A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, formerly owned by Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury, is up for sale at RM Sotheby's in the UK. Presumably, the current owner of the car is Ukrainian performer Andrey Danilko.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was produced between 1965 and 1980. The sedan is powered by a 6.75-liter V8 with 192 hp. With. and 3-speed automatic transmission. Salon corresponds to the name - painted in silver. Interior lined with leather and wood. Equipped with air conditioning, electric lifts and cruise control.
The mileage of the car is 100 thousand km. Also, in addition to the cars, there are preserved documents that indicate their former owner.
The performer himself, being the owner of the car, used the services of a driver. It happened that very famous people met as passengers of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. For example, the opera diva Montserrat Caballe.
After the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991, the car was inherited by his sister Kashmir, who subsequently put the car up for auction. The current owner is not listed on the auction house website. However, apparently it is the Ukrainian performer Andrey Danilko, who purchased the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in 2013, but was never able to take it out of the country. Probably, there were difficulties with customs clearance.
Another fact that such a rare lot belongs to Andrey Danilko is that all the proceeds will be transferred to the needs of the Superhumans Center prosthetics and rehabilitation clinic, located in the Lviv region.
Recently it was reported about the sale at the same auction of a unique collection of supercars. The total cost of the cars was estimated at $20 million.
