I wonder about the Silver Shadow following.

In my eye there seem to be 2 groups: entry level RR buyers and real enthusiasts. Am I right?

I discovered the Silver Shadow as a fantastic car only 3 years ago.

The story behind the John Polwhele Blatchley choice of design: With the rapid decline of the chauffeur, it was aimed at a new type of buyer: the owner-driver.

Imagine, only 50 years ago.

Good to read! Thanks.

What would be a group / network / Silver Shadow club to get connected with?

Thanks. Any views on upgraded / modernized Silver Shadows? In the tasty sense of the word of course.

Pininfarina's one-off 1968 T1 Coupe Speciale.

Looks like a huge FIAT fastback dreaming of FAB1. I like it.

Top one.

I'm looking for the real enthusiasts - is there a community other than the ones mentioned?
