ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO

Announced in 1965 this was the first monocoque design thus bringing an end to the variety of custom-built bodyshells of the past. In time the Silver Shadow and its Bentley T-type cousin became recognised as great cars just like their forebears. In-house coachbuilders, Mulliner-Park Ward produced an attractive two-door body with flowing wing lines which was offered as fixed-head coup and convertible. From 1971 this was marketed as the Corniche, a model seen and separate from the Silver Shadow. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, detailed production changes, touring, drivers impressions, history. Models covered include: Series I & II, LWB, Bentley T2, Corniche, Silver Wraith II. 208 pages, 550 illus. SB.
