1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Zack K Vehicle story
The 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow is a true masterpiece of classic elegance. As the proud third owner, I’ve given this iconic vehicle a fresh lease on life, with its exterior newly painted in a pristine white finish that exudes timeless sophistication. The interior has been completely reimagined, featuring luxurious all-white leather seats complemented by tasteful tan trim, creating a perfect blend of classic charm and modern refinement. This beautifully restored Silver Shadow is a testament to my passion for preserving automotive heritage.
Engine
This Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is powered by a 6.75L (6750cc) V8 engine, featuring twin SU carburetors (2x1bbl). While Rolls-Royce did not officially publish horsepower figures, estimates place it around 200-220 hp, prioritizing smooth, effortless torque over raw power. This engine, paired with a refined automatic transmission, delivers the signature quiet and luxurious ride Rolls-Royce is known for.
Wheels and tires
Wheels:
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is equipped with 15-inch steel wheels, typically adorned with polished chrome hubcaps featuring the iconic Rolls-Royce emblem. The design complements the car’s elegant styling while ensuring durability and a smooth ride.
Tires:
Originally, the Silver Shadow was fitted with whitewall radial or bias-ply tires, designed to provide a cushioned and refined driving experience. The tire choice enhances the car’s effortless handling and road comfort, in keeping with Rolls-Royce’s commitment to luxury.
Brakes
Brakes:
The Silver Shadow features a dual-circuit hydraulic braking system with four-wheel disc brakes, ensuring reliable stopping power. Rolls-Royce incorporated a hydraulic pressure-assisted system, derived from Citroën technology, to provide smooth and consistent braking performance. This advanced system, combined with self-leveling suspension, enhances safety and ride quality.
