Het verhaal achter deze...
- When things don't happen right away, remember it takes six months to build a Rolls Royce; 13 hours to build a Toyota -
A model that played an important role in the success of Rolls Royce; the Silver Shadow. The silver shadow followed the silver cloud (silver could) with a completely new design. The Rolls was first shown in Paris in 1965. It was eventually sold in various forms until 1985. It was immensely popular from the launch. So popular, that there was a waiting list of no less than two years to pick out a new one from the factory. This also ensured that the two-year-old models still fetched just as much as they were sold new.
Our Cool Classic is from the latest generation; the Silver Shadow II. This was recognizable by its different bumpers, thicker grille, fog lamps and the road holding was greatly improved thanks to a different front wheel suspension and better steering mechanism. It's great to be able to go through the bends with such luxury and comfort!
We dare to say that we have the most beautiful original Dutch delivered Silver Shadow II in our Clubhouse. The Rolls was completely restored to its original condition between 2014 and 2017, with a great deal of attention to (original) details. In addition to the mint condition of the Silver Shadow II, she has all the documentation, including the 'new car order' and original purchase invoice (!!). In other words, as we like to see it with our Cool Classics! Who can we make happy with this British icon? Charles, drive the car in front, will you?
