The car is a particularly fine example having lived a largely sheltered life enjoyed by just four previous keepers, and having covered just 42, 000 miles. The Shadow owes much of its preservation to its second owner who cherished it from 1981 until 2008 and used it only occasionally until early 2008, when it was sold by his daughter.
There is a comprehensive history file, which includes many invoices, as well as the car's original book pack and service book. Stamped service documentation is as follows ;
3, 200mls 04/ 01/ 1977
6, 253mls 26/ 02/ 1978
12, 314mls 05/ 07/ 1979
15, 934mls 11/ 06/ 1980
17, 470mls 01/ 10/ 2004
24, 685mls 08/ 02/ 2008
24, 887mls 29/ 03/ 2011
33, 369mls 16/ 04/ 2014
Most recent servicing & maintenance has been carried out by local Rolls Royce specialist Wilton Morgan Engineering.
Originally finished in Regency Bronze, the paintwork was becoming tired and Jay Kay had the car professionally, bare-metal repainted and refurbished under the watchful eye of marque specialists Graeme Hunt at a cost of £22, 567 in June 2015. It now sports a deep coat of Rolls-Royce Black Emerald Metallic, a really head-turning colour particularly when the sun shines. It’s rare to find a Silver Shadow with such sensible mileage and in this condition.
A further comprehensive service & a fresh MOT will be carried out at the time of sale.
