Cut the damn music!

I’d just like to say, the Morgan you have is such a special car, a hard top would make a difference. I’ve owned E Type Jaguars from new, 6 Porsches , & many Mercedes cars, Morgan ownership for the last 20 years. I feel so privileged to have had the journey I’ve been on. I hope I never have to part with my Morgan, even when something drops off, I ❤ the car. I went to BP to fill up on Friday, even after 15 years with this car, I was delayed talking to others who wanted to speak with me & look at the car.

Great video and certainly doesn’t come across as showing off. Good to see you enjoying the fruits of your hard work 👍

I saw (BYR344T ) on 1/11/24: in east London.UK) i was driving my silverbirch Rover p5b coupé) it was dark but i could see it was that beautiful light metallic blue. I was sitting in traffic on opposite side of the road , with my window down, i actually heard it's throaty exhaust note. Which you dont always notice. The silver shadow is my favourite roll's id like a late 70's example.

Cannot hear you with the music

Spoked wire wheels, Please!

(13:40) _I_ much prefer to be able to look back over my bank statement and say: 'That IS nice!!' What an effin' waste of money!

What a car. SO much character! Being a cyclist, I would definitely all the headroom you get in this one. I like the 3-wheeled Moggies, too, with their V-twin engines. Treasure all your experiences; every day is a gift with these cars. Aloha.

As you don't seem to get any modern 'luxuries' and all Morgans are just stunning then an older one makes just as much sense and it feels ok to store it over winter. I remember the first BM I sat in was just the same hard seats but they looked hard as well , I have a very comy saab , Thanks for the video I'm slightly less envious now.

Hmm what a Dialekt Non englisch speakers Like me wondering is this englisch 😂🎉

Bad video!!! In your kitchen??? RR????????

I have spent £30,000 on my 1973 2 door Mulliner Park Ward Saloon ive owned it 7 years tjat includes some paintwork

She's a beauty. My girlfriend's dad was a surgeon and had a new one. He also had a Ford Cortina for popping to the shops.

why the change to a period incorrect number plate, if was a 50s car and meant to be then may make sense but a 70s car would have been yellow. I see people do this even on 80s cars will they start doing this on 2024 cars in a few years

A strange thing is that a car inspired to Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the nice 1975 Cadillac Seville , the first "compact" Cadillac and the competitor of successful German Mercedes and BMW luxury berlina or sedan in american market in the 70s, the Cadillac Seville was a great and the only success against the european sedan in USA, but the strange was that the overall layout, the design was not inspired by Audi BMW Mercedes, but by Rolls-Royce of the period in general proportions etc. And it's difficult say which car : Cadillac or Rolls-Royce was most beautiful (excuse my poor english, I'm Italian hobbyist designer)

That is one gorgeous looking Rolls Royce. With the way you have looked after it the next owner is going to get a prestige vehicle with no legacy issues to fettle. Good luck with the sale from Perth Au.

Glad you enjoyed the car . Enjoyed watching your ownership experience

The blue livery is sensational.

I used to own a 1976 silver shadow 😊 these cars need to be used every week. I used mine to just to go to the golf ⛳ club 4 times a week. Kept it ticking over nicely 😊Good luck 🤞 with your next adventure 😊

I'm glad you lived your dream with this Silver Shadow. The first Rolls-Royce I ever sat in was a 1974 model in this SAME colour! I still can't forget the smell of the leather... Hoping you enjoy more journeys in the future!

Hello, Thanks for the upload! So sorry to hear that you sold the lovely blue RR! Could you possibly recommend a reasonably priced, and reliable Ro-Ro shipping company for cars. (Roll on roll off service from Southampton? I would be very grateful. I‘m located in California and am considering Exporting a Shadow from the UK. Thanks and regards, Axel

I installed a car lift and my last service cost 300 euros for the engineer and 200 or so for the Flying Spares service package. I have an 88 Silver Spirit. The cars are very basic but lovely and should not cost a fortune to own.

My son who lives in Beverly Hills has a 1973 Silver Shadow in Caribbean Blue. It is in pristine condition but presents occasionally, with a few problems. He is an absolutely devoted to its upkeep and cannot bear the thought of losing it. His beautiful Rosemary Rolls Royce will be repaired , returned and remain a legend forever.

35k is top end for a shadow 2 Id expect one of the very best for that price. Love the colour!

Are they car tents got special gas inside or dehumidified or is it just to keep dust off, and how mach are they?

Yes i know this is a beautifully made Rolls_Royce car 🚙. But you have to remember, these Silver Shadows are now over 40 years old !. The last ones coming off the production line in 1980. So there is always going to be on going issues with there reliability. It will always come down to how much time and money 💵 you are prepared to spend on any car , to keep it on the road ?.

Just found the channel i had a shadow 2 from new in 1979 loved every second of ownership did crazy miles in 4 years of owning around 130 k sold now retired thinking as a classic am definatley looking at ghost motors sevenoaks cheers for heads up

I would definitively keep it ! What are your tires pls ?

