My son who is from Leyland, Lancashire in the UK, has one of these beautiful cars. It is a 1973 model in Caribbean Blue. Absolutely magnificent vehicle. He lives in Beverly Hills , California. I went to see him in March and we drove down Rodeo Drive. Plenty of attention as expected!

I have a 1979 Silver Shadow 11, bought it in 2009 and - like John - I had a lot of study to do so that I could maintain it economically. Flushing the brake/hydraulic fluid biannually and replacing all the flexi hydraulic hoses every 8 years is very important. It rides beautifully and the more it's driven the better it goes.

That’s brilliant Larry. Giving so much of your time to the caretaking of the Silver Shadow surely reaps rewards!
