" Lowest, most radical Can-Am yet "
Road & Track 1969
Road & Track 1969
Regarded as one of the most radical and innovative CanAm race cars in history.
With the support of Shadow founder Don Nichols ( 1924 - 2017 ) and designer Trevor Harris, Harm Lagaaij has restored it back to its spectacular original body and technical configuration as it was built and then track tested in 1969/1970 by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer.
This restoration was done regardless of cost and time. It is in stunning condition, race ready, crack tested, an extensive spare parts package, and has full FIA HTP papers.
The car has been demonstrated successfully at Goodwood FOS 2010 and 2013 and has raced at several historic CanAm events in the last years.
As a result of its unique appearance, the Shadow Mk 1 is a great crowd puller and an unforgettable piece of CanAm history.
During the 2016 Silverstone Classic Harm Lagaaij was given the trophy for "The most admired race car" .
