Vehicle Description
Vehicle Original VIN : SZD429
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is a luxury automobile produced by Rolls-Royce Limited from April 1955 to March 1966.
It was the core model of the Rolls-Royce range during that period. The Silver Cloud replaced the Silver Dawn and was,
in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models
and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its
radiator grille. The Silver Cloud II was introduced in 1959. It was little changed externally but was given
a new Rolls-Royce developed 6.2 L V8 engine, which pushed the weight to 2.11 tonnes. Performance was greatly improved,
and top speed was raised to 183 km/h (114 mph), but the main improvements were in acceleration and torque.
Power steering became standard. Electrically operated windows were now available as an option.
This is a 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II is a surviving original vehicle is finished in light metallic blue over
dove gray leather interior and was purchased new by director Robert Day and his actress wife Dorothy Provine and remained
under their ownership for over 40 years. This car has been in storage for around 10 years, though it was reportedly started
on a regular basis to ensure that the mechanicals remained in working order, and it was recently serviced after it’s long slumber.
The Silver Cloud II was produced from 1959 to 1962. It was the core model of the Rolls Royce model range during that period and
replaced the ever-aging Silver Dawn. The Silver Cloud II was the first Rolls Royce to be designed for the owner to be the driver,
and it brought the comfort from the back to the forefront.
The Silver Cloud II was designed to be comfortably driven at high speeds for long periods of time.
The previous owner notes that the vehicle has had one repaint in the factory color, featuring a straight
body and consistent shine from all angles. Overall, the car presents well. Inside, the factory leather
upholstery is believed original with some normal age-related wear. Front and rear woodwork appears to be in good condition throughout.
Under the dual-hinged hood, this Silver Cloud retains its factory 6.2l V8 which produced more power than the inline-six found in the
Series I and raised the top speed to 114 mph when new. The previous owner notes that the vehicle has not been driven much in 10 years
but was started and run regularly to preserve the mechanical condition, it starts easily and sounds healthy.
