Prices when new



The prices of new Silver Shadow models are grown on the UK-market in the way the next table summarizes. During that period a Bentley with the same specifications as a Rolls-Royce of the same type was from £60 to £72 cheaper. This difference in price was completely caused by the care for the making of the Flying Lady.
The sign "•" means that that model was not sold at that moment.
An empty compartment of the table means that I don't know that price.
