The Outer Hebrides in a 1968 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

[@TheHorsebox2]

Had one of these, a '74, in that colour. Great memories of the lady out front leading the way. Very special. These days, I content myself with a Series 3 Daimler Double Six. Thanks for a lovely video.

[@paulsehstedt6275]

Lovely trip and inspirering too. Keep on rolling!

[@suitorstu]

Thanks!

[@dogman8436]

Beautiful trip and the music is very nice. I have a 1968 RHD Shadow in the US.

[@suitorstu]

Thanks! Lau are a cracking group to see live if you ever get the chance. Happy motoring in your Shadow too - the early ones are a special lot

[@pesamas0000]

very beautiful trip and very beautifull RollsRoyce and relaxing vacation thankyou

[@gro9465]

Please make more Rolls-Royce videos, show around the car perhaps?

[@axeljacobs9723]

Lovely video! I used to own a blue 68 Shad RHD! Brings back many fond memories! Bought the car in UK, and shipped it to California! Was my first car in 1983! Lovely Chippendale dash!❤️

[@suitorstu]

Thanks! The Chippendale dashes are 👌 I’m sure she had a much nicer life in the dry heat of California than in the damp of the UK…I swear I can see ours rust in front of us if we have her out of the garage long enough…

[@gro9465]

Delightful. I hope to get there myself in my Rolls-Royce soon.

[@jimmymanan5997]

Beautiful video. Looks like the Rolls Royce did an awesome job! 👍

[@waynegilbert9504]

Great views, great car!

[@suitorstu]

Thanks!

[@tigerskys6810]

Wonderful car and scenery. Had a 75 Shadow in Peacock Blue. This inspires me to have another! ps Would like to know more about yours when you have the time for another vid.

[@suitorstu]

Thanks! Enjoyed making this one so hoping to make some more videos of the car in the future

[@TheHorsebox2]

Rolls Royce Peacock Blue was one of the nicest colours ever put on a car.

[@rovermuc]

What a lovely video, thank you for sharing this trip, Shadow I and this landscape ! Amazing !

[@axeljacobs9723]

Hi again! Thanks so much for your reply on my commentary. Lovely car and vlog! Had to see it several times! If you people very decide to sell the RR, please contact me! Regards, Axel❤️

[@philsrowse7266]

Great video id love to drive my 76 shadow1 around there

[@BibtheBoulder]

Rather fortuitous to come across this video. I am thinking of using my Rolls Royce Ghost to tour the Western Isles in 2022, did you have any issues either on the ferry with regards to the size of the car, or any issues on the narrow island roads?

[@suitorstu]

No issues with the ferries but we had booked each one in advance and they knew the length of the car so I'd reccomend that even if it does mean a little more planning at the outset. The width on the singletrack is something to consider with a newer car but wasnt actaully much of an issue but as an early shadow we are only around 1.9m wide and dont have any wingmirrors so the singletrack wasnt too bad. The smaller roads are far less busy even in the height of summer so thankfully we never had to negotiate one in reverse to let something bigger through...

A beautiful piece of investment

[@suitorstu]

Thanks! Maybe not so much of an investment if we keep driving her in the wet though eh?

[@TheHorsebox2]

@@suitorstu The water beading on the bonnet tell me it is well waxed. She's in good hands alright.

[@axeljacobs9723]

If you want to preserve this car, I recommend frequent oil changes and boil radiator out and have thermostat changed! These early cars had a lot of overheating problems!

[@stringer-ik1pc]

Only when they go to America where they have neither the knowhow or sophistication to look after them.

[@suitorstu]

Thanks for that-we’ve done annual oil/filter changes (around 3k intervals) and are on the 78’C ‘stat from Flying Spares so no issues with hot running! Not that we ever get that hot in Scotland as it is anyway…

[@wolfstock6030]

BEAUTIFUL !!! But the Traffic is horrible. Like Londontown. LOL !!! IAnd if you came from the Kontinent REMEBER this: YOU MUST DRIVE LEFT !!! This is not so easy for us and so I think it's better in a "SMALER CAR". Greatings from Cologne / Germany.

[@patricksterling7389]

Approved! 🤗

[@stringer-ik1pc]

You should have shown the sheep the lambswool over rugs, they'd have got out of the way quicker. 👍

[@suitorstu]

I really should say this quietly, but we took them out in favour of some more hardy rubber mats for this trip…we were hoovering sand out of them for weeks as it was, can’t imagine how bad the deep pile would have been! 🤣

[@sherrin130]

Nice ride an early spec Silver Shadow /T Series ,is she an early dash /3 speed spec car ?

[@suitorstu]

Thanks Rob, She's a bit of an inbetween car. Early chippendale dash, 6 1/4l engine and the un-flared wheel arches but the slightly later 3 speed auto box and the revised door cards. The Dash is lovely though, gives the car a much more 'classic' feel.

[@sherrin130]

@@suitorstu same as my T Series which is a '68 best combo IMO Chippendale dash with the 3 speed gearbox .I do around 2,500 miles P.a in mine using her more then my Silver Cloud 111 or 1971 Corniche , such an enjoyable video of a wonderful part of the world , thank you for taking the time to post ..

[@axeljacobs9723]
