Rolls Royce Silver Shadow II

Post by nearlymint »

Hi all,
Just wondering if any one has any info on this model, I got it loose in a collection and just wondered if it would have come with a box.
Model is made in China.

In addition to what has been said in that other thread, I can add that although the black Silver Shadow II was perhaps originally intended to be released on the Chinese domestic market only, examples of it were also found in assortments distributed to some unlikely countries as far apart as Hungary and Zimbabwe, in the first half of the 1990s.

All of the models in those assortments were packed in US-style blisterpacks of several different types, but nearly always packs made for other models than those actually contained. The name of the model actually contained in each pack was printed in Chinese on a white label glued on the card.

I do not think the black Silver Shadow II was ever sold as a single in any kind of box: only blisterpacks and different kinds of multi-packs.
