The Spanish geography holds innumerable treasures for those who decide to explore it, although sometimes these exceed what is imaginable. In this case, a has appeared Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow semi abandoned in Asturias, in a location where it has been standing for at least 15 years. Curiously, and perhaps because it is such a high-quality model, it is preserved under a canvas, so the effects of the passage of time have been mitigated.
And is that Imagine walking through the heart of Asturias and arriving at a house that seems half abandoned. An invitation for the most curious and experienced. The same thing happened to Paul (Pabloasturies in X), who dedicates himself to touring the principality, exploring and photographing all its corners. Furthermore, he has a preference for uninhabited places, as we can see in his account in X.
On this occasion, he did not have to go far, because The discovery occurred near his usual home. What Pablo could not imagine is that what he would discover on the outside of an ancient building, no less than five cars abandoned to their fate.
A ROLLS-ROYCE ABANDONED IN ASTURIAS!
Outside the house, A total of five cars appeared who have been there outdoors for a minimum of 15 years. It has not emerged what models these were, beyond a Renault Express with plate Oviedo registered in 1993. It is half abandoned next to a tree line and, despite the amount of time it has been there, it does not look bad at all.
Although the real surprise came later, as Pablo ran into a car hidden under a tarp next to the house. His surprise was enormous when, upon removing it, discovered that it was a Rolls-Royce, specifically a Silver Shadow II. In this case and being covered, the state of conservation is quite good, surprisingly good, if we think about the humid climate of Asturias. Even the tires look correct. With a good wash, the car could look almost used.
It sports the English license plate XXVXXXV, which tells us that it was registered in 1979, that is, just one year before the model stopped being manufactured. It must be remembered that the Silver Shadows were assembled between 1965 and 1980, a period in which more than 30.000 units were produced. It is the most popular Rolls model, although Shadow IIs were only produced between 1977 and 1980, with only 8.425 copies sold. In short, an amazing discovery that invites us to always go with our eyes wide open, you never know where a Rolls-Royce semi abandoned.
