Does anyone know if rear seatbelts were standard on 1971 Silver Shadow. I'm starting down the path of replacing trims / seat leather. The rear setbelts are in bad shape and don't look original. I'm wondering if I need to replace them.

Thanks in advance..

Jeff, my 1970 Shadow (SRH8685) has the front belts as standard, and someone/sometime installed rear belts. They have plastic buckles and the retraction mechanism is obviously exposed on the rear "parcel shelf". I would like to get rid of them, but I don't know what to do with the marks/indentions that the mechanisms will leave on the shelf.
I am also looking for front buckles, the ones I have had the RR logo adhered on them, and it's not there anymore.

Jeff, UK delivered DRH14434 [1973] only had front belts fitted as standard and rear lap belts had to be fitted on arrival in Australia in 1983 for registration in NSW.

Jeff, my Shadow 1. 20/3/74 was delivered with just front seat belts,also the car is only fitted with headrests in the rear.
There is no provision for head rests in the front seats at all, [strange].
