It was literally owned by a little old lady who could no longer drive it, and it sat for a couple years before I came across it. The engine ran a little rough at first, and the power steering pump leaked, but there have been no problems since.
I'm used to a Beetle diesel as my daily driver, so 13mpg on premium really hurts!
I bought this as a fun summer car, and it's turned into a really fun daily driver! I really dread putting it away for the winter.
Even though it is 31 years old, and has some wear around the edges, the engine is very powerful and the ride is very smooth.
But 31 years later, luxury is at a completely new level. A Honda has almost all the "luxury" features that this car does at almost the same price.
I've done all the maintenance myself, and prices on parts have been surprisingly reasonable. I would turn it over to a professional for anything more than a basic tune-up. The brakes a especially tricky.
Equipment is not luxury, luxury is not a quantitative matter, and I think Rolls Royces remain unsurpassed on this point even nowadays.
I have a Rolls Royce. It is a 1972 Silver Shadow and has only 48K miles. It is indeed a luxury car and I am very lucky to have it. But I do need the garage space it occupies. Thanks, Rusty York, Greensburg, Indiana.
Y would like to know what the quantity of r12 for my silver shadow´s a.c.?
