Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Long Wheelbase

1967, LRX2716, silver grey

The LWB was launched in 1969 (LRX6599) but in 1967 a pre-series of 10 long wheelbases had been made available. One of these cars was the LRH2542, specially built for HRH Princess Margaret (also in this gallery of pictures).
The first LWB was the LRX1467. The last was the LRX2718.
This LRX2716 has a keyed door lock on the rear passenger compartment, probably a standard feature on these first 10 cars. The pre-series also has the pivoted front side windows and lacks the side-marker lamps. The everflex roof, the smaller rear window and the RR-badge on the C-pillar were not present on the pre-series long wheelbase. So these rare pre-series long wheelbase are very special cars.
