SPECIAL FEATURE JANKEL LIMOUSINE ROAD TEST
It feels very normal, to start with. In the front, the car has the standard doors and interior of the donor Silver Spur. Getting behind the wheel is exactly the same movement and experience as taking a seat in the front of any normal Silver Spur. The dashboard, the upholstery, the seats, everything has remained the same. The adjustment of the front seats of a Silver Shadow LWB with division is limited to four instead of eight directions, but the seats of this car are not only adjustable forwards, backwards, up and down, but all tilt directions are available as well. The division behind the front seats does, of course, impose a strong restriction on the rearward movements, but the driver can still adjust the seats better than in the Silver Shadow models with division and he also has slightly more space to move.
Yet there are a few small differences with the standard Silver Spur, as a consequence ofdivision. Jankel has chosen the simplest solution for these extra facilities. The intercom is mounted on the headliner, not far from the rear-view mirror, and the button for the glass screen is built into the small centre console, hidden between the front seat switches.
