52K mile 1974 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow LWB

With Reserve

 

We at Collector Car Canada are pleased to have this partially-wrapped in Matte Black 1974 Rolls-Royce Corniche Saloon Coupe on offer as part of our Rolls-Royce Week, it is available in Montreal.  The term “Saloon” is the preferred term in the United Kingdom for what we here in Canada call a sedan.  It is equipped with the stock 6.75 litre engine and three-speed automatic transmission sending the power to the rear wheels.  This 1974 model comes about midway through a long run, 1965 through 1980.  A substantial motorcar, it weighs over 4,600 lbs and this example is the long wheelbase version – accounting for approximately 15% of production.  Seller has submitted a walk-around and driving video, found just before the photo gallery.

This Rolls is wrapped in Matte Black on horizontal surfaces (bonnet, roof, trunk) and shows a glossy black wrap over the rest, with a black leather interior.  Colour underneath is Silver Mist Metallic Green.  Wheels are 15” and it is further equipped with disc brakes at all four corners, chrome bumpers, power accessories and an AM/FM/CD head unit with USB input.  The SMITHS odometer reads a low 53,000 miles.  Seller is representing the car for the owner.

 

The black exterior also features a matching black trademark Rolls-Royce grille, chrome bumpers, dual headlights and the iconic “Spirit of Ecstasy” hood ornament mounted above the grille.  The owner has treated the car to a monochromatic black look, partially wrapped in modern Matte Black.

 

The 15” wheels are capped with Rolls-Royce full wheel covers emblazoned with the “RR” crest.  Blackwall radials are mounted at all four corners to build on the monochromatic black theme.  The full covers conceal the four-wheel discs and this Rolls is equipped with an independent suspension, with a hydraulic self-leveling system on the rear wheels licensed from Citroën.  Interestingly, the original Silver Shadows were outfitted with the system on all four wheels but the feature was deleted up front in 1969 when Rolls-Royce found that all the work was being done by the aft system.

On the inside, rich leather and wood abound.  Showing wear consistent with age, the black hides are thick and free from tears.  Beyond the seats, door interiors and lower dash are also leather covered.  In addition to the wood trim for hard surfaces, there is also generously appointed chrome throughout the cabin.  Accessories are power-operated.  The stereo has been modernized with a Kenwood AM/FM/CD head unit with USB input.  This Rolls is also equipped with speed control.

Traditional for a British automobile, gauges are by SMITHS.  Behind the two-spoke steering wheel and column-mounted shifter is found instrumentation in the form of a 130-mph / 210 km/h speedometer with odometer and trip odometer incorporated within, fuel gauge and amp-meter.  There are just under 52,000 miles indicated on the SMITHS odometer.

The 6.75 litre engine is constructed primarily of aluminum and features dual carburetors.  It produced 189 horsepower when new.  The original robust three-speed automatic is a TH-400 unit manufactured by General Motors and commissioned during the era by Rolls.  Traditional for its era, this Saloon is a rear-drive unit.  Seller has included underside photos, which present well for a ’74 model.  Please see the in the gallery.
