Description
The car has chassis numbers the SXC645 has probably never been renovated, but may have been re painted many years ago. The paint is solid matt black with patina and some insignificant small scratches, otherwise looks very fresh. The interior leather work has also been aged in style without much wear, the same with the fine woodwork trim. This is a car has been carefully kept and feels very solid.
This Silver Cloud II was purchased for Motala Motor Museum in 2009. Since then, it has been on display and used for a few weddings. Underneath the hood is the classic V8 of 6.2 liters, however, the number of horse power is a secret that only Rolls Royce knows.
Silver Cloud was introduced in 1955 and soon became one of Rolls-Royce's major successes. The model became the first with bodywork developed directly for the car and Silver Cloud sold very well. Silver Cloud II still has the beautiful front with single lights and big V8 under the hood. For viewing, please contact museum boss Johan Rahm, phone: 070-81 58 888. The car is displayed in Motala at the museum's normal regular opening hours.
