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.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing the iconic two-tone paint job that made Rolls-Royces stand out, this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is decked in black and silver. The car sports the much-desired Spirit of Ecstasy mascot proudly placed atop the radiator grille, itself an imposing chrome affair. Flanking the radiator grille are double headlamps, yet again, a symbol of opulence from the period. Of course, a Rolls-Royce must glide as silently as a ghost; hence, you’ll only spot the twin rear tailpipes if you look hard. The interior of this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is as luxurious as you’d expect. There’s woodgrain on the dashboard, door inners, and center console. The seats themselves are coated in plush gray leather. Chrome accents add some shininess here and there. Meanwhile, you’ve got a massive array of creature comforts. Power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks are commonplace now but were still options for many cars in the Seventies. Ditto bi-level climate control with air conditioning and a radio cassette player from Pioneer. You’ll even find power-adjustable front seats. However, the most prominent feature is the red carpeting and rug that lie within the car’s footwells. Even the spacious trunk is decked out with a matching red mat.
Engine
This 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II comes with the famed 6.75L V8, known as the Six-And-Three-Quarter engine. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic gearbox. Rolls-Royce used to be famously coy about revealing power figures, so we can’t say how much the large engine makes. What we can say is, you’ll enjoy a sublime ride, due to the car’s independent front and rear suspension, which includes hydraulic self-leveling.
There’s a very special kind of collector who’d want a classic Rolls-Royce. These cars aren’t for everybody, after all. Representing the finest British automotive luxury for over a hundred years, a Rolls-Royce is not just a car, but a responsibility. So, when you take on this 1975 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, it’s a role that requires commitment. After all, the car has been well looked after in its 57,837 miles of travel. You must continue that meticulous maintenance and tender care, because every drive in it is special. After you’ve driven or traveled in a Rolls-Royce, nothing else can match up.

Rolls-Royce is the gold standard of luxury motoring. Nothing says you’ve made it like the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, and the countless admiring looks you’ll get on the road. Our featured car is a 1972 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow — a car that was created in an era when engineering excellence and old-world craftsmanship were wrapped in the old-world charm of this storied British marque. Finished in Caribbean Blue, this Silver Shadow appears to be an all-original, well-preserved luxury saloon, and it's located in Denver, Colorado, and shows 91,937 miles on the clock.
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.
