I remember the first time I drove one, it was in the early 90's. I'm not sure of the cars date of manufacturer or it's model name, but it looked very similar to what you're driving here, only difference being the color & it was LHD as I am in the US. We had been making some repairs to it at the shop I worked at & I remember thinking that the car was built more like a truck than a car, IMO, everything under the car was heavy duty. I also remember thinking that everything about it was way different than the USA idea of the luxury automobile. I would like to see you one day maybe compare a 70s or 80s RR to a Bentley of the same era. Great video Steph

'At 70mph the loudest thing you can hear is the ticking of the dashboard clock.' Another RR advertising quote. OK, it would get them in trouble with the ASA today but what a wonderful way to get the message across that this car is QUIET. I have long wanted a Shadow and this video has only increased my yearning. They are just so affordable but I don't have a spare garage. I wonder how well it would stand up to being parked outside all year round. I'd hate to inflict that on such a gorgeous old lady. One day…

Great review of a gorgeous car. Cameron does it proud with the way he takes care of it. The leather, by the way, is Connelly hides. They are from Belgium, as barbed wire was banned there, resulting in fewer scars and blemishes in the hides. A side note about the automatic gearbox. For a number of years, GM supplied both the 4 speed Hydramatic and later 3 speed Turbohydramatic 400 transmissions. Later, Rolls-Royce began making the gearboxes under license. They were mystified at first, as the early units did not work well after they moved production in house. Turns out that the machinists at Rolls-Royce were too careful. They had to force themselves to do a more rough and ready job of machining, and let the various pieces wear into each other during break in. Once they did that, the gearboxes proved strong and durable, well able to handle the torque of that glorious 6¾ litre engine. Suspension is almost identical to the Citroën DS cars. Not sure about Shadows, but many standard model saloons had bodies built entirely at Pressed Steel, the same manufacturer as Rover used for body shells. The shells were then transported to Crew for finish and final assembly. As a final note, well done, Cameron. The wind split on the bonnet is right way round. Too many have the point at the front rather than the rear as yours is.

Hello, Steph. New to the channel, and I just wanted to share a quick story about a fine British chap I used to work with here in the United States that owned this very car. His name was Alan, and he even wore a Bowler Cap like the one Winston Churchill wore. When Alan moved to the states, He brought his father's Rolls Royce with him. One day, I came in to work and saw Alan's Rolls with the front bumper missing. I asked him and he told me he bumped into another car, and had the bumper shipped back to England to be properly fixed. It looked so strange without the bumper. Great review of this old Beauty. Instantly Recognizable profile and a truly one-of-a-kind Brand, both then and today.

I love my 1970 Shadow, the car rides and drives like no other. One effortlessly floats along the highway with all the power one requires and smooth braking from discs all round. Mine was one of the last made by the original Rolls-Royce company, with a Rolls-Royce engine. Nowadays it's a BMW one. Tax exempt and classic insurance less than £150 fully comp. The car is approximately 17ft long and six wide, but square ended, so easy to judge length. Don't buy cheap, it'll cost you a lot to put right! Mine is still excellent after nearly 40 years. As Sir Henry Royce said, 'The quality will remain long after the price is forgotten'. He was right...

The dashboard layout is a little bit higgeldy piggeldy, in my opinion. But the amazing thing about thee cars was how unbelievably neat the design was, compared with modern RRs. That is because their target market was British good taste rather than Arab Oil wealth. Today, customers from all such "luxury" cars (German, Japanese, and even Korean) offer shiny baubles to their customers, rather than restrained good taste. As for the slowness of the electric seats, I guess that the motors are traditional - before the discovery that much stronger magnets can be made from Neodymium, allowing all such electrical gubbins to be smaller and more powerful as used in today's vehicles.

Not all post war Rolls Royce’s and Bentley’s are automatic. And there are very few parts that are interchangeable from other cars. These cars are good for decades once they’re fixed, but be wary about the price of fixing one of these. Shadows and T’s have some of the most complex braking systems ever put on a car. Even doing the work yourself the parts costs can be incredibly high. And do not plan on buying cheap aftermarket parts for any of it. They will not last.

Very nice video it was setup quite well. I'm not sure in Europe but the reverse snobbery is rather odd here. People with no use for one, whether utility or off road will buy a pickup truck or sport utility. Spending for a full size up to 70k-100k (pickup-suv) if not more with rims making it virtually useless as one. Yet they will look down on luxury car owners as snobs. Even when their truck cost considerably more due to capabilities that will not be used. While the luxury car is always playing it's role and as shown here need not be brand new to do so.

Hi Steph, I've gone to a Dutch Rolls-Royce fansite and these are the prices, new; www.rrsilvershadow.com/EAank/Prijsnw.htm So, £12,453 or more or less twelve and a half thousand. Part of this though was the soaring inflation of the mid-70s; if you'd bought one a year earlier (April 1973) it would have been only £10,403, so about two grand less.

Quite a few Long term RR Owners were disparaging when this car was Launched..it was said to be' Modern and Vulgar' I call it very good and nicer to drive than most of it's Forerunners.

Tony Cox I don't know, the silver cloud was a magnificent looking car, the last of the proper rolls royces as far as I am concerned. The lines were just so beautiful, stately yet elegant. Everything since has been a bit boxy by comparison.

@@spencerwilton5831 You have good taste. I have owned a 1964 Silver Cloud III since 1982 and have had no serious problems with it. The worst was a cylinder head gasket. The Cloud is the last magnificent Rolls Royce, but the Shadow is easier to drive. I had a Shadow II and before that a Bentley version before the Cloud. All far superior to the modern range.
