Hand-crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, the Silver Shadow Two-Door Saloon was introduced in 1966. The work of in-house stylist W. G. Allen, the saloon-cum-coupe boasted wonderfully sleek lines. Blending speed with refinement in a way that few rivals could match, it was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission. Trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets, the model was every bit as luxurious as it was expensive (an Aston Martin DB6 was relatively cheap by comparison). Despite being in production for five years, just 571 MPW Two-Door Saloons are thought to have been made.
Supplied new in April 1969 by HR Owen Ltd, Chassis CRH 5471 was delivered to M. F. Felton of E. Felton & Partners Ltd, Sandwich, Kent. The car has resided around this area throughout its life. The car was initially registered as 'AGH 201G' but the first owner fitted registration number 'SLB 2' which stayed with the car throughout his ownership. The vendor has owned the car since 2019 and the V5C Registration Document records just one previous keeper. Upon purchase, the seller set about recommissioning the car on a 'no expense spared' basis and there are receipts present for £35, 828. 46 of mechanical maintenance in that period with a number of specialists. The mileage is believed genuine at just over 54, 000 miles as the receipts for the car appear to match up with this.
The vendor has advised that mechanically, the car is very much up to scratch and he is confident in its usability. The leatherwork appears original and in overall good condition with one small 1cm tear on the drivers' seat present. The carpets are in fantastic order, both in the cabin and in the boot. The bodywork is in overall good condition and a good coating of underseal has been applied underneath the car. There are however, small blemishes in the paintwork associated with age that a prospective purchaser may wish to deal with, but the overall finish is good.
