My son who lives in Beverly Hills has a 1973 Silver Shadow in Caribbean Blue. It is in pristine condition but presents occasionally, with a few problems. He is an absolutely devoted to its upkeep and cannot bear the thought of losing it. His beautiful Rosemary Rolls Royce will be repaired , returned and remain a legend forever.
Probably about correct on that price. Maybe higher if you go for a bare metal respray and a well looked after low mileage engine compartment. Yes, sometimes I think the Shadows can look rather bland in their usual blacks, silvers and browns. I suppose it's all down to personal taste. The colour of this one however usually draws very favourable comments.
That is one gorgeous looking Rolls Royce. With the way you have looked after it the next owner is going to get a prestige vehicle with no legacy issues to fettle. Good luck with the sale from Perth Au.
Yes i know this is a beautifully made Rolls_Royce car 🚙. But you have to remember, these Silver Shadows are now over 40 years old !. The last ones coming off the production line in 1980. So there is always going to be on going issues with there reliability. It will always come down to how much time and money 💵 you are prepared to spend on any car , to keep it on the road ?.

Id expect one of the very best for that price.
Love the colour!

See Part 8!
Are they car tents got special gas inside or dehumidified or is it just to keep dust off, and how mach are they?
Only air! I've had it for 3 winters now and can only recommend it. Can't remember the exact cost but probably around £500.

Yes I totally agree. Part 8 (due out in the next few days) discusses this very point along with another interesting article from The Times newspaper.
