1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Estate Wagon

After Harold Radford LTD had been taken over by H.J. Mulliner they produced four Silver Clouds with Harold Radford Design No: 7501, estate car bodies. Three are still known to exist and this is one of the remaining three.

The car is equipped with an overhead-inlet-valve, side exhaust valve, in-line six-cylinder 4.9 liter engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission and has a top speed of about 105 mph.

This Estate Wagon was delivered to John H. Ballentine in Connecticut on April 10, 1959. Richard Thomas is the third owner of this vehicle.

The first of four estate wagon versions of the Silver Cloud built, this Radford design was featured at the 1959 New York Automobile show. It has been newly restored and scores highly at Pebble Beach RROC events.

The 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Rolls Royce company is the first time the automobile has been shown since the completion of the work.
