Gerry Anderson's Rolls Royce
Discussion
Afternoon All,
I'm producing a documentary about puppet pioneer Gerry Anderson. He was famously given a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 2(?) by Lew Grade and I'm trying to track it down so that Gerry's son Jamie can sit in it in the underground car park at Pinewood Studios to recreate the moment Gerry was given it.
The reg number I have for the car is PGU 1E.
Does anyone have any ideas how I may be able to track it down? (If even, it still exists)
Thanks for your help!

Thanks All,
The REG was definitely right at some point in the car's lifetime - the information I'm getting is direct from the Anderson Estate.
You're right of course that a Rolls Royce forum may well be better but as well we know, PH is the best place to make anything and everything happen!
I will of course keep you all updated.
The documentary is due to be aired in the UK next April on a well known streaming service.

even more Nerd - Stingray was the first British television show to be entirely filmed in colour

This is a very good channel run by Gerry's son.
As it's 'all things Anderson', he'd be the chap to ask.
There's an email address in there.

That's really very kind of you but the documentary I'm making is with Jamie (who runs that channel). Neither of us have any clue where the car is now.This is a very good channel run by Gerry's son.

Maybe I'm under thinking this, but if the original car couldn't be traced would it not be easier to find the appropriate model in the right colour, and then have a set of mock up / show plates made with the correct registration number if it's just for a static piece to camera?

I am seeing my Dad this evening, so I will ask him... He knew Gerry and Sylvia well back in the day - Dad did quite a lot of work on their swimming pool, and it had an early JetStream Counter Current unit fitted in it.
I think the colour was Astral Blue... So if all else fails for filming you just need an Astral Blue Shadow 1 and have a number plate made

It was "Stand by for action - anything can happen in the next half hour."

Must have been really complex that mechanism that made it slide off to one side to reveal the rocket launchpad H18 ENF said:
