    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. 😉

    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.

    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!

    • @roddsala4626
      @roddsala4626 2 місяці тому

      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.

    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.
