Random Shot: Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

[Kevin Lee]

Saw these two Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with Hong Kong number plate registrations parked in front of an industrial shop lot in USJ 1. These cars were the ultra luxuries of the days and still very desired in these days. The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow came with a 6.2 litre V8 engine (between 1965 to 1970) and later updated to a 6.75 litre V8 (between 1970-1980). Back then, if the road tax in the 70s or 80s were at $20,000 and above, one could only think of the super rich owning a car like this and running around. Even owning one of these today would incredibly difficult considering the road tax. This is still one of the cars that only the ultra rich can own and people like us could only admire. In total only 25,142 were sold between 1965 to 1980, making this one of the rarest super luxuries you can own. Check out the photos

Bro, i think these belong to a VIP in sunway who restores cars. I also saw several classic mustangs, including a Mach 1, rolls and an older version of Merc G class. They all carry foreign plates. Will try to sneak some photos when I drive past it again ;)

Most of them do not have a valid road tax. The mechanic dont have time to spend on those 2 because he have got even more bentley, rolls royce n jaguar waiting for him. Sometime u can even spot a lambo inside there... I guess the Sifu is a "crouching tiger, hidden dragon"..... the workshop dont even have a signboard... lol. Low profile...
