Thanks for checking out the 1972 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Long Wheelbase. This car is RR collector owned in Southern CA, and previously used as transport for Napa vineyard. They had a small collection of cars for airport runs and taking guests to different vineyards. This was the preferred vehicle for celebrities visiting the winery. This Rolls has always been garaged, pampered, and well loved.The current owner has several Rolls Royce’s and has decided to part ways with this car. He has over $21k in receipts during his 5-year ownership as seen in the gallery. Maintenance and repairs were carried out by XKs Motorsport in San Luis Obispo, a highly accredited English automobile repair shop. XKs also serviced the car for previous owner, but we do not have those records at this time. More details about maintenence and repairs later in the description, including new transmission with 24k mile warranty installed in 2022.

The car is mostly original and in excellent shape. The body is laser straight and the paint shows as new. Tiny blemishes can be seen in the gallery. All the trim is in excellent shape. The gaps and shut lines are perfect, the door operate with ease. The vinyl top shows as new, no cuts or tears, or even any signs of wear. All the glass and rubber is in excellent shape. This car has a mirror like finish and is an absolute pleasure to wipe down. Inside the car is like a time capsule. All the finishes are in excellent shape, as to be expected in a 36k mile car. Everything is in proper working order. The windows go up and down quickly.All lights and instruments are in good working order, including recently refreshed Air Conditioning. The windshield wipers are a bit lazy to return to home, but this car has never been driven in the rain. The driver seat position controls can take a bit of wiggling to operate but all motors working fine, and the seat can be fully adjusted.

Mechanically she has always been kept up to date. She runs and drives like a dream. Easy cold starts even after sitting a week. No smoke, no stutter or hesitation. Shift points are ultra-smooth, and the road manners are exactly what you would expect for a Long Wheelbase Rolls. Cloud like feel. The car is simply beautiful and its thoroughly enjoyed from the driver seat as well as the rear seat. She glides on the freeway and is whisper quiet inside. When on the lift I noticed one of the rubber dust covers on the front end is showing signs of fatigue. I believe it only a dust cover and is not intended to house any sort of grease or fluid.Here is a summary of the repairs performed going back to 2018:

March 2023: AC recharge, Steering Box adjustment, Brake fluid and hoses, Oil pressure light wiring fixed, sending unit and gauge replaced as well as oil pressure switch. $2698

April 2022: Transmission rebuilt with 2-year 24k warranty from Costa Mesa Transmission $3021

March 2020: New Tires $1000

February 2019: New Master Cylinder, Lower radiator hose, brake hoses, accumulators, sway bar bushings, brake cables, cigar lighter unit, door light switches, power steering lines, brake pressure switch, upper control arm bushings and brackets, alignment and transmission oil cooler hose. $13,268

December 2018: Complete brake overhaul, Spark Plugs, Carb rebuild $2250

All in all, she is a well sorted 1972 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow LWB with low mileage and excellent service history. I have described the car to the best of my ability using the information I have, and I provided a comprehensive photo and video gallery. The car is not perfect as its more than 50 years old, and local inspection is encouraged and any claims in the description are to the best of my knowledge. If you have questions, please ASK!
