1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow LWB 6.7
Summary:
Who cares about fuel consumption when it's built like this?
Faults:
Nothing: 100% reliable!
Although ... there's a slight blow from the exhaust manifold, which seals itself when it warms up.
General Comments:
Turns heads - especially when told that it's now 31 years old.
The suspension - all original equipment - still holds the road like new, and affords the smoothest ride of all the cars I have owned since I passed my driving test in the same year this car was built.
Although the leather interior is in need of a good clean, feed and recolour, it is still in much better condition than that found in many cars decades younger.
If I could get a decent price for the Grand Cherokee, I would drive the Rolls all year round rather than just in the Summer months!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'm trading my 1971 Toyota Crown for a 1976 RR SilShadow... wonder if I am making a mistake? A RR I can buy anytime (all one needs is $), but a Crown... Try looking for one.
