Not a Silver Shadow, but there is a small Jaguar connection

Looks to me like a Ford Corsair with a Jaguar XJ6 grille..

It is, of course. LOCKED for you to find the builder

fromwien · October 13, 2023, 11:49:59 AM

Sorry, UNLOCKED again and up to the Masters

Carnut · October 14, 2023, 11:14:01 AM

i spent a lot more time than I should have Googling and using other search engines but absolutely nothing at all came up with any combination of words I could think of that might relate to this car.

I don't find the search engines anything like as good as they used to be. I read recently that a Google search only looks through 2% of the information on the www...

Good luck to the Masters! They seem to be able to find things that I can't..

fromwien · October 15, 2023, 10:01:33 AM

Hint: In this case, it would be more successful to search in old magazines than asking Google

Carnut · October 15, 2023, 11:44:37 AM

Thanks. Yes, I thought that might be the case so I did try Motor Sport, which is where this kind of car used to be advertised before the days of Classic Cars etc., but got nothing back.

I'm sure oguerrerob won't have any trouble finding it!

Oguerrerob · March 10, 2024, 06:01:10 AM

I've found a picture with (I guess) his owner (Builder). No info

fromwien · March 11, 2024, 06:21:58 AM

One step closer..
The unmolested picture I have, attached to this answer. May be this helps you further to find the solution

Oguerrerob · March 16, 2024, 01:22:11 AM

Was the modification made in the 1980's?

fromwien · March 16, 2024, 02:58:29 AM

Sorry, I have no information about, when the modification has been done

Oguerrerob · March 28, 2024, 04:02:23 PM

Is this publication (photo) from the 80's?

fromwien · March 28, 2024, 04:22:32 PM

Sorry, I don't know. I have scanned the page, where I found this picture of the car and didn't write down details about the issue of the magazine

Autocar archives came up empty for me
