Overview
Following in the manufacturer's tradition of building luxury
vehicles, the standard wheelbase Silver Shadow measured 224 inches
(5,700 mm), 4,700 lb (2,100 kg) and had a book price of £6,557.in the first year of production.
The Silver Shadow was produced from 1965 to 1976, and the Silver Shadow II from 1977 to 1980.
Naming
Initially, the model was planned to be called "Silver Mist", a natural progression from its predecessor Silver Cloud. The name was changed to "Silver Shadow" after realizing that "Mist" is the German word for manure, rubbish, or dirt.
Design and engineering
he design was a major departure from its predecessor, the Silver
Cloud; although several styling cues from the Silver Cloud were modified
and preserved, as the automobile had sold well. The John Polwhele Blatchley design was the firm's first single bow
model. More than 50% of its predecessor had been sold on the domestic
market where, by the standards of much of Europe and most of North
America, roads were narrow and crowded. The original Shadow was 3 1⁄2 inches (8.9 cm) narrower and 7 inches (18 cm) shorter than the car it replaced,
but nevertheless managed to offer increased passenger and luggage space
thanks to more efficient packaging made possible by unitary ("monocoque") construction.
Aside from a more modern appearance and construction, the Silver Shadow introduced many new features such as disc rather than drum brakes, and independent rear suspension, rather than the outdated live axle design of previous cars.
1972 Silver Shadow, interior view
The Shadow featured a 172 hp (128 kW) 6.2 L V8 from 1965 to 1969, and a 189 hp (141 kW) 6.75 L V8 from 1970 to 1980. Both powerplants were coupled to a General Motors-sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, except on pre-1970 right-hand-drive models, which used the same 4-speed automatic gearbox as the Silver Cloud (also sourced from General Motors).
The car's most innovative feature was a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroën, with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension.
At first, both the front and rear of the car were controlled by the
leveling system; the front levelling was deleted in 1969 as it had been
determined that the rear levelling did almost all the work. Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride quality with this arrangement.
