39E RR Silver Shadow II boxes and blisters

Post by ritchie »

Below are various boxes and blisters used by 39E Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. I believe it's not a complete listing. If anyone got blisters/boxes not listed below please help adding to this thread. At least there should be a Yellow Arrow blister I think, and may be more different back of blister variations.

This one is not in my collection, so I do not know what the backing is displaying.

No Ritchie, I have not seen the Rolls-Royce on a Yellow card issued between 1979 and 1985.

Thank's Jim, not sure why the Chinese version was not included because both "Ritchie" and myself do own examples... :shock:
