Highlights

Right-hand-drive example, chassis SWC 176
Retains its original 4.9-liter straight-six and four-speed automatic transmission
Original cream leather and walnut interior
Engine turned over on the starter in November 2025

The Appeal

The Silver Cloud II is among the most recognizable postwar Rolls-Royces, its stately proportions and refined engineering making it a perennial favorite with collectors and enthusiasts alike. This right-hand-drive example is confirmed by the Bentley Heritage Parts website as an early 1960 C Series car, and it wears period AA, Rolls-Royce Owners' Club and Italian badges that hint at a well-traveled life.

Finished in brown over cream, it presents as a complete and largely original car. The engine bay is described as unmodified, the walnut door cappings and picnic tables are in good order, and the leather, while showing patina and some splits at the top of the rear seat backrest, remains in reasonable shape. The dashboard top rail shows crazed and lifting lacquer, the headliner is discolored and the carpets are worn, but the overall interior retains much of its character.

Garage-stored since its importation to Poland in 2019, this Silver Cloud II will need full recommissioning along with attention to the front right door, exhaust and some interior trim. Factory build sheets and a chassis card have been ordered from the Rolls-Royce Foundation. With much of its hard-to-find originality still intact, it offers a sound basis for a rewarding project.
