GENERAL INFO

The 24C Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was released in March 1967 in a box showing the pre-production model in blue. Baring the NEW MODEL on end flaps, it was an E4 box that soon was replaced with another NEW MODEL E4 box but this time with the model in the traditional red color. This major variation also exists in E4R box.

Only one variation is known to exist in the F box type. Very similar to its E box counterpart, it shows the red model with chrome hubs. It has the ALP bottom lettering and “TM” on end flap closers.

RARITY

The blue model box, as well as the F2 box, are less common for this model.
