There were 2,238 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I models produced from 1955 through 1959 and by the time the Silver Shadow arrived in 1965, 7,248 units had been produced. They were the zenith of prestige and luxury and powered by an overhead valve V-8 engine rated at approximately 178 horsepower (Power was never officially quoted by Rolls-Royce and was simply referred to as 'adequate'). The elegant exterior styling was done by John Blatchley in the grandest tradition. Standard bodies were produced by Pressed Steel, of Cowley, England. Though the name implies 'steel', all the doors, boot and bonnet were constructed of aluminum.
In 1957, the Silver Cloud I received important mechanical updates including the fitment of a dual reservoir braking system, power steering, and the use of a larger cylinder head and larger carburetor, increasing power by an estimated ten percent.
This Saloon is finished in silver and black two-tone with black leather interior. It is a right-hand drive that is equipped with air conditioning. It was purchased from a long-term owner in Georgia and has been given a recent show quality restoration.
In 2012, this car was offered for sale at the St. Johns Concours auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $50,000-$60,000. Bidding reached $35,000 but was not enough to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2012
