A YouTuber was able to save a classic Rolls-Royce from the crusher.
The car was damaged, but it was still salvageable.
So he decided to do the right thing and bring it back to life.
We’re glad he did, because these cars are getting rarer by the minute.

The Rolls-Royce in question
The Rolls-Royce in question is a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
But it’s no ordinary Silver Shadow, it’s a Mulliner Park Ward Drop Head Coupe.
These vehicles are quite rare, and they’re becoming rarer precisely because people are getting rid of them when they become too difficult or expensive to run.
A YouTuber who goes by Curiosity Incorporated found a Silver Shadow Mulliner Park Ward Drop Head Coupe that was about to be ‘killed’ and decided to save it.
It wasn’t easy, because the car had been damaged and left there to rot for ages.
As a result, this Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was in truly terrible shape.
But the YouTuber managed, and now the Rolls-Royce looks amazing and clean.
As good as new.
Rolls-Royce’s naming strategy
A very long list of Rolls-Royce models have a synonym of ‘shadow’ in the name.
Rolls-Royce’s first EV, the one Supercar Blondie herself recently bought, is called the Spectre.
Then there’s the recently refreshed ‘entry-level’ model, the Ghost, and the flagship model, the Phantom.
Rolls-Royce has also used, on several occasions, variations of ‘celestial’ names.
Some of those cars are named after things that are literally celestial, as in in the sky, such as the Silver Cloud or the Dawn.
Then there’s the Rolls-Royce with what is probably the most fascinating name ever, the Silver Seraph, named for a celestial being that, broadly speaking, is basically an angel.
