Description:

This beautiful and very rare first year production of the Shadow Coupe is truly beautiful and absolutely a pleasure to drive.The kind comments and total admiration that I receive when I am out cruising is unparalleled...As I understand it, the Shadow Coupe was renamed the Corniche in 1971.The story I was given was that it had belonged to a wealthy woman who ordered it new and waited nearly one year for it to be built to her specifications.She lived in the Northeast and did not care for the winters so she would have her chauffeur drive her each year in the Coupe to South Florida, Miami Beach to be more accurate. (there is still a window sticker that boasts the name of a very affluent area and condo) She held this car until her death in the 1990's when her son then took the vehicle to his Dealership and displayed this treasure in his showroom for nearly 20 years, then sold to the person I bought it from last year.She runs amazingly well and fires up every time.I had the brakes reworked and the A/C repaired. The windows all work well, the drivers window goes only down half way, but still functional.The power seats only work in a few positions as well.The original interior is absolutely fantastic. The wood veneers are so very well preserved.The Connolly hides also remain incredibly soft and supple and have been lightly reconditioned. I do have a set of matching lambswool overlay floor mats pictured in the trunk that fit the car.It also has an aftermarket Blaupunkt cassette radio that works as well, likely installed in the 1980's. I have all the paperwork for that radio in the glove box.My vintage Rolls Royce mechanic is so amazed at how well preserved mechanically this luxury ride really is.The undercarriage and all other mechanical components are that clean.Seems to have been always garaged and properly maintained.Looks to be all original paint, so as expected there are a few small touch-ups and a few other marks, chip, dings, etc...The A/C blows Ice cold, the transmission shifts perfectly and as far as I can see, all electronics work as they should. Tires are in good shape.There are some things such as the front and back exterior window weather stripping that can be replaced as it is very dry and the front bumper could use a re-chrome.I am a collector and I need to make some room, so I am ready to let her go.
