In 2012, I bought a 1967 Silver Shadow ( early version with Chippendale dashboard ). Nobody knew about this car's past, and certainly not the seller. After many investigations, I have discovered that this particular car is probably the most filmed individual Rolls-Royce in history ! There is a dedicated website with an " English section " : www.shadow1967.com I am still doing researchs about the car , so if you see it in an old film or tv series, please let me know. Many thanks. | ||

Very interesting indeed. What is the condition inside & out of the car now? | ||

Mention of the Shadow appearing in "The Avengers" takes me straight back to my teenage years when Diana Rigg as Emma Peel was the unobtainable dream girl for many of my generation. Emma plus Steed's 4.5 litre Bentley made an irresistible combination as did the sexual tension between them. I always remember their final episode where they appeared together, the TV room at the university college where I was living at the time was packed and we waited with bated breath to see what would happened at the end of the episode; the room erupted when Steed gave Emma a chaste kiss as they departed. All of us would have given everything that was near and dear to us to be in Steed's place!!!!!! Steed's later partners never quite achieved the admiration that Emma Peel received IMHO. | ||

The car is still in a very good condition inside and out after all these years. The company who owned this car also owned John Steed's Bentley 4.5 L, the butcher van from " Dad's Army ", a white Silver Cloud III seen in " on deadly owner " ( Thriller tv series ) and many other vehicles of all sorts. |
