Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

1974, SRC19033, Blue

The chassis-nummer of this American Silver Shadow is SRC19033.
From this chassisnumber can be gathered that:
- this is a standard 4-doors saloon (the "S")
- this is a Rolls-Royce (the "R")
- this is a left hand drive bound for the American market, from the year 1974 (the "C").

On the cars for the American market there were no spoilers fitted.

On the picture below you can see that the grill of the series II and of the American designs of the series I were fitted with a grill that was 15% deeper ("thicker"). Because the bumper had to be able to move under the grill in case of a small accident, the grill was shortened a little with regard to the European models.

A mirror in the C-style is a standard feature in all 4-doors saloons. On this picture you see safetybelts on the back seats. These were standard since 1971. Further on only the cars for the American market were fitted with headrests on the back seats in 1974 (from 1973 until 1977).

The footrests are put away in the backs of the front chairs.

Every Silver Shadow has a spacious boot. The battery is put away at the left side of the boot.

The dashboard is beautiful. More about this dashboard can be found on the page about the dashboard of a Silver Shadow from 1974.

The chassis-number is visible on the dashboard: SRC19033.

The bonnet is fitted with sound-deadening material.

The left pedal is for the "handbrake". Typically American. Right of it you see the switch for full headlights. Beneath the accelerator pedal the cick-down-switch is visible.
