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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.

The Ghost has always occupied an interesting place in the Rolls-Royce lineup: less formal than the Phantom, but still every bit a proper Rolls-Royce in the way it delivers effortless power, craftsmanship, and presence. This 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost leans heavily into that character with just 6,005 miles and a particularly well-coordinated Bespoke specification. Midnight Sapphire paint is paired with a Charles Blue cabin, while Navy Blue monograms, piping, stitching, and steering wheel trim continue the blue theme throughout the interior. More importantly, this is not simply a color-driven build. Bespoke Interior Module Editing, Paldao veneer, veneered steering wheel spokes, picnic tables, lambswool footmats, a Starlight Headliner, and Rolls-Royce Premium Bespoke Audio give it the sort of individual specification enthusiasts and collectors tend to appreciate. It is a Ghost that feels properly commissioned rather than merely ordered from a catalog.
Few automobiles make an entrance quite like a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and this 2020 example delivers the kind of presence, craftsmanship, and rear-seat luxury that has made the Phantom one of the world’s benchmark ultra-luxury sedans. Showing approximately 24,000 miles, this example is finished in English White over an Arctic White interior, with black contrast seat piping adding just enough definition to the cabin. The specification is appropriately lavish, with features such as the Rear Theatre Configuration, Rolls-Royce Bespoke Audio System, The Gallery glass fascia, Dark Burr Walnut trim, 22-inch fully polished forged alloy wheels, and RR monograms on all headrests. It is the sort of car designed not simply to get you somewhere, but to make every mile feel like an occasion.
The 2017 Rolls-Royce Wraith represents the ultimate expression of Rolls-Royce’s grand touring philosophy, combining effortless V12 performance with bespoke craftsmanship and unmistakable presence. Built as the marque’s most powerful production model at the time, the Wraith blends a dramatic fastback silhouette with the handcrafted luxury expected from Goodwood. Finished in English White over a Creme Light interior, this example features an extensive collection of bespoke appointments, including the highly desirable Starlight Headliner, a signature Rolls-Royce option that recreates a hand-crafted celestial night sky through hundreds of individually placed fiber-optic lights. Showing 50,562 miles, this Wraith is further distinguished by RR monogrammed headrests, Lambswool floormats, Piano Black Veneer, Bespoke Audio, and 21-inch 7-Spoke Alloy Wheels.
