Hi all Newbie here
Just wondering is it possible to find what a late 1973 Silver Shadow costs
back then. Also was there any options, my has a wooden Nardi steering wheel.

Thanksjavascript:emoticon('')

To the best of my knowledge, a Nardi Steering wheel was not a factory option then or ever.
i would guess he cost of a new Shadow back in 73 would have been circa, $15,000.
As for options, I'll scout around for an options list, though it was usually taylored to a customers specific request rather than standard options. As they used to say, there is no such thing as a standard Rolls Royce.

That sort of doesn't seem right since the 1965 was quoted @ $19,700. So the Nardi wheel was probably installed sometime in its life or maybe when new?

My 79 Shadow 2 was worth almost $90.000 I was told. It has the Nardi wheel in it. $15,000 new seems awfull cheap for the best car in the world back then.

July 1973. No difference any more between prices of Rolls-Royce and Bentley

cost of a Shadow in 73.

So based on $1.5 to the pound, $15,000 wasn't far off the mark.
