The company was founded by Don Nichols in California in 1968 as "Advanced Vehicle Systems"; the cars were called Shadows, designed by Trevor Harris and entered under the Shadow Racing Inc. banner.
Shadow Racing Cars was a Formula One and sports car racing team.
The sports car racing team, competing in the CanAm series, was founded in 1968 and was based in the United States. The Formula One team was founded in 1973 and was based in Northampton, the United Kingdom. The Formula One team held an American licence from 1973 to 1975 and a British licence from 1976 to 1980, thus becoming the first Formula One team to officially change its nationality. Their only Formula One victory, at the 1977 Austrian Grand Prix, was achieved as a British team.
The Shadow name was revived by Bernardo Manfrè in 2020 as an Italian car tuning and luxury brand.
