Production of the Silver Shadows and T's



For a long time I have been searching for a list of all chassisnumbers of all Silver Shadows and its derivatives. I wasn't able to find such a list so far. What cars have been produced at what moment, in what order and what small affairs have occurred, is hardly to determine. In many years of registration I have collected a list of many thousands of Silver Shadow cars (including Bentley T, Camargue, etc). These pages intend to give that missing view about the production in those years. The collected chassisnumbers and the conclusions based on it, can be found in the pages that can be clicked below. The complete overview will be further reconstructed next years and regularly updated.
In these lists still many numbers are missing. Do you know Silver Shadows or Bentleys T that are not yet present, than you can contribute to these lists by sending me the missing numbers. You can reach me via the page Contact.

Production of the Silver Shadow and Bentley T in general.
The 4-door models of the Silver Shadow and Bentley T were produced on the same vehicle line. The vehicle line of the Silver Shadows was many times intermitted by Bentleys T that were produced in small batches. Batches are series within a bigger whole, so chassisnumbers that belong together.
Long wheelbases, 2-door models and convertibles were also produced in batches. These models were separated from the regular vehicle line and were partly produced by coachbuilders.
Long wheelbases with and without division were mixed on production.
Convertibles and 2-door saloons too were mixed on production, just like Bentleys Corniche en Rolls-Royces Corniche.

Sources
The presented chassisnumbers are copied from books, clubmagazines, the Workshop manual, Information sheets, Internet, e-mail, my own obser-vation and other sources. The meaning of the chassisnumbers can be read on the page about the meaning of the chassisnumbers up to 1980.
Despite my utmost carefulness it is possible that there are mistakes present in these numbers. Please read the Disclaimer.



On American cars from 1969 plates were mounted on which the month and year of manufacture were mentioned.
This plate is of the Long Wheelbase with division LRX7320 finished in Seychelles blue.
