Rolls-Royce Limited was a renowned British car and, from 1914 on, aero-engine manufacturing company founded by Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce on 15 March 1906 as the result of a partnership formed in 1904.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a luxury car that was produced in Great Britain in various forms from 1965 to 1980. It was the first Rolls-Royce to use a monocoque chassis, a response to concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation.
Initially, the model was planned to be called "Silver Mist",[3] a natural progression from its predecessor Silver Cloud. The name was changed to "Silver Shadow" after realizing that "mist" is the German word for manure, rubbish, or dirt.
The Shadow featured a 172 hp (128 kW) 6.2 L V8 from 1965 to 1969, and a 189 hp (141 kW) 6.75 L V8 from 1970 to 1980. Both powerplants were coupled to a General Motors-sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 transmission, except on pre-1970 right-hand-drive models, which used the same 4-speed automatic gearbox as the Silver Cloud (also sourced from GM).

The car's most innovative feature was a high-pressure hydraulic system licensed from Citroën, with dual-circuit braking and hydraulic self-levelling suspension. At first, both the front and rear of the car were controlled by the leveling system; the front levelling was deleted in 1969 as it had been determined that the rear levelling did almost all the work. Rolls-Royce achieved a high degree of ride quality with this arrangement. 1904--06 10 hp 1905--05 15 hp 1905--08 20 hp 1905--06 30 hp 1905--06 V-8 1906--25 40/50 Silver Ghost 1922--29 Twenty 1925--29 40/50 Phantom 1929--36 20/25 1929--35 Phantom II 1936--38 25/30 1936--39 Phantom III 1938--39 Wraith 1946--59 Silver Wraith 1949--55 Silver Dawn 1950--56 Phantom IV 1955--65 Silver Cloud 1959--68 Phantom V 1968--92 Phantom VI 1965--80 Silver Shadow 1980--98 Silver Spirit 1998--2002 Silver Seraph
The next Rolls-Royce model, the Rolls-Royce Phantom was built by Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
