The Appeal

'The best car in the world!' - that's what the headlines boasted when the Silver Shadow first hit the market. Based upon its impressive technical spec, luxurious cabins, distinguished styling and advanced suspension, one can see why. Even ten years later, the Shadow still felt like it was ruling the luxury zeitgeist.

This fine example perfectly captures what made The Shadow so successful. With a luxuriant brown-on-beige colour scheme, it's a timeless and comfortable offering - with a solid structure and a well-maintained cabin proudly on offer.

If you've ever wanted to get behind the wheel of a truly palatial classic, this is a great opportunity.
