The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow interior

This bulletproof Rolls-Royce which transported Princess Diana around the USA on her first trip across the Atlantic (pictured) is expected to fetch more than £1 million at auction. See SWNS story SWDIANA: The silver Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was bought new in 1979 by the British embassy. But it wasn’t used until 1982 because engineers spent two years and $200,000 armouring the luxury car to repel bullets, grenades and even small bombs. It was used by the UK embassy in Washington and was the car which transported Princess Diana and Prince Charles around the USA in November 1985.
