If you want the best luxury car in the world, it’s either a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. If you’re the sort who enjoys being driven, Rolls-Royce is your port of call with their excellent vehicles such as this 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow from Utah that we have for sale today. The Silver Shadow ran between 1965 and 1980 across two generations as the brand’s full-size saloon and convertible. With 105,000 miles on the clock, this example has seen some use but it’s evident from the photos that it’s been well looked after, the current owner reportedly purchased it from a Ferrari dealership.
Identifiable as no other, a Rolls-Royce is always striking from the first appearance. The iconic ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ hood mascot stands proudly atop the majestic chrome radiator grille, whilst four headlamps stare you down. As it glides by, you get a sense of opulence and charm that’s almost nautical, and as it departs, the clean lines of the rear flanked by the tail lamps and turn indicators leave you in no doubt as to its parentage. This 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow wears all those cues in a brown and tan two-tone paint job with wheel rims sporting chrome hubcaps with a brown accent. Whitewall tires complete the look of elegance and charm. Venture aboard and it’s more elegance and charm with an inviting tan-colored interior that sports wood accents too. Just gaze upon that generous rear space and those seats that you could just fall asleep in, with their stowed footrests in the front seatbacks. In the meantime, the driver gets comprehensive instrumentation upfront and actuates the automatic gearbox via a steering column-mounted lever. This car sports power windows and mirrors, as well as air conditioning to keep all occupants at optimal operating temperature. The sound system has seen a modern upgrade in the shape of an Alpine single-DIN unit with CD player and Bluetooth compatibility as well. Look further down the center console and you can find the original push-button radio remains installed for that added bit of originality.
A Rolls-Royce must glide as smoothly and softly as a cloud, but not appear to strain or struggle. Thus, the manufacturer ensured to fit suitably large displacement V8 engines to its cars, and continues to this day, with V8 and V12 powerplants. This 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is driven by the brand’s long-serving 6.75L L410 V8 that is rated to put out just 189hp and drives the rear wheels via a GM Turbo-Hydramatic THM400 automatic gearbox. Don’t let that low power output fool you, as these engines are more focused on low-end torque for effortless drives. Anyway, this car is not meant to burn rubber and light up dragstrips. Disc brakes and independent rear suspension with hydraulic self-leveling suspension are the stopping and handling innovations that this car came with.

Rolls-Royce is one of the oldest automakers in the world. Established in 1906, the brand represents the pinnacle of luxury, both in the car world and in popular culture. Owning a Rolls-Royce is a dream for many and represents the best luxury car you can buy. Of course, a classic Rolls-Royce is no less appealing; in fact it may bear even more value when you consider that Rolls-Royce didn’t make bucketloads of cars. Take this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II as a prime example. With less than 31,000 miles on the clock, it’s a definite classic that will likely appreciate in value as time goes by. Furthermore, it offers you a chance to experience what pre-digital era luxury motoring was like.
The Rolls Royce Silver Shadow is one of the best-selling Rolls-Royce cars with the largest production volume among all the models. It was introduced after a prolonged ten years of research and development and is a historic revolution for the British brand. The Silver Shadow is the first Rolls-Royce equipped with four independent wheels. It was made to be driven by the owner, unlike the chauffeur-focused models. It was styled by the talented car designer John Polwhele Blatchley, who gave it a slab-sided body design to maximize interior space. What we are offering you here is a 1969 model year Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with 69,000 original miles our for sale in California.
When you think of luxury and pure class, the British come to mind, specifically Rolls-Royce. From building aircraft engines during the World Wars to producing some of the most luxurious and exclusive cars, the British automaker sure conquers what it sets out to do. If you wanted the best in terms of luxury during the 70s, the Rolls-Royce Shadow was the way to go, as an excellent example of the brand’s greatness. With a reported 28,000 miles on the clock, this is one great example and makes for the perfect Sunday cruiser.
Phantom is a name that Rolls-Royce has intermittently used for its cars since 1925. It’s fitting, because a Rolls-Royce is expected to move swiftly yet silently, like a phantom, basically. That trait continues into this 2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom, which hails from the Phantom VII series. This full-size four-door sedan represents the best of luxury motoring that you could get in 2010, and has just 11,603 miles on the odometer. So, if you’re a fan of old-school British luxury, wood veneer and all, but want some modern comforts, this is the car for you.
The onslaught of the SUV is so relentless that even Rolls-Royce had to bow down and make an SUV. Enter the Cullinan, and if you know anything about Rolls-Royce, it’s that they strive to be the best in automotive luxury. Hence, when they released the Cullinan in 2018, they didn’t compromise one bit. In fact, it’s the most luxurious and well-appointed full-size SUV that you can buy today. So, if that sounds like a vehicle that you’d drive daily, we’ve got a 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan for sale right now. With just 2,097 miles on the odometer, it’s barely out of the running-in period!
“In a class of its own” is a phrase that is often used to describe Rolls-Royce automobiles, and in 2009, Rolls-Royce decided to bring that class to a slightly different type of buyer than they usually catered to. The Ghost was released in 2009 to appeal to the younger demographic of wealthy car buyers and to those who were looking for an alternative to a V12 Mercedes S-Class or a Bentley Continental Flying Spur. The Ghost was aimed at buyers who wanted a comfortable limousine to be chauffeured around in but one that they could also drive themselves when they felt like it. It may be based on the BMW L6 platform, but make no mistake, this is not merely a 7 Series in a fancy dress. Both mechanically and cosmetically this is still very characteristically a Rolls-Royce.
