The Shadow Owners' Companion: Maintenance Projects for Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T Enthusiasts

A good book detailing the history of the Rolls Royce silver shadow.

The price of a used Rolls Silver Shadow is now within reach of most working folks. But like all car, the purchase price is only a small part of the cost of ownership. The cost of properly maintaining such a car is still very high. The cost of parts and services is still very very expensive.This book is not a factory manual, but it is more than sufficient to allow the average DIY owner to properly care and maintain his Shadow.Even for those non-wrenching owners, this book will educate them enough to know if your local RR franchise is a dealership or stealer rip off joint.Its a must have for all RR Shadow fans.

I am a reasonably talented amateur mechanic, and a long time car enthusiast/restorer. I was always a bit nervous about buying a Silver Shadow, because I know they are complicated, and very advanced (for their time) automobiles. This book completely explains all of the intricate working of these cars, and more importantly, shows how the home mechanic/enthusiast can take care of most of the regular maintenance, and smaller repairs themselves, rather than having to pay specialists for all of the required work. There are even sections on restoration of woodwork, paintwork, etc. Much more than just a shop manual supplement, this book is absolutely essential for the current owner or anyone contemplating the purchase of one of these Rolls-Royce. It is the best money you will spend, before, during, or after your aquisition of a Silver Shadow.

very good book from owner view, has heaps of tips and bits you don't see in the production workshop manuals, it probably does not cover all eventualities but is a welcome addition to the library.it is well set out, easy to follow and well illustrated, I have used workshop manuals most of my 50 years and even though this book is not exhaustive in details it is very useful to the new owner of the classic lady as I am, anyone will find this book interesting and helpful.well done.
