Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

1969, SRH6839, Old English White

This is the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow from 1969 with the chassis-number SRH6839. When you want to know more about this car, click on the menu-button "My Silver Shadow".
The beautiful front in detail:

The left bulbs are the flashing light (orange) and the parking light. The exterior of the two headlights (the left one) is the normal headlight. The oval airintake leads the fresh air through a duct to the footspace in the cabin and can only provide fresh and unheated air.

These are ventilated wheelcovers. They are not original for the Silver Shadows form this period. To my opinion they are more beautiful than the flat covers from that period. All covers are fitted with a ring in the colour of the car. Usually there is a small piping on that ring in the colour of the piping on the flank and of the interior.

The windscreen wipers ought to be of steel (except the blade of course). Yet you often see wipers of black synthetic material. Also the windscreen wipers of my Silver Shadow I changed into original ones only some years ago. The circled object on the picture is the windscreen washer.

These beautiful handles have been changed on the models of some years later by more flat ones.

In 1969 The mirrors of the Silver Shadow and T were round. On almost every modern car the mirrors broaden the car. Not on the Silver Shadow from this period.

Many years the reverse lights were mounted on the lid of the luggage compartment. During the first years and the later years these lights were part of the big lightunits.

This journey of details ends with details of the lid of the luggage compartment.
