"A luxury car in need of some attention."

Description

The current owner purchased the car in the fall of 1991 and used it for a short period. Since then, this Rolls-Royce has been sitting unused in a property filled with other classic cars. The vehicle underwent restoration and repairs between 1988 and 1990, during which work was carried out on the braking system, power steering, and transmission. The car also received a new paint treatment during this period.

As of today, the car has been stationary for over 30 years and requires a thorough inspection and refurbishment of its various systems, as their condition cannot be reliably assessed by visual inspection alone.

The car was repainted earlier in its life, and while the finish was acceptable at the time, the preparation work could have been better. Now, after decades of inactivity, the bodywork has sustained some damage, and the paint has started to develop small blisters. Rust is visible beneath the paint, particularly under the trim on the doors.

At the time of photography, the car was not started, but the engine turns over on the starter motor. However, the fuel tank has a hole, caused by someone attempting to lift the car using it as a support.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Not started, but the engine turns over on the starter motor. Beyond that, the technical condition is unknown. Additionally, there is a hole in the fuel tank.

  • Interior condition:

    The leather interior is worn but appears to be complete—see photos for details.

  • Exterior condition:

    Older repaint. There are scratches and small dents on the body, as well as some rust beneath the paint—see photos. The underside appears to be in better condition than expected.

    The chrome trim is worn and partially rusted—see photos. The car has older tires but with good tread depth.

  • General condition:

    The car should be considered a restoration project. With some time and effort, it has the potential to be restored to its former glory.

Facts about the model

The Silver Cloud became a true bestseller for the prestigious British marque Rolls-Royce. A total of 7,451 units were produced between 1955 and 1966. With the Silver Cloud, Rolls-Royce matched Bentley's sales for the first time, as its sibling model, the Bentley S-Type, sold in equal numbers.

The Silver Cloud was available in two wheelbase versions and was Rolls-Royce's first model with a body designed specifically for the car.

In 1959, Rolls-Royce introduced the Silver Cloud II, featuring a new 6.2-liter aluminum V8 producing 170 hp, significantly improving performance compared to the previous inline-six engine.

The final evolution arrived in 1963 with the Silver Cloud III, which introduced twin headlamps, a design feature that continued on its successor, the Silver Shadow.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
