The Appeal
The advent of the Silver Cloud marked a significant departure from Rolls-Royce’s pre-war offerings, forming the core of the firm’s model range for much of the mid-century. While its body-on-frame construction made the Silver Cloud available for coachbuilt versions, most were sold as Standard Steel Saloons and here we have one such example, an early Silver Cloud I from 1957.
Offered in very good overall condition and with a rich history file, this Rolls-Royce is sure to appeal to collectors seeking a luxurious classic that’s ready to use. Of particular note is its interior which is beautifully preserved, with fantastic woodwork and sumptuous cream leather both in fantastic condition. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to make it yours.
