The Shadow's arrival in 1965 resulted in many firsts for the company, including: unitary construction, disc brakes and independent rear suspension. Though smaller than the Silver Cloud III, it possessed greater space and boasted far more contemporary looks. At launch it was powered by a 172bhp V8 engine of 6,230cc, though this was enlarged to 6,750cc during 1970. The 'magic carpet' ride was achieved courtesy of a system licensed from Citroën.

This low mileage (odometer showing a credible 47,000 miles), righthand drive Shadow I is finished in Regal Red over a contrasting tan leather interior. Currently offered as a non-runner, with some attention and recomissioning work required to the fuel and braking systems, WVO 262G is said to have been driven around Mr. Nudd's property within the last 12 months.

Fitted with after-market headrests, unusual driver's seat / armrest covers and a tachometer, this otherwise highly original early 'Chippendale Dashboard' Shadow retains its original paint and pinstriping, which has been polished through to the primer in some places. Well cherished and garage-stored throughout its life by Mr. Nudd, it formed the centrepiece of this RREC member's collection from its aquisition in November 1986 until his death.

Offered with a small amount of paperwork including old MOT and registration documents, together with some receipts and sundry paperwork dating back to 1976.
