and sometimes drive to peaky bush near roads, scratching your car. I like British island and culture but it's strange. Especially for country that produces not small Range Rover and most biggest sedan- Rolls Royce. For me- it's riddle. But ok
@@thundercracker2339 Most of our roads existed before cars were even invented. Most roads like this follow historic routes. We have a lot of roads that were originally built by the Romans!
Love seeing a Big old roller barrelling down back roads!
Thats some insanely good luxury for the price thats for sure!
Thank you!
Exceptionally nice. Not everyones choice of colour, but it has understated class. Appears to drive very well. A decent Shadow is a lovely thing.

Beautiful Royce
I love The Classic Rolls Royce

Sounds classy. I like the sweet low rumble.
I used to in a silver shadow, absolutely spectacular beyond belief 😍 seriously thinking 🤔 of buying another
A view of one truly in command!

Yeah. It's becasue the clocks were so damn loud!
THE BEST LOOKING AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RR AND BENTLEY CARS.
The best Rolls Royce ever made 😋 👌

It’s mainly because the windows are open in the video.
Nah, that's 6.75 has something not quite right. They're not meant to sound like that at idle. 😀
Bellissima!
Gonna git me one I swear it 😮
Class! And style / comfort.😊
Beautiful car and good driver .
Thanks :)
beautiful ride in this powerful beauty, great fun !! you are a pretty good driver !! thanks a lot
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
one word. Beautiful 😀👍
What a lovely car.
GREAT VÍDEO!!!
Thanks!
I can only imagine that a car like this makes the owner feel a little regal. Quite a special car.
Very nice brisk drive.
Wow Excellent
A CAR FOR FIT FOR A KING 🤴 A CAR FOR THE RICH AND FAMOUS
What a carr🔥🔥
Timeless and elegant....... SAY no more! 79mod!? 👍🙂☀️
foréver classic 🥂
amazing
Thanks
Quite possibly the most regal and stately automobile ever created. Along with the Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3.
Une vidéo incroyable..
Nice drive
Thanks 👍
What would the price be new in 1980 I wonder.
I Been inside of The 1984 Roll Royce,
May I ask how much petrol it eats up per week?
If you have to ask, it’s not the car for you 😂
Its lpg😂drinks like cow off sure
Don't think you drive this sort of thing for the fuel economy 😉
Probably like any large car or sporty car with a V8 engine. Poor in the city, not too bad out on the open highway.
Much nicer than the vulgar, blingy, crap “Rolls Royce” make now. I’d have this over one of the modern ones any day: refined, elegant, understated good taste.
Absolutely agree with you. Rolls Royce certainly doesn't make cars for its traditional clients anymore.
I think i hear the song from Depeche mode!. Silence!!!!!.
what year is this car…?
nice
Thanks!
im inlove, like damn!
"Rollin' in the Rolls Royce Corniche,
Only the doctors got this; I'm hiding from police."
Why is this one not called Corniche?
Because the Corniche was a different model. A two door coupe or convertible.
sounds like a WW2 fighter plane
ROLLS ROYCE…… Still the Finest Motorcar in the World😇
I WOULD LOVE TO OWN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR LIKE THIS
For most of us a Rolls-Royce makes as much sense as a third nostril, but love is blind.

Crewe made
so narrow roads. Why?
English country roads :)

For me- it's riddle. But ok
Because most of them date from the days before cars.

Sounds like railway engine
Use me as : I am here after seeing dhoni drive it button.😂
