Always loved the silver shadow especially the mrk 1

Very well done. As the owner of a 1968 MPW Drop Head Coupe', I really enjoyed watching your video.

In my opinion maybe The Corniche cabriolet was the first Rolls-Royce make for international market more than for british aristocracy or landlords

[@keystonegarage]

@@giuliopedrali4794 Yes, I think that is a very accurate assessment. The US market was probably the Corniche's biggest market, especially towards the end.

[@giuliopedrali4794]

@@keystonegarage Yes, but the modern 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was already make for american market, a car half for the british aristocracy and half for american rich people, but the Corniche was essentially for international luxury market and not much for british market.

I would want a1995 turbo with ABS and Air bags put back to a coupe shell with a 1982 paint choice.

[@keystonegarage]

@@edword7195 I like the idea.

50+lbs of lead per car

[@keystonegarage]

@@espenbjerke665 I can believe that.

[@candymintz]

The ugly part about the convertible was the not fully retractable hood, why RR didn't make it fully automatic as they do with the Phantom was an error, american cars in the 50s had fully retractable hoods..

[@keystonegarage]

@@candymintz I suppose it was a different time when Rolls-Royce was still very traditional. They had a sort of a 'we've been doing this for years, so why change it?' attitude.
