1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1
Highlights
- Part of an all Silver Cloud Wedding Fleet
- Documented 69,000 miles
- Well maintained and reliable
The Appeal
Purchased by the seller in 2014 this lovely Rolls Royce has spent the past seven years as part of his fleet of identical Silver Clouds used for dozens of weddings each year all over the South of England.
He has decided to retire from the wedding hire business and is slowly reducing the fleet. As each Silver Cloud fulfils its final booking it is being offered for sale.
The Clouds are all in good running condition and are most importantly reliable.
This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire an impressive set of matching Rolls Royces that are always in high demand. This is a well maintained and reliable example with superb bodywork and chrome.

The Interior
- Comfortable and well used
- Lightly worn Walnut woodwork
- Patinated grey leather
The inside of the Rolls is in generally good condition with a few issues that could be addressed if desired.
The Walnut dash, door cappings and fold out tables are all in nice condition with just light wear to the varnish in places. The dash itself is lightly worn with small chips and scratches here and there, but all the instrumentation is correct. The large 3 spoke steering wheel is intact with no cracks.
The grey leather seats appear to have undergone a colour change at some stage, and although they look acceptable from a distance there are areas where the original blue colour is starting to reappear.
The leather itself is well patinated with creasing throughout and it should be noted that there are a couple of splits. One is along a seam on the base of the driver’s seat, and the other is on the rear seat backrest at shoulder height. Apart from these two areas of damage we think the leather would respond well to a good “feed” which would reduce the likelihood of further splits.

The dark blue carpets have faded in places, and there is an area in front of the driver where a section has been replaced. The roof lining is clean and intact.
The boot area has black carpet and contains everything that a driver might require when performing wedding duties!
There is a jack and tools stowed beneath the boot floor and a spare wheel with lightly worn BF Goodridge tyre. The boot area appears dry and there is just minor oxidation in the lowest areas along the seam lines.

Generally the interior has a nice feel and is useable as is, but some time spent improving the leather and perhaps investing in new carpets would improve the appearance.
The Exterior
- Outstanding paint
- Excellent chrome and trim
- Consistent panel lines and fit
The exterior of the Cloud is in excellent condition, no mean feat considering the size of the body and the age of the car.
We subjected it to close inspection and were impressed by the consistent panel gaps and the overall condition of the paintwork. There is no bubbling or blistering, or any scrapes or areas of damage. All four doors open and close perfectly with no droop.
The chrome work is equally as well presented, with no pitting or dents. The important grill is undented and intact with straight vanes and smart Spirit of Ecstasy.
The grill is flanked by a pair of bumper mounted Lucas driving lamps with good chrome and no damage to the glass. We noted that the wing mounted passenger side mirror appears to be missing. The rear light lenses look to be original to the car and have faded with some age cracking to the plastic.

All four wheels have full size Rolls Royce hubcaps, three of which have a pinstripe painted in the white band, the fourth seems to have been changed at some stage. The thin white band tyres are all lightly worn, with 3 General brand and one Hercules Touring Radial.
Overall the exterior is in superb condition given the age of the car, but this may also be a reflection of the relatively low mileage. It has averaged just over 1,000 miles a year for 63 years!
The Mechanics
- Used regularly for Wedding duties
- Reliable and delightful to drive
- Regularly serviced by in house mechanic
The Cloud had been used for a wedding a couple of days prior to our visit and it performed faultlessly- an important consideration as it wouldn’t be tolerated if it “failed to proceed”!
The seller tells us that this Cloud drives particularly well, and is the wedding driver’s first choice from the fleet.
Mechanically it is in good original condition and a look at the underside reveals a solid chassis and floors, with very little oxidation and only a minor oil leak.

Summary
So many of this era of Rolls Royce suffer from poor repairs and workmanship which, on a body as large as this, is obvious and expensive to put right.
This example is straight as an arrow with excellent paint and chrome.
You might choose to invest a little time and expense on the interior but basically it’s ready to go straight to work.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
