Thanks! It does help a lot.

@Fafifikms, you’re most welcome. There are a plethora of details on these cars. Rolls-Royce didn’t make model year changes, but instead did running improvements over the course of production. In the case of this car, the facia toproll (dashboard pad) shape and round rear view door mirror identify it as a Silver Shadow, not a Silver Shadow II. The flared wheel arches appeared in 1974. The Silver Shadow II was introduced into 1977, and so this is a Silver Shadow made between 1974 and 1976. Hope this helps.

@Mazdafreak, many years of Rolls-Royce experience and ownership. PS: Doug DeMuro knows nothing about these cars.

SC has some pretty amazing stuff! There's a collection in Columbia that has 2 pistas a coupe and spyder the spyder in a pretty unique spec. He also has a bright green speciale aperta and a challenge straddle and a F12 TDF. But the highlight of his collection from what I know about is a F40. I also have heard about a Veyron on Kiawah and I am trying to find out more about it.

I remember those! My family went to GSO about ten years ago because I needed to be there for a musical event, and we went to FCI afterwards. I didn't know a lot about cars back then, but I remember freaking out when I saw the F40 parked next to the F50 parked next to the Enzo.

Amazing how many rare exotics have ties to SC. There's the red F40 south of Greenville (owners also have a 512BBi and a Daytona), and the yellow 918 Spyder which is in Charlotte periodically (owner also has a silver Carrera GT and some other Porsches). I'm sure there's even more that I've forgotten about.

L/F! This is unbelievably rare!

Red one spends 90+ % of its time in NY now, but is registered to SC, along with an Enzo and F40. If you ever saw the trio at Foreign Cars Italia about 10 years ago, that's the one I'm referring to. I know the other yellow F50 you're talking about, sold that guy a car back in the day. PM me if you want, I'll see if I can find pictures in my old phones

Because sometimes, or shall we say MOST of the time there is maybe like a model 3 or a basic 911 there... it depends how active they are and how many cars they have in their shop...

Casual! L/F

Ya, I haven't seen one for a while.....

Thanks!

Do you happen to have any info on the red one? The yellow one used to be owned by Ralph Lauren and is one of three factory yellow ones in the U.S and one of 31 factory yellow ones in the world. There used to be another yellow one in the state but that car is now in Los Angeles.

Cool spot! These get more rare each day.

Very cool shot!

that's great, thanks for the info everybody! funny that there's black, red, and yellow f50s all registered to SC of all places

good call @mazdafreak - here's link to bonhams sale in 2018:

The black one registered in Columbia is owned by the CEO of WeatherTech David Macneil and he keeps the car in Chicago. But does take it to the state sometimes.

I feel like just living in CA is cheating

Yeah he local and the fact that he drives it often blows my mind

How is this car spotting when it’s at a car detailing place?

Thx!

Hero car

Did some digging, this is a different F50. There were originally only four black F50s, but I believe three others have since been painted (or wrapped) black. There are three black F50s currently in America; this one (west of Denver, CO), the wrecked one (now located south of San Jose, CA), and a third which is registered in the Columbia, SC area (of all places). The other black F50s I have found are outside of the U.S.; one is in the London area, one is in a private collection somewhere, and the other two are/were part of the Sultan of Brunei's collection.

Doug Tabbutt (owner of Switchcars, contributor to VINwiki) apparently tried to buy the wrecked one just before F50 values skyrocketed, but was unsuccessful.

Thanks!

I have a feeling hes been doing this for a few years:)

Nice spot! Looks great in that spec... L/F!

@mazdafreak, yeah, but I thought it was rebuilt. I just found an old thread on fchat about it, sounds like it was sold by the insurance company to a buyer in Germany. I asked if anyone knows if it's popped up since. While looking up black f50s there, sounds like this could have possibly came from Ohio last.

Lorain Road never lets me down!

Yea this is a great shot and idk how it's not featured

Love it

Ik thanks! lol
