Hand-crafted by Mulliner Park Ward, the Silver Shadow Two-Door Saloon was introduced in 1966. The work of in-house stylist W.G. Allen, the saloon-cum-coupe boasted wonderfully sleek lines. Blending speed with refinement in a way that few rivals could match, it was powered by a 6230cc OHV V8 engine allied to automatic transmission. Trimmed with a superlative mix of sumptuous leather hides, rich wood veneers and deep lambswool carpets, the model was every bit as luxurious as it was expensive (an Aston Martin DB6 or Ferrari 365GT 2+2 was relatively cheap by comparison). Despite being in production for five years, just 571 MPW Two-Door Saloons are thought to have been made (369 RHD / 202 LHD).

Previously registered as ’31 DAN’ and ‘SHK 4K’, chassis CRH3731 had acquired its current ‘EGU 406H’ number plate by the time that S. Barrow Esq bought it from marque specialist Ghost Motor Works Ltd for £41,050 on September 23^rd 2010 (part exchanging a sister car in the process). Immediately treated to a paintwork refresh and new stereo at a cost of £10,786.50, Mr Barrow thereafter entrusted the Coupe’s maintenance and improvement to Jack Barclay Ltd with whom he spent more than £33,000 including attention to the air-conditioning, ride height control valve and seat motors etc. Briefly belonging to famous Rolls-Royce and Bentley dealers Frank Dale & Stepson, the Silver Shadow Two-Door was purchased by its current registered keeper on March 10^th 2014. The past twelve years have seen ‘EGU 406H’ looked after by DEW Car Services (£3,713.05), Sargeants of Goudhurst (£4,522.18) and the renowned P&A Wood (£30,871.85) with the latter previously valuing it at £60,000.

Although twin SU carburettors sit atop the 6230cc V8 engine, their role has been supplanted by a Classic Fuel Injection system installed at a cost of £3,886.59. Passing a MOT test on April 7^th 2026 at an indicated 97,072 miles with ‘no advisories’, the Rolls-Royce has nevertheless just been treated to a new hydraulic pump and replacement rear spheres by Shadow Services at a cost of £2,398.95. Thus, the past sixteen years and 14,000 miles have seen approximately £90,000 spent on the Coupe. Finished in rich Peaccock Blue Metallic with Dark Blue-piped Magnolia leather upholstery, it remains a decidedly impressive motorcar. Indeed, we doubt that many of its surviving siblings have had as much lavished on them. Worthy of close inspection, this stunning Silver Shadow Two-Door is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, tool kit and MOT certificate valid until April 2027.
