1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow LWB w/ Divider Glass Formal Sdn VG/Show Cosmetics

1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow LWB Formal Sedan

"Lord Radcliffe" is seeking a new home.

Present 12 year ownership of a two-family Rolls with meticulous maintenance records sparing no expense on this exceedingly rare and beautiful Long Wheelbase Silver Shadow. This particular Silver Shadow was earmarked by Rolls for its coming out party in 1969 at the London Auto Show, owever the original owner declined the request as he was anxious to take delivery & who can blame him. Upon his passing, t was acquired by his son & then onto our stewardship. The RR records indicate no more than 90 were handcrafted with about 10 on the road today. LRX7168 has the desired rear divider glass and is a consistent Show-Winner being displayed at Winterthur, adnor Hunt and other RROC & Concours events on a regular basis & will be much missed.Being unable to drive this magnificent & loved Rolls-Royce as in years past due to health reasons necessitate its sale.

Due to aforementioned reasons & my very limited computer experience, am having the appraiser-Classic Gray©moderate the auction & competently answer all your questions.

~ CONDITION ~

Exterior: 9 yr. old respray in Correct Brewster Green over absolutely straight, ccident & rust free panels showing one pencil-point size ding in the right front door; unable to show in photographs. The paint is as close to Show Quality as you can get & I'm being conservative in my assessment. It has no blemishes, s very smooth w/ a deep lustre. Upon close inspection of less than a foot you will see some slight orange peel on the vertical surfaces below the door glass & the inevitable & common cracking at the lead joints. All glass & brightwork are Very Good/Show (minor dime-sized finish loss on left rear door trim), s are the lenses & badging. COKER American Classic P215/75R15 tires have 98% tread are a less than two years old. Wheel covers are bright, / minor dents showing some pin stripping loss. The Everflex roof is original & fits nicely but has some stitching separation under rear window & a slight bulging on right rear side. This is not a rust area but is believed to be from adhesion loss. The overall roof has some tonal differences & does look like new when detailed w/ a dressing, referably w/ UV protection.

Road Test/Mechanically: See the video. Rides like a Rolls should - extremely smooth & uncannily quiet w/ the overheating being the only, lbeit major issue. Consequently, ither an engine rebuild or replacement is in order.

SUMMARY

Comes w/ Operator's Manual, omplete Set of Service Manuals, a $400.00 value), ool Kit & Jack, ll badges & important service records. A "Show Winner" that will be sold significantly under Book Value. Very few have been maintained this well, articularly the attention paid to the braking & suspension systems; an item often overlooked & therefore rendering a Rolls useless if not maintained. The outstanding cosmetics & absolute solidity speak for themselves & any monies invested in engine work will certainly yield a superior, are & significant LWB for possibly less than acquiring a similar high #3, ow #2 vehicle w/ no "known" issues.

If you have a spare Rolls or other engine to utilize then this is an outstanding one-of-a-kind donor car.