How much are you looking to get or the Rolls Royce if I may ask.

Good choice of Morgan! Join the club, plenty of events to go to and enjoy fun with other owners. Plus cheaper to run than your Rolls.

A majestic , legendary car whose resplendent beauty and comfort will never fade. My son has a 1973 model in Caribbean blue. He’s from Leyland in Lancashire and lives in Beverly Hills.

It is possible to remove the battery with the car running back it into the tent put some nice wood block props for the car to squat on when the Hydraulics bleed down and a pair in the front raise it up to prevent the tires from Flat spotting then we switch off the motor you'll not be able to restart it until you carry a battery back to it and put it back in the car. That will prevent it from being stolen or anything going wrong with that battery. My two Silver Shadows both 1973 cars in America I fitted with Harvey Bailey engineering suspensions that truly made the difference in the car and the stainless exhaust with no Pollution Control. I do miss them I sold my two Shadows due to the high maintenance costs. In America a Rolls-Royce cost twice as much to maintain as it does in Britain. So I had the resort to almost a dozen American Cars 3 Chevrolets and 9 Cadillacs to replace my Shadows with. But I did Keep My Silver Spirit. That's a beautiful color on yours The Blue is very nice I had a white and a gray shadow both 1973's one early one late. They were not the colors I wanted. But I sold them to let someone else support them and took a humongous loss. The American cars can sit for a decade and are easy to recommission.

My son , from Leyland in Lancashire UK, lives in Beverly Hills. He owns a magnificent Caribbean Blue , 1973 Silver Shadow which is his pride and joy. His car is placed into storage every winter in secure controlled premises. He is loathe to get it wet or leave it anywhere where he cannot see it. He treats her with the greatest respect and consideration because she is loved. Her name is Rosemary Rolls Royce. A legend on wheels.

Great Video... for a great car... do you have to keep putting fresh air into the chamber from time to time?

More update please - one of the best RR SS II I have seen for a long time. Greetings from a German RR addict.

Hi Rowebb are you planning on using the car this year? Would love another update! Great content 👍

Lovely looking motor you should definitely do a couple of weddings it would look the part on any wedding day

Where is this vehicle up for sale

Thoroughly enjoying your videos, very much appreciated. Watching Harry’s Garage sparked my interest in Shadows, I’m just at the start of my journey researching into buying one so your films have been very informative. Coming from the same neck of the woods as you, and having a couple of older cars, you’re doing exactly the right thing not using them over the winter. Anyone advising otherwise clearly doesn’t appreciate the environment we live in. Thanks again, and please continue with the blogs.

Bob, thank you for sharing the journey of you and the Rolls Royce with us. One of the videos appeared in my feed (who knows why - maybe the YT algorithm has pigeon-holed me as discerning) and I just had to watch all of the RR series. I love your understated style and appreciate the dry sense of humour too. There are some things you just have to get out of your system and as a car lover this must be on the list of many of a certain age. Best of luck in all that you do, and that at least you get to do some memorable road trips in the Rolls before you part company. PS: I have just checked your AT advert - I think you are setting a low bar, there are buyers, not many, but three will come along all together like the proverbial double decker busses.😉

beautiful rr you purchased the right model and year! drive the hell out of it!! you only live once!!

You're in a country where you can get the car fixed by professional mechanics if you're in America by the time you get a professional mechanic who can fix it they rob you blind. I had to sell my two Silver Shadows that's right two of them and kept my third Rolls-Royce to Silver Spirit and it's been sitting for 12 years because of the Year 2008 that nearly put me in the poor house acting actually it did but I managed to keep the car. I replaced it with a dozen other American cars that I can get parts for and I can repair myself. But if you live in England have a Rolls Royce it's so easy to get them service and repaired got competitive rates unlike once you step off the British into another country.

That accent 😊

Hi beautiful car! Who helped you buy it please? You said a rolls royce mechanic?

Very smart Shadow, enjoy your car.

I think the 'Shadows' had a very long production by RR, with the 6.75 litre V8 engine coupled to the GM 3 speed 'Hydramatic' transmission also fitted to many GM vehicles in the USA, and luxury GM in Australia. From what you are presenting, it would be clear that at this time, your Shadow would be at its peak in motoring value. Only minor faults have been seen, and I would say much to do with how they are driven. In Australia I have a Toyota Camry which gets used every day, and has done 320,000km, where at the 200,000km point, timing belt, oil seals, coolant pump, radiator were replaced at about the value of the car ($A2,500.00). Since then, only minor work necessary...

Happy to see that you decided to keep the old girl, use her as much as you can and continue to enjoy her.

Isn't a B plate newer than the age of the car

Nothing smells like a roller. I've only been in a few for a ride (of various vintages) but my family has had a load of vaguely functioning classic cars of a much lesser brand over the years and they just smell like old plastic. Except for old Rovers. They smell like a roller but different. It's probably the leather they use. I have no proof of that.
