I Bought One So You Don't Have To | Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Review - Beards n Cars

For many car fans and people with dreams of financial success in general, few things so succinctly signal reaching 'that' level than owning your very own Rolls Royce. Well over a century of being THE name in automotive luxury for most people worldwide has to mean something right?...

And unfortunately by far the most affordable entry virtually worldwide into RR ownership (for a reason) is a prime example of the latter - the Silver Shadow.

The reality is though, for every good decision on these cars, 3 absolutely dumb ones crop up as well. And I for one should certainly know - I own one. A 1973 Silver Shadow Mk1 in particular. So on this occasion we are doing something a bit different for a Beards 'n Cars review.
