1970’s Rolls/Royce Ltd shares

sw1000

I’ve found a Rolls-Royce Ltd share certificate belonging to my late Mother dated 20/04/1970. Can anyone advise if this is still likely to be valid, and if so who I should contact in reference to this as I realise the company went into liquidation around that time? Thanks in advance

12. I have a Rolls-Royce Limited share certificate; is this worth anything?

Rolls-Royce Limited went into liquidation in 1971 and shareholders received distributions totalling 64.5p for every £1 unit of stock held. The final distribution was made in 1982. The funds relating to uncashed distribution cheques were passed by the liquidators to the Insolvency Service. If you believe that you did not receive these distributions and would like to check this, queries should be addressed to:
