24c Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

Ah, my brain has turned to mush at this point. So is this the easy-to-find or the hard-to-find version?

It's the easier to find version without the trim strip.

Hello kbean63,

Alex is correct in saying you have shown the easier (No 'trim-strip' ) version #24c in your two pictures.

With those large opened-up rear wheel arches and what looks like the larger diameter wheels, it will be very close to approaching the next versions to appear, the ones with the wider rims, where we are getting into coloured baseplate territory!

Dam and blast again, "Mathias" is not only teasing me with pictures of his new Rolls on another thread, he's now doing it here...not only that, he is showing two Rollers, both of which are hard to find models in superb condition!!

Now a very sad Ghosty!!

These are great Mathias, rare little beauties, good find!

Here are some pictures of the body casting for the 'Regular Wheel' model and the 'Superfast' model to show the internal differences leading to my earlier claims of a "whole new body" for the 'Superfast' version. I have highlighted the most obvious details, but it is worth getting Two beaters and doing the same comparison yourselves.

I will strip these further to remove all paint and glazing to take some proper reference pictures.
