Personally, much as a Shadow is lovely, I think the Arnage is a better practical ownership proposition. More power, more rewarding driving experience, sleeker looks and should be more rust free and reliable. I drove a Shadow once and I thought it inferior to the Series 1/2/3 Jaguar, apart from the view down the bonnet! I bought an Arnage Red Label this year in nice useable condition for less than £11k. Total expenditure so far: £80 on a part worn Pirelli. Plus quite a lot on fuel (!)
I used to own a 1976 shadow one. What an amazing car .On the look out for another in a year or two ✌ there's nothing else that even comes close to them. Paul you need to get one purchase. 😊😊😊😊
Great example, nice quiet engine which is what you need. Although that noise could be suspension related so need to be sure. A bit of bubbling rust will be growing underneath so that will get worse, if you can cope with that it's a lovely car...
My Grandad had a two colour type in the late seventies. Silver top blue bottom ( the car that is). Fond memories of wafting around Surrey in it mainly for no real reason.
I bought my R-R from Mathewsons a couple of years ago and I get stopped everywhere by people loving it, even if I haven't washed it for a fortnight. If you have the time to spare I'll list the car parks, destinations, and motorway services I've stopped at for a pee and nearly wet myself before I can escape the rubberneckers who want to talk about it. (Nothing to do with me, it's the Royce all the way.) And mine's a Spur of the next SZ generation but a very unostentatious colour so definitely not flash (apart from being a R-R and LWB) . As for cost, it came with an "as and when" shopping list which I budgeted for but still haven't blown out and the only things I've _had_ to do - apart from bog-stock consumables like fuel oils and tyres - was replace the rear suspension spheres but my local garage guy is a Citroen graduate so that was no trouble at all, and very fairly priced. Needs a bit of love and care? Yes no argument but no more than my daily driver half its age. Money pit? No, and I use mine for all my heavy lifting/long-distance work which is substantial.
@@nicnak4475 You buy a car because you like it, not because of the potential opinion of some bellend 'down the pub'. If you value the opinion of 'bloke said down the pub' more than common sense or your own judgement then your critical skills need a total reboot, probably purge and reinstall from scratch.
I may be showing my ignorance here, but removing the hub caps to see if there is anything loose inside might help. Dreams are made of cars like this, makes me wonder what on earth the guy who created it was smoking to come up with something so beautiful and I'm sure owning one is quite addictive.

No not all of us mere mortals. Besides the later Silver Spirit cars are much better. Especially the very rare Silver Spirit mark IV last of line examples. With the standard wheelbase - The best of the very best !...
I've had two. A Shadow 1 and a 2. Lovely, but eye wateringly expensive when they go wrong (and they do) 8-12 mpg max as well. I had mine, well before petrol was £1.50p litre (premium fuel only in these) ... That's about £6.80 every 8-12 miles at today's prices (£60+ per hundred ish miles in fuel alone) Great to drive though.
My dad has owned several Rolls Royces, and Bentleys, total money pits! Steer clear, even nice ones can suddenly cost 8k with a fault from one day to the next,
These were cars designed for owners with champagne budgets, later owned by those with beer budgets, if the car has been owned by a person with only an orange squash budget, run away, fast.
I brought one last year, cost me £10k, had to spend £7k on brakes and suspension to find out the engine was buggered, steer clear guys these cars are money pits I’ll never get over that car.

Why does Paul say Lovlee instead of Lovely, no one else does it's just sounds weird as they were all brought up the same way, other than that he's great as are they all.
Most of them are rusty money pits and there's no class in owning one now, they're of an age when people would stare at one passing by, those days are gone.
Funnily enough I still have people pause while walking to admire my Rolls, (albeit the following model). I feel the new ones tend to Blend in with Range Rovers and the like.

