Supplied by Lex Mead to its first owner in 1973 finished in Regal Red with red hide and pleasingly retains its original registration number RLG 1L
Family owned from new until 2009 and clearly very well cared for
Has spent much of its life in storage in the family home in Puerto Banus before a full restoration was decided upon that included a replacement engine block with the mileage at that time being a very low 35, 000
The present recorded mileage reflects the considered ownership at 43, 400 miles therefore just 8, 000 miles since a full engine refurbishment and a total retrim in Bordeaux Hide by an ex-RR trimmer to the very highest of standards, incorporating a discreet sound system
In 2009, the Shadow changed hands and formed part of the well known James Hull Collection where it remained for some years before being sold to Jaguar Land Rover with periods on display, such is the quality, at The Heritage Centre in Gaydon
Moving into private ownership in 2020, meticulous care has continued with the condition remaining outstanding with regular exercise undertaken. The car will be driven to the sale.
