Depreciation Insight
Unlike contemporary cars, classic Lambourgs and Bentleys often experience a slower depreciation rate once they exceed the 20‑year mark. However, the first couple of years after purchase can be pivotal. Generally, the used Rolls Royce Silver Shadow price will typically lose 15‑20% of its initial value during the first year after acquisition, assuming normal wear and tear. Subsequent years often see a steadier decline of 5‑10% per annum for the next few cycles, depending on the degree of originality and historical significance.
The factor that most influences depreciation for the 1977 Silver Shadow is historical authenticity—original components, factory documentation, and low mileage can secure a premium.
