I have a Bentley T1 1970. Masons black, Magnolia pipped black, black carpets, twin magnolia coachlines. L.P.G., electronic ignition, upgraded lights (light bright), white band tyres, stainless exhaust, uprated braking system. These cars are lovely to drive commands a certain presence wherever they go. The down side is they are a constant money pit. I have spent in excess of £60 k. In restoration costs of parts & labour and a respray.
Known as a Silver Shadow series 1a , has flared arches to accommodate larger tyres. Still has nice chrome features including bumpers . The series 2 had larger rubber bumpers plus a front spoiler. This spoiler was fitted later after purchase
Okay, for starters there's no such model as a Silver Shadow ONE, it was simply called a Silver Shadow. That air dam is added on, not factory issue for this model, (maybe for the shadow 11 though), at around 2:32, the crack in the bodywork under the windscreen is surprisingly quite normal as I've judged these cars at our Concourse D'Elegance, it's a fault in the manufacturing process (Mr. Royce would not let it out of the factory if he was still alive!!), same on the other side at 4:42, still a very nicely preserved and presented Rolls Royce. Thank you for sharing, take care and all the very best.
Same with the Phantom1 David, it was known new as the ' new Phantom ' but obviously now referred to as the P1 .By the way , it wasn't ' Mr Royce, Sir Henry if you please ' .Also ' concours ' not ' concourse '. !.
@@Roger.Coleman1949 Roger, you are correct on every point, how the hell I omitted these points is beyond me so seriously, many thanks for your response, I truly appreciate it. Take care and all the very best.
I have a question about the cracks on below windscreen corners and dried rubber. Are we to expect water collection and even ingress followed by rust? The Jaguar/Daimler suffers from shrunken rubber rear window and front seals, followed by rust and I think I’ve seen Mercedes of the era similarly.
@@phillipchapman169 Phillip, firstly please accept my apologies for the delayed reply, I'm now cleaning up my old correspondence. Re the cracks on the Rolls Royce, I'm not really 100% aware of any water leakage around that area of the windscreen but if you are fortunate enough to own this model Rolls Royce and notice cracks around this area of the car, I would not hesitate on having it checked and if necessary, repaired appropriately - just to be on the safe side. Hope this helps and happy motoring. Take care.
It used to be that you needed a “GB” sticker when you drove in Europe, it’s “UK” these days. Rolls drivers (not surprisingly) weren’t all that keen on plastic stickers so used a chrome version.
The reason they are not worth much money 💵 today is . Because they made so many of this model. Which puts off most serious collectors of Rolls_Royce vehicles. Better to go for a Silver Seraph, very rare and highly collectable !...
What a lovely old roller still prefer these to the modern one's 😊❤

If you say you have a silver shadow, people ask one or two, so I call mine a shadow one.👍 But yes it's just a shadow.

The Silver Shadow is nice in two tones colour, the Silver Spirit no.
👍👍
About 12 to 15 grand maybe Nice car.
Pěkné,ale nejlepší byl BentleyturboR 1989
What is the giant "GB" on the boot/trunk? This is the second car I've seen with them.
Country's emblem, used to be displayed with pride, but not any more sadly. Especoally polished GB badges a thing of the past.

Lovely cars really, but worth nothing, nobody wants them

@@alancrisp1582 yes very true, and (somewhat overplayed) fear of running costs
Was a USA Spec car so may not be rotten and full of filler ???
