Looks like a Mercury Monarch with Mercury Marquis Brougham hubcaps.
@@daniellatimer1876 indeed, styling cues were taken from Mercury especially the Marquis Brougham
@@roddsala4626 , my dad had a 1978 Mercury Marquis Brougham with those hubcaps on it.
That’s really sweet!❤❤❤❤❤
What a stunningly beautiful P6 LTD! I'm from California, so love seeing these cars up close like this.
The front end says "fine Corinthian leather"
This has a passing resemblance to - and would've been - a nice AMC Ambassador! The front end of this would've been much better than that hideous "coffin nose" front end adopted by AMC Ambassadors/Matadors in '74!
Boy, the front of the car really looks like a Chrysler Cordoba of 1975........
Fabulous car, great colours too. Was that filmed in Australia? There was a time when anyone in Australia who was anyone had one of these - from the Prime Minister down, these things ruled the road. Remarkable effort by Ford Australia to create a large luxury cruiser using mostly Falcon and Fairlane parts.
@@ashleygordon3467 indeed! This was/is filmed in country side Chicago, USA
I enjoy seeing cars that were not available for sale in the USA. My personal favorite is the P5 version of the Australian LTD, but this one stands out and must be quite a conversation piece for many people trying to figure out what it is.
All of your videos should start with “Hello Possums!” 😂
My deepest thanks from all of us in Australia Rodd!! What a delicious, sumptuous and exquisite example of one of my very favourite Ford vehicles anywhere on the globe. As you know, I owned a P5, so the LTD by Ford (AU) is dear to my heart. Magnificent! Her colour combination is very close to my lovely Shadow - again, delectable colourway :)
Rodd you should have used 1970s Porno music in this video.
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like an AMC Ambassador and a Chrysler Cordoba had a baby.
@@Htfsik 🤣
Beautiful specimen, Rodd. I like the Lincoln style light switches on the rear doors... I always thought that was the perfect place for reading light controls... with Cadillacs, you have to reach behind and over your shoulder... very awkward. The placement of the power seat controls on the console hints of Rolls-Royce, but the lack of power door locks surprised me. I also get a kick out of the flow through ventilation ports on either side of the rear window. Very nice. Unique. However, for perfect '70s luxury, it needs the quintessential coach/opera lamps. 😉
I love the color. Spectacular. I love Magnolia leather too. I don’t like the blue carpet, that should have been black or charcoal.
Thank you for pointning out the early features and such.
Still très très chic 👌
It appears to have the hubcaps from a Mercury Grand Marquis from the era. Were those standard issue on that car or were they put on it afterwards? I love the seats and don't believe even Lincoln offered the buckets and floor console. Nice car
@@RAS4915 the hubcaps look very similar to the Mercury Grand Marquis and I’m sure copied but; no, the LTD had 14” whereas the Grand Marquis were 15”. These are the original fitment cap.
I am interest in the car next to it. That looks like the Australian Ford LTD . Hopefully there can be a video on that vehicle.
@@RAS4915 thank you. There is a video on the LTD. have a look thru my list of videos.

@@roddsala4626 Thank you for sending that .Rare sight in the USA.
We had this model luved it!
Thank you Rod for sharing this video with us. For a car guy like myself, I appreciate seeing cars that are rare and not seen every day. It's a really appreciated!
Possibly one of the most elegant vehicles on the road
Magnificent example of
You have a vast selection of Rolls-Royce and Bentleys all the time on display. I would love to see your selection one day to buy.
1967 was a transition year for R-R. For the LHD cars, it was the first year that R-R used an American-built TH-400 3-speed automatic transmission. On the 1967 RHD cars, they used the tried and true GM American-designed, R-R built old Hydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission. Things to look out for is fluid seeping out of the weep holes on the sides of the engine block. If it is coolant, then the upper cylinder "O" rings are leaking. A sealing additive like Bars Leak may remedy that. If it is oil that is leaking then that is the lower cylinder "O" rings which are leaking. It is better to have a higher mileage car which has been driven regularly than a lower mileage cars which has spent most of it's life sitting in a garage. Another thing to look out for is the hydraulic fluid system. This system operates the brakes and suspension leveling systems. This system was brake fluid operated and depended on a fluid such as Castrol LMA. Brake fluid itself is corrosive and very flammable. If other than the Castrol LMA fluid has been used or not changed regularly, watch out. You will be in a heap of trouble. There are 2 high-pressure camshaft-driven hydraulic pumps in the chest cover of the engine. There are 2 pressure-multiplier manifolds mounted on the side of the engine block. Each has an accumulator attached to it and these need frequent service, so make sure you know someone who can maintain these before you take a car on like this.
