Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS
* Supplied with a Federperiti Conformity Guarantee inspection report
* 6750cc V8 engine version
* Mk1 Silver Shadow version
* Italian registration
* Registered with ASI in the registration document
* Original colors and engine
HISTORY / OVERVIEW
Introduced in October 1965, the Silver Shadow represented the greatest technological and stylistic leap ever made by Rolls-Royce: it broke completely with the past by introducing monocoque construction. This design made it possible to build a car that was lower, narrower and lighter than its predecessor, yet paradoxically more spacious inside and with a considerably larger boot. The example offered at auction is originally from the UK but has already been registered in Italy, with ownership-transfer documents. It spent many years in a private collection and is well preserved in its factory colors and details, along with its rare set of manuals.
EXTERIOR
Finished in its original metallic silver with a vinyl roof, the paintwork was restored in the past and is still in good overall condition, with some normal signs of use and age. The chrome details and all trim are original and well maintained. The wheels are original, with their factory hubcaps.
The underbody is in sound, original condition and remains roadworthy; it has been well preserved.
INTERIOR
The interior has been preserved and never restored. It is trimmed in rare English green velvet, including the dashboard and original steering wheel, with all details intact. The genuine wood veneers are complete, and the cabin is as luxurious and refined as one would expect from a top-of-the-range car. A sanitizing and cleaning treatment has just been completed.
MECHANICAL
Mechanically, the car has its original engine, as stated in the registration document. It is operational, starts right away and can be driven on private property; the clutch and gears also work correctly. However, the car has seen little use recently, so a routine general check is recommended before undertaking long journeys or its next roadworthiness inspection.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
