Silver Shadow, Silver Shadow II, Corniche, Camargue, T & T2
Number Produced: 37,174

Original Specification:8 cylinders (V-8), overhead valves, 6230 cc, 4-speed automatic gearbox, power steering, hydraulic disc brakes and mechanical handbrake, independent suspension front and rear, automatic height control.

In 1966, with the introduction of the Silver Shadow/T, a new system of chassis numbering began using three letters and four or five numbers. The letters did not denote small series or batches of cars as earlier chassis letters had. Rather, these letters were codes following the pattern below. The numbers were just sequence numbers. In this book, these cars are listed in numerical-sequence order.

An entire chassis number looks like this: SRX2442 or CBX6566 or DRB17463. Use the chart below to read these numbers.

1^stletter = body style
2^nd letter = make
3^rdletter = position of steering/year

C = coachbuilt 2-door coupe
(R = Rolls-Royce, H = Home (right handrive)throughout, B = Bentley drophead to 6646)
G = PV I, 3 speed
X = Export (left handdrive)
D = drophead from 6647 A = 1972 (lhd).
L = long wheelbase with or Without division
B = 1973 (lhd)
P = Phantom VI
J = Carmargue C = 1974 (lhd).
S = standard steel saloon
D = 1975 (lhd) E = 1976 (lhd) F = 1977 (lhd) G = 1978 (lhd)
K = 1979 (lhd)
L = 1980 (lhd)

Thus;
RX2442 is a standard steel saloon Silver Shadow Rolls-Royce with left hand drive;
CBX6566 is a 2-door Bentley with left hand drive; and
DRB17463 is a drophead Rolls-Royce Corniche 1973.

Change/Feature introduced at sequence no.;
First Silver Shadow/Bentley T 1001
2 door coupe 1148
2 door drophead 1698
U.S. Federal Safety Standards 6000
Lwb saloon 6599
Engine size increased from 6230 to 6750cc 9200 – 9350
Corniche coupe 9770
Corniche drophead 9919
Camargue 16648
Silver Shadow II 30001 (rack & pinion steering; revised facia; lwb version named Silver Wraith II)
Corniche/Camargue with mineral oil hydraulics 50001

In 1980 when the cars above were announced, a radically changed system of Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) type chassis numbers was applied to all Rolls-Royce built cars. These 17-digit alphanumerics hold information on each car in coded form as follows : - country of maker , marque, line of manufacture, body style, engine type, occupant restraint system, model year, plant of manufacture, position of steering, and sequence number.

Given in full, these numbers look like this: SCAZS42A8 BCX01795. RROC, following an informal company policy, reduces this string to an 8-digit shorthand. In addition, RROC adds a dash between the letters and numbers to make clear instantly that the car in question is a Silver Spirit and not a Silver Shadow.

The 3 letters in the shorthand form are: 5^th, 3^rd, 10^th. Thus SCAZS42A8BCX01795 has the relevant letters underscored and becomes SAB-01795. (For the Silver Seraph and Arnage models, the 3 digits in the shorthand form are the 4^th, 5^th& 10^thdigits.)

5^thletter = body style 3^rd letter 10th digit = year

A = Silver Dawn A = Rolls-Royce A = 1980

B = Continental R B = Bentley B = 1981

C = Corniche coupe C = Red Label C = 1982

D = Corniche drophead D = 1983

E = Eight/Brooklands E = 1984

F = Brooklands LWB F = 1985

G = Flying Spur G = 1986

J = Camargue H = 1987

K = Azure J = 1988

L = (Silver Spur/Mulsanne L, LWB or K = 1989

Arnage, Seraph) L = 1990

M = Phantom limousine M = 1991

N = lwb saloon w/o div. N = 1992

(Silver Spur/Mulsanne) P = 1993

R = TURBO R = 1994

S = saloon (Silver Spirit/Mulsanne) S = 1995

T = Phantom landaulette T = 1996

U = Continental T V = 1997

Z = Bentley Continetnal SC W = 1998

X = 1999

Y = 2000

1 = 2001

Thus SAB 11111 is a standard Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit built in 1981, and is car no. 11111 in sequence. DAB-03804 would be a Corniche drophead Rolls-Royce built in 1981, car no. 03804.

Springfield Chassis Numbers

Until 1923, engine numbers were coded to show year of production followed by sequence within the year. Thus, 21–56 is engine 56, made in 1921. Starting in 1923, engine numbers were coded to show year of production and chassis number. Thus, 21548 is an engine made in 1928 (first and last digits) and fitted to chassis S154FR (middle digits).