What a beauty…and then the comments incl the great voice!
I always look forward to your videos Rodd. I thought I knew quite about about Rolls-Royce cars, but every time I see one of your videos I learn something new. Always interesting to learn how to tell early Shadows apart from "newer" ones! One of these days looking forward to hopefully visiting your showroom. Also - love that color on that sold Silver Seraph behind it!
1800TU is the Rolls Royce factory registration
This is fabulous
Love seeing a Silver Shadow with picnic tables
They were a standard fitment on the early cars, from @ 1969 they became an optional extra. I have the original sales invoice for my 1975 Bentley T1 and the picnic tabes were a £100 extra, the total price with 15% discount was £12,900 which was a huge amount of money then.
Tres chic
A beautiful example of an early car. Exceptional standard of restoration.
Exquisite Rodd, your showrooms are divine, surpassed only by these gorgeous ladies. This example is particularly delicious!
Lovely. Rodd Sala is superb.
Have a 2006 Arnage T 29,000 original miles , Looking for a Shadow or Sereph instead. Prefer RR
The interior door handle is so beatiful. And the RHD wipers. This should be a rare car indeed.
The interior of the early Shadow is considered by most enthusiasts to be the most attractive. The introduction of US federal safety standards in 1969 changed several things both internally and externally. The US was RR's biggest market.
I love these made before the Germans took over.
The old cars have lots of character and charm.
😄😀 Simply gorgeous classic Rolls_Royce Silver Shadow. Eat your heart out B.M.W !.......
The reality is that without BMW and its vast resources, Rolls Royce would not have survived. I like the Shadow and Bentley T, which is why I have one.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 The company has lost its soul.
Lovely motor is that a press car with that 1800TU plate
That is a press car number plate, a particularly well known one, RR had a few TU plates. I have seen Rod use this plate on numerous cars in his showroom. I doubt very much if was ever a press car. It is an exceptionally nice early Shadow, someone has spent a lot of money restoring it to this condition.
Very low mileage is not good on these cars that are over 40 years old now. They are engineered to be driven regularly & not sitting idle collecting dust in a museum. The low mileage is a red flag to those familiar with the mark & the beginning of a nightmare of very expensive issues that crop up as a result of not being driven. Don’t let the pristine exterior seduce you to the mechanical gremlins that lie hidden underneath!
Low mileage on a Silver Shadow will NOT damage anything. What is does mean, all major and minor services must be done and there would be many things to attend to. The good thing about a hand-built motor car is EVERYTHING is serviceable. Every single car sold by Park-Ward Motors undergoes a process at time of sale called “Predelivery Commissioning” which covers everything mechanical and operational (windows, seats, climate control) and this Wraith II was no exception. She went on to her next owner providing a lifetime of driving enjoyment.
Pristine example!!!
Ive heard of these cars being Bespoke but this is just insane. The fact that the original owner was so versed in the RR experience that he wanted the RR seats in a Bentley motorcar is just mind blowing. The provenance to these cars sometimes mean more to me than the car itself. I'm surprised that he ordered it in British Racing Green being an RL and Rolls Royce seats. I thought he might pick a more subtle color from the RR pallet. Like a Mulberry or Dark blue perhaps?? Wonderful car nonetheless.
I know this video is over 8 years old but i wanted to say that i wish you would have provided some commentary on that Bentley Mulsanne two tone at the beginning and middle of the video. The Mulsanne's don't get a lot of love and are so overlooked. And to see one in Two-tone paint is quite rare. Everyone I've ever seen has been all one color.
What years did the Corniche IV run from? What what year to what year?
Corniche IV (1992-1995)
Currently advertised on Bring A Trailer. Auction ends 22 May 2024
OUFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Black on black like this...Must be very hot under the sun. Look nice but really not my cup of tea like the British would say.
As your cars always are, that is beautiful! What I never understood was why people order convertibles with black interiors? They must have never lived in the south! Just 'sayin.
How about a video of that Silver Cloud to the right of this Corniche?
Has Rodd lost his voice ? 😂
