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
Great car to drive, a total feeling of luxury. See also my photo galleries at:

Remember, this guy's car is in the Netherlands, where gas costs an arm, a leg and at least one frontal lobe per tank. My Shadow gets 13 mpg (U.S.) around town and 17 mpg on the highway (as long as I stay under 80 mph). It seems to me that that is pretty good for a 6.7 litre V-8 with 5000 pounds to haul.
In fact, isn't it a good deal more fuel efficient than almost any larger Chrysler/Dodge/GM/import SUV made today? And, let me tell you, I'd much rather be driving the Rolls!
I own a 75 lwb shadow1,it sat in a barn for 5 years, i put fresh gas and drove the car for 6 months without any problems, when you buy a Rolls-Royce; you buy reliability that is for sure. i tought a porsche 911 was the most reliable car until I trade it for this rolls. the fuel price today (december 2003) is so cheap $0.63 a liter, I rather drive the rolls than a beetle. thank you!
