Why is that surprising? It’s quite modern. My friend who owned this car: - /vehicle.php?id=1408012 now has a 3 litre which is approaching its hundredth birthday within a year or two, it is still on the road and it is his only car. -- Last edit: 2021-01-03 15:27:22 |

Plate info is problematic. Everyone says 1350 CD is a RR, but no-one gives a model name, except insurance sites. Most sites follow DVLA ✓ Taxed Tax due: 1 March 2021 Vehicle make ROLLS ROYCE Date of first registration May 1966 Year of manufacture 1966 Cylinder capacity 6230 cc Export marker No Vehicle status Taxed Vehicle colour BLUE Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 26 March 2020 ... which if everything is solid would match SS1 or possibly a Phantom V. AA Insurance says 1350 CD 1980-1989 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER 6750cc 4 Door PETROL Automatic Sainsburys Insurance says ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW 6230cc Petrol Automatic We think your car: Was manufactured in 1966 1350 CD plate was Brighton early-mid 1960, early in SC2 period. I guess from plate info that it's adorned various RRs over the years. Current photos as a blue wedding hire show normal SC1 or SC2 - http://petebresser.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/IMG-35.jpg , https://greenscarriages.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/019.jpg - with what looks like an incorrect mix of SC1 spiders eyes and SC2 shiny chrome side grilles. The Minder capture looks as if spiders eyes with dull side grilles, so probably SC1, which means 1350 CD was not its first plate, even back then in the 1980s. |

An illustration of a point? |

Is it not outside the realms of possibility that this is a SCIII with a rebuilt front end? |

It isn’t, but why would you? |

Dunno whether back helps debate |

Doesn't seem to have SC3 rear badge in the gloom. Confirms SC1/SC2 knobbly bumpers at both ends. |
