Not a Corniche, but a pre-Corniche called "Silver Shadow Two-Door-Saloon" built by Mulliner Park-Ward until 1971 when it beccame renamed for Corniche. Pre-Corniche modells can be recognized by the wheel-discs having no ventilationholes |

I don't know where this actual car is, but a friend of mine has one (LHD, imported from the USA in 1999) for sale. Very good condition, white paintwork with tan leather and tan everflex roof |

This is a pre-FSS specification (for the US) Silver Shadow two-door saloon by Mulliner Park Ward. It is finished in Brewster Green with Beige hide. Shadow coachbuilt cars had round reversing lamps, as opposed to the rectangular ones on the Corniche models. In addition, they have full wheel covers with painted trim rings, as opposed to the rim embellishers and spun stainless steel hubcaps on the Corniche cars. The radiator grille is shallower, front to back, on the Shadows, and the facia is different in styling. There are numerous other differences, both cosmetic and technical, on these cars. |

The actual car was sold at a Bonhams & Butterfields sale of Steve McQueen memorabilia, November 11, 2006. It went for $70,200, including the buyer's premium. It was a 1967, with chassis number CRX2672. Here's some description, from bonhams.com: "This car’s accompanying paperwork shows that it was ordered new in 1967 from Rolls-Royce by Hollywood movie producer Jerry Bresler (1908-1977) whose extensive body of work included The Vikings, Major Dundee and Casino Royale. Factory build cards record that Mr Bresler ordered this left-hand drive Rolls-Royce with numerous enhancements including lowered steering column, Firestone white-wall tires, electric aerial, electric windows, Sundym glass, air conditioning, driver’s door mirror, hazard warning device, between-seats companion box and inertia-reel safety belts to the front seats. The car’s next recorded owner is Ms Sharon R Simon(s), variously a resident of New Orleans, Dallas and Beverly Hills who, documents indicate, owned it as early as 1980 and into the 1990s. The vendor acquired the car circa 2000. Finished in blue with beige leather interior, ‘CRX2672’ is offered with owner’s manual and, in addition to the aforementioned Rolls-Royce factory documentation, comes with service records dating back to 1997, including those relating to work carried out by Rolls-Royce/Bentley specialists Moyer Motorcars of Front Royal, VA and a repaint undertaken by Pro Finish Auto Body in December 2000." |

One great detail: In the movie, the Rolls-Royce wears Massachusetts plates "TC 100" -- TC for "Thomas Crown," of course, from a time when personal plates (initials, no words or "clever" sayings), were the height of chic. Crown's dune buggy also has personal plates: "TC 300." Wonderful touch. |
