Seller's comments about 1971' Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow
Magnificent Rolls Royce Wright II. Wright II is not the popular Silver Shadow, but a completely different version of a much more common model. In the late 1960s, after the introduction of the Silver Shadow, Rolls Royce considered offering a more upscale long-wheelbase Phantom VII model based on the Silver Shadow. However, it was decided to introduce a variant of the already produced Silver Shadow with a longer wheelbase, by about 4 inches. This provided additional legroom in the rear seats. The model was offered in the USA from May 1969. for customers in Great Britain since the early 1970s. A pilot series of ten long-wheelbase cars was built already in 1967 and sold, one of them to Princess Margaret. Some long wheelbase models were equipped with a tinted glass partition.
