History
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow replaced 1965 the aging Silver Cloud. The Shadow was produced in two series.
Technically the car was properly modernised and it did boast things like integral body, disc brakes, independent suspension and a central hydraulic system with self-levelling suspension licenced by Citroen. The first series was later called Shadow I. In 1977 the Silver Shadow II was launched.
The engines power output was always a well-kept secret. Rolls Royce itself called it adequate. Nowadays we know the 6750ccm engine delivers 200 bhp @ 4500 rpm and 550 torques @ 2500 rpm.
Reaching up to 29’000 examples built, the Silver Shadow was the biggest seller in Rolls Royce’s history so far.

From the reservation to the pickup everything was very well organized and we were able to give our daughter's wedding a special and luxurious glamour with the Silver Shadow. It was really a great thing to be able to enjoy this car for one day. Many thanks!

Booking: Very good and organised, good description of the procedure on the homepage. In Kempttal itself there is no office or counter except for the outside parking spaces. But when I called, someone was at the car immediately. The instruction is a good investment, as the car does not correspond in any way to a modern car (fortunately:-).
About the Silver Shadow: great car, technically and visually top, with a very nice patina. Everything original (except the radio), many quirky peculiarities like the locking system that put a smiley in your face. The steering can be declared as directional, you say where you want to go, but then you steer after the Rolls because it wants it that way. World class, this feeling ! The V8 sounds extremely beautiful, better than any Yank. But the V8 needs to be fed generously with 98 octane. I treated it to every drop, it was simply worth it. All in all, it's one of the best things you can treat yourself to in 2023.
I confess, Emily's bottom delights. The view of a Rolls-Royce driver is not plain, but it is poignant. You sit in a sheltered environment, sealed off from any distracting environmental influences, and let the landscape and the people pass you by. Taking a seat in James is like visiting the clubhouse of a venerable old English society, somewhere between timelessly charming and out of time. And yet James is truly suitable for everyday use, the brakes pull excellently and the acceleration is fully adequate. And the immense capacity of the petrol tank means that you don't have to interrupt your journey at every petrol pump. But only at every second one, because the power and the sound of this engine want to be supplied with plenty of combustible liquid. But the windscreen wipers do what they were built to do, a touch more exquisitely than any other, wiping the windscreen with elegance, and when the air conditioning is set to AUTO, everything is fine. Really everything. It was with a heavy heart that I had to take James back. I would have preferred to keep him and make him my everyday car. James is a Rolls Royce and all the others are just cars.
The service from Rent a Classic was again friendly and first class as usual, everything worked out perfectly.

Thank you for the detailed and very accurate description of the "Rolls Royce" experience!
It's just great to be able to drive such a legendary car. We went on a family trip to eastern Switzerland. When the engine is warm, you have to be careful and give it a little "intermediate throttle", especially at traffic lights and 30 km stretches. In any case, it was a very nice experience.

Great to hear that you enjoyed the ride so much. We will look into the idle throttle right away!
