Keeping the Silver Shadow & Bentley T Series Alive
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and Bentley T Series were among the most innovative vehicles ever built at Crewe. They were the first to use monocoque construction—with front and rear subframes instead of a traditional chassis—along with independent rear suspension, automatic self-levelling, and disc brakes all around. Beautifully finished and fully equipped, these models set a new standard for luxury motoring.
A New Generation of Enthusiasts
Between 1965 and 1980, just over 40,000 cars were produced, with the final model leaving the Crewe factory more than four decades ago. Today, Silver Shadows and Bentley Ts are enjoying a revival. As affordable rolling restoration projects, they’re attracting a new wave of owners and helping grow an already passionate community.
Supporting Your Restoration Journey
At Flying Spares, we’re proud to support enthusiasts and restorers with the parts they need to keep these iconic cars on the road. Whether you’re fully restoring your car or just keeping it “wafting along,” we’re here to help, with everything from rare mechanical parts to reconditioned trim and electrical components.
We’ve made it our mission to preserve original engineering, and we take that responsibility seriously Recycle To Preserve Keeping Classics On The Road
The Power of Recycling
Many of the cars we acquire are sold as rolling restorations. Others, which are beyond economical repair, are carefully dismantled so we can recover rare, discontinued parts that would otherwise be lost.
By salvaging just one wrecked Rolls-Royce or Bentley, we can keep six others on the road.
We believe every car—regardless of condition—is a piece of motoring history. Around 95% of the parts we remove can be recycled or reconditioned, and the rest is responsibly disposed of.
What Happens to a Salvaged Part?
Every part we recover is inspected and restored to a high standard:
-
Radiators and hydraulic units are leak tested.
-
Rusty components (e.g., bumper irons) are sandblasted, aqua blasted, and protected with stone guard.
-
Brass and aluminium parts are machine-polished to their original shine.
-
Wheels are balanced, tested, and refinished—steel wheels from the 1950s–80s are acid-dipped and powder-coated.
-
No longer manufactured parts are given a second life—often, we’re the only source for them.
Our in-house Technical Services Division reconditions a wide range of units, including:
-
Brake and steering hydraulics
-
Electric window and wiper motors
-
Starters, alternators, and dynamos
