Rolls-Royce that belonged to the inventor Percy Shaw for sale
Yorkshireman Percy Shaw OBE (1890 – 1976) was a true eccentric and even the configuration of his Rolls-Royce cars were far from conventional.
One of the two Rolls-Royce’s owned by Shaw, the inventor of the Catseye road stud, is for sale currently through Preston based dealer William Loughran. The vehicle, a classic 1965 Phantom V by James Young, lacks a division between the driver and passenger as was typical in these normally chauffeur driven cars as Shaw preferred to drive it himself.
