Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Wedding Car
Take the best that exists and make it better.
We have owned this beautiful Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Wedding Car for over 20 years. Serving our clients faultlessly over that period, the time came to invest in a complete mechanical and cosmetic overhaul. In recent years, Royce Engineering of Betchworth, Surrey have been regularly maintaining this wonderful car. In the last two years Royce have undertaken a huge mechanical overhaul resulting in an even better driving experience. As Sir Henry Royce once quoted, Take the best that exists and make it better.
The current challenging ordeal with Covid 19 has provided an opportunity to undertake the next task, being bodywork restoration. Attached are photographs of recent progress which are exciting for us to see and share in this news post.
Royce Service and Engineering are exceptional in the works they perform, they are dedicated and meticulous in delivering the best result possible ensuring these superb motorcars continue to provide enjoyment to enthusiasts such as ourselves. We will follow up with further progress as it materialises. http://www.rsande.co.uk

Is a car just a car?
Suppose you travel for three-hours in a chauffeur-driven car to an important meeting.
That meeting is with a valuable customer and needs your full attention. What difference could your vehicle possibly make?
In the book ‘Roadcraft, The Essential Police Driver’s Handbook’ there are two paragraphs titled, ‘Fatigue’ and ‘How to combat fatigue’. Fatigue is often known as tiredness, weakness or the inability to function at one’s normal level – something critical if your meeting is important!
In the book, two issues are considered when discussing fatigue: a comfortable posture and noting how noise and vibration cause fatigue. These issues are directly related to a car’s design, seats, noise levels and build quality. These issues are precisely why a chauffeur car should be at least executive class (a size larger than family saloon models).
Any one who has travelled in a high quality executive saloon will tell you it can make a world of difference. The effect it has on your physical and mental state at the end of a journey is considerable! Quite simply, if the meeting is important then so too is your car.
