Wiki - The Wraith II was offered in the United States from May 1969, and available to domestic customers from early 1970.[10] A pilot series of ten long wheelbase cars had been built in 1967 and sold, one of them to Princess Margaret |

That's not what Wikipedia says: "Rolls-Royce considered offering a more exclusive, long-wheelbase Phantom VII model based on the Silver Shadow, but production was not pursued and no prototypes were built.[9] Instead, a long-wheelbase variant, some 4 inches longer to provide additional rear seat legroom, was offered in the United States from May 1969, and available to domestic customers from early 1970.[10] A pilot series of ten long wheelbase cars had been built in 1967 and sold, one of them to Princess Margaret.[11] Some long-wheelbase models were fitted with a privacy glass divider. Outside of North America, the cars with a divider were fitted with a separate air conditioning unit mounted in the boot - North American safety laws made this impossible, as the petrol tank would have had to be relocated. The cars with a divider lost the entire gain in wheelbase. The glass divider was electrically retractable. Initially, the long-wheelbase model did not have a separate name, but in 1976, with the introduction of the Silver Shadow II, the longer car was dubbed the Silver Wraith II." So the Wraith name wasn't used before 1976 (1977 model year) on these models, they were Silver Shadow LWB before then. |

Yes. |

since the movie is a 1969 release,this can only be a 1966 - 1968 Silver Shadow Standard Saloon. |

But there is mid 1968-1969 tiny sidemarker on front wing. |

Probably a subsequent addition, no proof of anything. |

We've 5 pages of 1969 SS with these small sidemarkers. Also, 1968+ fixed quarter window in front door. |

Still could be a 67 with the side marker added. As I said, on many occasions, minor changes like this prove absolutely nothing by their presence, and only slightly more by their absence. Now a nice big sheet metal change, I might take notice, but not odd little lights. -- Last edit: 2020-10-28 17:29:42 |
