1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Saloon
1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Saloon Registration GAM778J (formerly JC8447 retained by the family). Virtually one owner from new (bought by John Clough Esq from Jack Barclays when it was 18 months old). A totally original un-molested example in very good well-maintained condition with approx. 72,000 miles from new. V8 6.75 litre engine, automatic transmission, power steering, air conditioning, electric windows and ariel. This lovely original car is finished in Rolls-Royce Sand over Astrakhan with beige hide and fawn carpets. It was originally supplied to a Mr Charles Ross of Aberdeen ( probably of Ross frozen fish fame) at the cost of £8,784 and was then purchased by John Clough from Jack Barclays in London when it was 18 months old for £10,950 (original bill of sale in file). It has been a cherished car by him and his family until his death earlier this year. It is fair to say that it has been maintained regardless to cost mostly by John under the supervision of a now retired Rolls-Royce specialist. In 2016 the gearbox was professionally overhauled and suspension and steering joints have been replaced over time. It is complete with all its tools, handbooks, old MOTs going back to the 1980s and various service notes and original Jack Barclay invoice and purchase correspondence. The car has a fresh MOT until May 2024 but would benefit from a service and check over before long as it has had little use in recent times.
The late Mr John Clough was true Rolls-Royce enthusiast having been Chairman of the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club and of The Sir Henry Royce Foundation. A man of considerable charm and aptitude he was very well respected and liked and the condition of his cars reflect his fondness for them. Over the years they have won numerous prizes and attended many rallies and tours which brought him and his family much pleasure. (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT).
