She is not a Post-1977 car, as can be identified by the design of the door mirror!! She is a Silver Shadow I, US-Spec.

I agree and also the location of the gas filler cap indicates an early Shadow I. The front bumper is a replacement from a later Shadow II.

but it also doesnt have the air intakes below the headlights - as SSI had..

Those air intakes were on very early SSI cars -pre 1974. This is a 1974-1976 SSI.

Look at the door mirror, and it identifies the car as being post-1970. The US cars received the rubber bumpers in mid-1973. This car does not have flared wheelarches, which appeared with compliant suspension in 1974, and so it is a mid-1973 car. It is interesting to note, that although it has a rubber bumper, as stated by JIMS RR, it is from a later (1976 on) Shadow or Shadow II -- the dedicated number plate fitting in the centre is the giveaway.

Actually - last year of air intakes was 1973 and 1975 as first year for the perforated wheel covers on US-market cars.

And 1976+ front bumper (with plate holder on, not under, applied for North America only).
