Highlights
- Retrimmed interior with new all woodwork refinished
- Regularly serviced by marque specialist Cameron Lunt in Liverpool
- Handsome colour scheme of Diamond Black over Georgian Silver
The Appeal
First introduced in 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II shared much with its predecessor but differed most greatly under the bonnet where the old 4.9-litre straight-six was replaced by an L410 6.2-litre V8 that would serve Rolls-Royce in various iterations throughout the remainder of the 20th century.
This 1961 example is presented in lovely condition having been refurbished inside and out. The vendor informs us that it runs and drives very well indeed and attracts admiring glances wherever it goes.

The Interior
- Totally retrimmed
- Refinished woodwork
- New blue carpeting
Upon stepping inside, it becomes immediately evident that this Rolls-Royce has been expertly retrimmed. The seats and door cards have been lavishly reupholstered in grey leather and present exceedingly well. The front bench seat remains in excellent condition, the leather beginning to crease ever so slightly but no signs of excessive wear, staining or damage we could discern.
The door cards too look to be in very good order and accommodate the electric window switches - an optional extra introduced on the Silver Cloud II. The headlining is also clean and secure and the same goes for the upholstered inner D pillars.
The vendor informs us that the woodwork has been entirely refinished and the burr walnut appears in fantastic shape, polished to a beautiful shine and without any delamination or finish cracking we could see. The dashboard is particularly attractive in this example and the vendor informs us that all of the switches and instrumentation held within functions as it should. There is a little wear to some of the switchgear labels, although they all remain clearly legible. One thing this car does not lack is tables, with one in the front (complete with ashtray) and two for rear passengers.
The cabin has a fairly new blue carpet which appears in excellent order throughout. The boot is carpeted in black and contains a jack, spare wheel and toolkit.
The Exterior
- Diamond Black over Georgian Silver
- Very fine bodywork
- Smart brightwork
Refinished in a very fetching colour combination of Diamond Black over Georgian Silver which the vendor reports is a variation on the original colour scheme, making this Rolls-Royce a handsome beast.
The condition of the paintwork appears to be very good indeed, with no obvious blemishes we could see. The bodywork looks good too, arrow straight down the sides with great panel fitment and even door shuts.
The glass is clear, clean and appears free from chips and scratches. The same goes for the brightwork, which you can see your reflection clearly in. There was no pitting or evidence of damage we could see to the iconic Rolls-Royce radiator grill and of course the world-famous ‘Spirit of Ecstacy’ stands atop it.
Underneath, the chassis looks to be in good condition and free from corrosion. The steering and suspension componentry is in good order and the rear leaf springs are bound with gators.
The car sits upon smart wheels, complete with hubcaps and the tyres have ample tread remaining.
The Mechanics
- Clean and tidy under the bonnet
- 6.2-litre V8
- Runs and drives well
The vendor informs us that the mechanicals have always been attended to judiciously and as a result, this Rolls-Royce is a joy to drive and pulls strongly. The aforementioned 6.2-litre V8 first used in the Silver Cloud II enables this large automobile to exceed 100 mph - quite a feat in its day.
It changes gear as it should via its General Motors automatic gearbox and comes to a stop in a timely fashion.
Summary
Here we have a particularly charming example of the highly regarded Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II. It has been subject to judicious servicing and resplendent in its attractive paint scheme and refurbished interior This is a particularly smart example that would be a worthy addition to any garage.

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.
