1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Bentley T Stunning 4 door sedan
Bentley TA stunning "garish 70's" factory order from Crewe 1974 Very rare gold "Savoy Velour" interior option - the epitome of the 1970s. Where ostentatious tastes saw bell-bottom plaid suits, Marlboro man moustaches and Studio 54 night-clubs. When the films of the era were "Clockwork Orange", "Annie Hall" and "Taxi Driver", the broadway show was "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Chicago" and Liza Minnelli won best actress Oscar for Cabaret. TV was all about "Charlie's Angels" in the US whilst we watched "The Sweeney" and "Minder" in the UK. On opposing sides of that big pond we laughed at Richard Pryor and the Morecambe & Wise duo. Whilst some loved Liberace with all his glitz and glamour, so did others fan to Elton John displaying similarly outrageous stage get-up and showmanship. America had boat-sized Cadillacs whilst the UK had groovy Minis and sexy E-type Jaguars. The world was changing towards atomized individualism and away from communitarianism. The 1970s was all about being showy and flashy - for one's self - with big statements and plenty of pizzazz - where "too much" was just enough. In the midst of all this, this one Bentley surely spoke out - in every bit of the language - she is the epitome of the 1970s.
