1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Convertible Aluminum Body

This 1959 Silver Cloud I features the H.J. Mulliner style 7410 aluminum-bodied convertible. Only 13 left drives were built from 1956 through 1959 (each one reportedly at a net loss) before Rolls-Royce decided to economize by supplying standard 4-door sedan bodies to Mulliner for adaptation to their much more numerous 7504 series.

This late example, fitted with the large valve, large carburetor, Continental specification engine, power steering and power-operated top, is the last of these works of art. It was shown on the H.J. Mulliner stand at the 1958 Earls Court Motor Show and subsequently sold to Mrs. Madeline Shea of New York. She passed it on to her daughter in 1974 and she kept it until 1989 when she sold it to Vantage Motorworks with only 80,595 miles covered during the 31 years. It was acquired by the current owner in 2001 and was then resold to the fifth owner who after enjoying the car with his young daughters decided to sell it back to the again current owners.

This example has copies of the title of the original owner, factory records and photos of the restoration, along with the books and complete tools.
