Hi Vim,
The hydraulic system is the big thing with the Silver Shadows, if it's shot it's VERY expensive to put right. But good cars are still very affordable, and a lot of car for the money - everything you've read about them driving in near silence is true!
Have you read the Buying Guide we published? It was in the December 2004 issue - prices may have changed but the basic advice should still apply. You should be able to get a back issue by calling 0845 121 4000. Any problems, let me know...
