1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow - Long Wheel Base
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow "LWB" 1971 Very rare and desirable bespoked
Long Wheel Base ("LWB") in stunning show condition.
This is a stunningly presenting, fully restored and excellent condition Silver Shadow Long Wheel Base sedan. Finished in the very regal combination of black over burgundy with rich ochre-tan leather hides contrasted with black piping and matching carpets. It has a craftsman hand-painted single fine line to the waistlines finished in gold. The colour combination is quintessentially "Rolls-Royce" and hall-marks the tradition of those housed in the Royal Mews for Buckingham Palace. A truly splendid presenting example showing only some 23,400 miles.
Rolls-Royce Long Wheel Base ("LWB") sedans represent only 15% of all Silver Shadows made. They are 4" longer in the rear seat compartment offering considerably greater leg room for rear seat passengers. The LWBs are easily identified by the smaller rear "opera" window compared to the full-size rear glass on standard sedans and the standard fitment Everflex top.
This example has been in the hands of the right owners all its life having been care-taken in the last 15 years by a small but conscientious car collector and enthusiast who restored it to his personal taste and desires, whilst ensuring everything operated correctly and to factory specifications. All work was done very much on a "no expense spared" basis. The car has been minimally used and simply admired amongst an impressive collection of a range of cars.
Before the most recent owner having the opportunity meeting us, he had another highly regarded facility attend to a bare metal respray and the fitment of a rather unique heavy-grain vinyl top. The repaint was a superb job and included all new exterior rubbers and seals. $35,000 was spent on the exterior restoration and the high quality of the work is indisputable.
