PHOTOGRAPH - I took this photograph at a Classic Car Rally in Brighton 2019
HISTORY - The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow was a replacement to the Silver Cloud and was the first monocoque chassis/body for the company. It was smaller than the Silver Cloud but through better design offered the same interior space and luxury. It was produced from 1965 to 1980 and overall had a production run of 30,000. The Mk2 had a V8 6.75litre engine, up from 6.2litre, rack and pinion steering and the addition of a spoiler under the front bumper I'm not absolutely sure which year this vehicle was but believe it to be either 1977 or 1978.
With thanks to a gentleman owner in Sussex, my confidence that this was a Mk2 has been dented as the bumpers appear to be from a Mk1 but the front appears to be a Mk2 - I'm not absolutely sure which mark this is as the registration plate is not recognised by the DVLA.
