I purchased the car in January 2002 as a replacement for a white Rolls-Royce. Most brides these days realise that a white coloured car serves a POOR backdrop for a wedding dress which is in variably white, cream or very light in appearance. She was delivered to Jack Barclay's  on the 3 September 1979 and has a very small number of owners.. This classic car is presented in Light  Blue, Caribbean Blue to be precise ..... very romantic and very much in keeping with wedding occasions. She has only covered 8,000 miles in the last  11 years. Her condition is outstanding. The wood inside is immaculate and the back seat ( or should I say Settee....it is so roomy inside ! ) has hardly been used.

This design of car was started in 1965 . She possesses a 6.75  litre engine and consumes a gallon of petrol every 14 miles. Naturally she has a 3 speed gearbox based on a G M design, can reach 60 m.p.h. in 10.6 seconds and has a top speed of 116 m.p.h. Her overall length is approximately seventeen foot six and she weighs 4,752 lbs. The mascot is worth somewhere in the region of £175.00 . Even a replacement ashtray is an expensive item at £150.00. Every piece of wood in the car has on the back of it the body number so that a correct piece can be located as a replacement. The grill, like all Rolls Royce grills even today, is handmade. The craftsman who made it has stamped his initials on the back. There were some 67,174 Shadow’s made and were offered for sale at £43,669.
