1970 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 1 review from Netherlands
"Semi-affordable luxury and great fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It was very difficult to find a good garage for maintenance, finally found one near Deventer (Netherlands).
The complete fuel system had to be replaced, and the central doorlocking system and electric windows are a nightmare. They either don't work or are about to break down
General comments?
Great car to drive, a total feeling of luxury. See also my photo galleries at:
