The Silver Shadow was introduced in 1965 as the first ever monocoque model from Crewe, designed by John Polwhele Blatchley it was a major departure from its predecessor the Silver Cloud, the new Shadow was 3 1⁄2 inches (8.9 cm) narrower and 7 inches (18 cm) shorter than the Silver Cloud, but offered passengers increased space and more luggage capacity Other new features included disc brakes replacing drums, and independent rear suspension instead of the outdated live axle design of previous Rolls models. Powered by a 172 hp (128 kW) 6.2 L V8 the engine was enlarged to 6750cc of 189hp (141 kw) for 1970 Both powerplants were coupled to a General Motors-sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic gearbox, except on pre-1970 right-hand-drive models, which used the same 4-speed automatic gearbox as the Silver Cloud (also sourced from General Motors, the Hydramatic).

 

The Silver Shadow 1 was replaced by the Silver Shadow II for 1977 introducing a number of mechanical changes, externally the bumpers were changed from chrome to alloy and rubber energy absorbing bumpers in line with United States requirements
