This is not a MK1 Silver Shadow. It is a Series 2. The Series 1 has visual differences vents below the twin headlamps, chrome bumpers/fenders, chrome door handles, different rear light lenses. I think the Series 1 is visually more attractive. Especially the front with the vents the Series 2 looks bland. There is a difference mechanically between the Series 1 compared to the Series 2. According to Rolls-Royce publications there were over 2 thousand improvements in the Series 2. I agree to restore is far more than the car is worth sadly 🙄😢😪😭. I have a Bentley T11970 which is rare, compared to the Silver Shadow. It is claimed there were 35 thousand produced and only one thousand eight hundred Bentley's. I am told there are only 812 known to be registered in the world. These cars are a joy to drive and a nightmare to own. Money pits. I re- upholstered mine £10,400 or approx $13,000. I have restored my car over 14 years and covered 2,000 miles. I have spent in excess of £68,000 or approx $80,000. Crazy yes I know I am. In need of serious psychiatric help. 😮😊😅😂
A mark one Silver Shadow clearly made for the American market. Sadly looking very tired 😴 and un cared for. Will cost far more than the vehicle is worth, to try and bring it back to Rolls_Royce standards !..
After owning a 4X4 Toyota for a decade the only thing I would do with an old Toyota is scrape it. I have learned my lesson the hard way. Buying a brand new Toyota was a huge mistake. It was a bottomless pit. With all due respect and I have none for Toyota, you are paying for a name that has nothing behind it beside excellent marketing policy. A lot of money for very little vehicle if any at all.
According to the federal law HESCHLAVVO, it is already prohibited in Switzerland to drive combustion engines on mountain passes from 2025. In France, the SCHLABOUBVE regulates that fossil vehicles producing fine dust are banned in all cities from 2025. The BABVVO and Tebbvo laws in Germany will bann any exhaust pollution from 2027 and this will happen in entire EU, also will EU bann tires and brakes due to fine dust.
Damn it, we support the criminal in Moscow. Putin can only be defeated if we implement an immediate energy-saving lockdown. No more private trips. Heating only at night and only one room with light and electricity, you can simply set that at the fuse box....Cities could, for example, switch off every second street light and companies could switch off their neon signs. We can initially limit driving to pure business trips and hospital trips, etc...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop driving now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
