Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

1974, SRC18002, Chestnut

This is one of the few and one of the last Silver Shadows that is provided with the American black bumpers, but that are not yet provided with the wider wheel track. From chassisnumber 18269 the Silver Shadows got a wider track and the wheelarches were flared which caused a wider look of the complete car. The car on the pictures has tyres in the size 235 70R15 whilst the size 205 70R15 was the original size. The effect of the smaller track is somewhat compensated by those tyres.

The flat wheelcovers were already changed by ventilated wheelcovers in 1971, even on American Silver Shadows. On American copies the flat wheelcovers yet occurred until 1974.
