Parts for Bentley and Rolls-Royce (1965 - 1980)
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow (1965 - 1980)
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was one of the brand’s most successful models and marked the first use of a monocoque chassis in Rolls-Royce history.
Equipped with a 6.2L V8 engine, and later a 6.75L V8, the Silver Shadow/T delivered unmatched driving comfort. Hydropneumatic suspension & braking systems, along with an advanced chassis featuring independent front and rear subframes, ensured a smooth and safe ride.
Technical improvements:
- First Rolls-Royce equipped with disc brakes, significantly improving braking performance.
- Dual-circuit braking system with hydropneumatic support for added safety.
- Self-leveling suspension system based on Citroën technology, later limited to the rear axle.
- Improved engine cooling via more efficient radiators and fans.
- Enhanced power steering in the Silver Shadow II for more precise control.
Submodels:
- Silver Shadow I (1965 - 1977) – Technically and luxuriously groundbreaking.
- Silver Shadow I LWB (1969 - 1977) – Long Wheelbase version for added comfort.
- Silver Shadow II (1977 - 1980) – Upgraded with improved steering gear.
Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II (1977 - 1980)
The Silver Wraith II was the extended and more exclusive version of the Silver Shadow II, offering increased space and luxury for rear passengers. Often used as a chauffeur-driven limousine, it featured enhanced insulation and premium interior finishes.
Technical improvements:
- Increased length for more rear legroom.
- Reinforced suspension for an even smoother ride.
- Advanced air conditioning system for superior climate control.
Rolls-Royce Corniche (1971 - 1980)
The Corniche was the coupé and convertible version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, featuring a lavish interior and timeless elegance. This hand-built model offered the ultimate in luxury driving, whether with the top down or closed.
Rolls-Royce Camargue (1975 - 1986)
An exclusive grand tourer designed by Pininfarina. The Rolls-Royce Camargue was praised for its avant-garde design and was one of the most expensive cars in the world at the time.
Technical improvements:
- First Rolls-Royce with fully automatic climate control.
- Increased compression ratio for improved performance.
Iconic Bentley Models (1965 - 1980)
Bentley T-Series (1965 -1980)
The Bentley T1 and T2 were technically identical to the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow but featured subtle styling differences and a more refined, sporty driving experience. Bentley enthusiasts appreciated these models for their understated luxury and superior performance.
Submodellen:
- Bentley T1 (1965 - 1977) – The first Bentley with a monocoque chassis.
- Bentley T1 LWB (1969 - 1977) – Extended wheelbase for added comfort.
- Bentley T2 (1977 - 1980) – Upgraded with modernized steering and advanced braking technology.
- Bentley T2 LWB (1977 - 1980) – Long wheelbase version of the Bentley T2 for additional luxury.
