The Silver Shadow was Rolls-Royce’s first monocoque chassis, made from 1965 to 1980, with a 6.2 liter or a 6.7 liter V8.  It got its transmission from General Motors (Turbo Hydramatic 400), and it’s high-pressure hydraulic self-leveling suspension from Citroën (for front and back suspensions until 1969).

Getting some electrical work at Beck’s Electric. It’s pretty common to see an interesting car at this repair shop. I think this was the most expensive RR model.

Powered elegantly by a almost square 6.75 liter OHV engine modeled after 1950s GM V8s, using a three speed Turbo Hydra-matic 350 from GM.
