1976 - Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow French circulation permit Chassis n°SRX23717 Engine n°23717 - Modern technology in a classic style - Original colors, engine and specifications - French copy in a very attractive condition - Many recent works, invoices to support them From the 1976 vintage, the car we present is a Silver Shadow I, from the last year of full production of this series, before the Shadow II appeared in 1977. The manufacturing and archive file of the brand tells us that it was ordered by the French importer "Franco Britannic Automobiles" in January 1976, shipped in the course of the month and invoiced to the latter on January 29, 1976. It was then put on the road for the first time on October 29, 1976, probably after having been assigned as a demonstration vehicle for a few months. In "Brewster Green" with beige leather interior, this original configuration, which it still sports today, goes well with its yellow headlights, in accordance with its delivery specification in France. It would have remained in the hands of its first owner until 1997, before being sold to another in 2016, before the last one, a collector member of the RREC, acquired it in 2017 at an auction. According to the invoice file, the suspension, brakes, and general waterproofing had been overhauled and the exhaust line replaced. Since then, the current owner has carried out numerous maintenance operations and upgrades. The various works have notably concerned the running gear with the replacement of the shock absorbers, silentblocks and a new geometry. Electricity, air conditioning, carburation and some hydraulic elements have also been revised. From an aesthetic point of view, the paint was polished and received a ceramic treatment giving it a very nice shine. The upholstery has been redone, while the trim and fittings have retained an appreciable patina that reflects the age of our English car. After all these interventions, the car, with a little less than 82500km, is as beautiful as it is ready to take the road. Both rare and appreciable, this very nice condition allows a serene use of this queen of the road. Her majesty the Silver Shadow is indeed playing in her own category and a register that belongs to her alone! Please note that due to an administrative error, the serial number indicated on the title is "5RX23717" instead of "SRX23717".
