My Silver Shadow Page

Content to be found here is intended for personal use.
Infos were gathered from forums, books, articles in order to build a handy on line reference for taking care of my Silver Shadow (1976)...
So please be aware that I'm *not teaching anyone* here except for myself !;-) but pages possibly of general interest are labelled
Page labelled show what I'm currently performing on the car and thus are in progress.
If successfully performed, I document the process in the Maintenance Database (available in English and French).