Paul, you have a conflict of interest with this one. I don't think you should bid on this as its in the public domain and you have an advantage with the bidding.
Did he say lovely? Including the lovely wheel arches which have lovely bubbles. Lovely.
A few bubbles ? Don't be so foolish. Like throwing away a vintage Ferrari for a bent bumper.
super x 2, beautiful x 3 and the winner is lovely with 23 😁😁😁

🤔 Oh yes, the joys of ownership of an old classic Rolls_Royce !....
The height of elegance. Simply gorgeous.
Beautiful car's: i absolutely love the RR shadow 2. My favourite.
My wedding car in 1981, lovely car from what I remember...😊
Much better than modern day Rolls.
The later much rearer Silver Seraph is the one to go for. Highly recommend and collectable. Well worth the extra money....
You got that right!👍😊
I THINK HE LIKES IT!
he thinks its lovely
I’ve driven a few Shadow 2’s and Bentley Turbo R’s and they’re lovely to drive. This one looks amazing.
23 'Lovelies' in 8 min 35 secs. 😀
Continued at that frequency, that's 2645 lovely's every day if he is awake for 18 hours. (18,515 a week)

It has the excat same shadow engine fitted, merely empoved. Truth is that the Green label is far superior, and much rearer !..
I had that same sound on a car, it was a snapped suspension spring. It sounded like cutlery being jangled around.

The Shadow 2 was the first automatic car I ever drove, it was a lovely car to drive and be driven in. I was 23 then.
Certainly one of my favourite cars 🎉
The shadow one flared arch model is my personal favourite
Maybe so. But the Shadow II is much better too drive !...
The harsh opening and shutting of the doors annoyed me . A rolls deserves more subtlety!
Class Paul can see you in that 😅
Paul does the best videos by miles there.
You look good in that Paul you need to take it home where it will be loved
Lucky car/owner. 3 ppl doing the video on this one! And test drive
My Grandad had a two colour type in the late seventies. Silver top blue bottom ( the car that is).
Fond memories of wafting around Surrey in it mainly for no real reason.
Friend of mine always fancied one, so he treated himself to quite an old one, drove it to his local pub and noone spoke to him ! so he sold it 😀

Very smart, looks like a really well cared for car. A good Shadow 11 is a lovely driving car.
Looks very nice. The squint badge on the boot spoils it.
Need more light on the video to see the interior?
Utterly divine ❤️
LUVERLY, needs that rear badge putting on straight though. :)
Surely wasn’t like that from new?
Rear Trim on top of Rear Bumper needs Adjusting,Too...Sticking up at the Ends.......
Meanwhile back at the range at 8.16 seconds there's a DBS and DB4 saddled up in the corral .......woof ! But that Shadow is an absolute bargain !(!
Yes but warning ⚠ That price is just the down payment.......

Good comment. That's the reality.

Sit in the boot with it running
See if it lift's up
And then get off quickly
See if it settles back down
its a lovely lovely jingle
You'll need a deep garage and deeper pockets for this 1980 Roller.
They were never designed and built for poor people, then and now !...

How do we get involved in these auctions. Really curious.
Never mentioned the picnic tables ☺️

Loverly car. Prefer the cornice though. ❤
The Queen wanted to give me all her Rolls, Jags and Range Rovers but her family became too jealous
In my mind, the Shadow II is THE Royce to have.
Corniche. But many antiques very much more prized than the relatively recent ones.
It’s the nerd dangler Paul l had the same problem with my old Shadow
We want that
Excuse me Paul, it's *Everflex* not _vinyl roof,_ this is a Royce we're talking about not a Ford or British Leyland.🙄
MOT website comes up as a Morris Marina!! 🙈
DVLA says it's a Grey Rolls Royce, MOT expires 2/4/25, Tax expires 1/7/25.
@@GreenmanXIV Thanks - Odd that the MOT site can't deliver the same result! The car should be exempt tax as it's pre '84
So in a nutshell then , a car that’s very expensive to repair with a rattle that you can’t really find . Irresistible.
All lovely level probably get it with your pocket money

It’s only money though, isn’t it 🤷🏻♂️ if you want one. Buy one
Built to impress others!
A stone stuck in the tread causing the clicking
Smoky exhaust 😊
Only on start -up. Which is quite normal for a car of this age.....
Was it the clock ticking ? 😬😬😬
