JAMES YOUNG SPECIAL

This advert for Jack Barclay Ltd dates from late 1966, when James Young was producing its own bespoke two-door version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow – of which just 35 examples were built in total. It was a particularly short-lived model, ceasing production in 1967 and thereby leaving the way clear for Mulliner Park Ward’s own two-door Silver Shadow, the car that would go on to be renamed the Corniche in 1971.

The James Young two-door is highly collectable
