MisterZ ◊ 2015-05-16 07:38	Looks like 1986+ due to CHMSL?
130rapid ◊ 2015-05-16 09:32	For sure 1980+ Silver Shadow Series II, because twin exhaust pipes, chromed bumpers and side mirrors. 1985 only possible due to reachable safety belts. The CHMSL is added later probably, because Corniche II (with color-keyed bumpers and mirrors) was available since 1986 MY on North American market.

Mr. Drysdale: So you take this [gestures towards Lincoln Town Car limousine], and I'll follow you in my Rolls-Royce [gestures towards Corniche]. There you go. Jethro: Is that your car? D: Yes it is. J: Ain't that fancy...can I drive it? D: You? Drive my $180,000 Rolls-Royce? J: [nods] D: [nervous pause] ..uhh well of course you can, son, I think that's a great idea!
