Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
1969, SRH6839, Old English White
This is my 1969 Rolls-Royce
Silver Shadow with the chassis number
SRH6839. When you want to know more about this

The beautiful front in detail:
The left bulbs are the
flashing light (orange) and the parking light.
The outermost 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 from this period. To my opinion they are
more beautiful than the flat covers from that
period. All covers are fitted with a ring with the
colour of the car. Usually there is a small
fine line on that ring in a matching colour.
The windscreen wipers ought
to be of steel (except the blade of course). Yet
you often see wipers of black synthetic material.
I have changed the windscreen wipers of my Silver Shadow into original ones.
The round object on the picture is the
windscreen washer.
On later models these beautiful handles have
been replaced by more flat ones.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 boot lid. In early years and in later
years these lights were part of the main
lightunits.
This journey of details ends
with details of the boot lid.
