Comments
The fabulous early Shadow on offer here is a multiple concours-winner and has one of the most impressive curated histories we have ever seen, filling six binders. Built at the Crewe works during July 1969 and rolled out as the finished article on 20th July 1969, some 55 years ago and to put that in perspective, it was just nine days after man landed on the moon for the first time. Loxham's of Preston (later Dutton Forshaw) supplied the car on 3rd October 1969 to a Mr Walsh, a local industrialist who made millions from manufacturing dog biscuits. He paid £7,067 for his new Rolls, a princely sum at the time. He was exacting in his requirements and specified it should be finished in Shell Grey over Tudor Grey and furnished with the finest Crimson hides, Mushroom headlining and Maroon carpets. Plain Sundym glass was also ticked on the options list along with an extra driver's vent mirror. Nicknamed 'Henry', Walsh himself kept the car until 1992 and it remained with his family until 1999.
