1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Convertible

One of the last of only 75 left drives built 1960-1962, this never damaged or corroded Beverly Hills - delivered example has traveled only 52,577 miles since new. Equipped as originally supplied with optional air conditioning, split bench seating and power windows and finished as ordered in Sand lacquer with Beige top and hides, it is accompanied by its original unplundered tool kit and complete owner's handbooks as well as copies of the factory records.

It was first delivered to a Hollywood film executive, Mr. John Edgar of Beverly Hills, California on November 11, 1962-such a late date that the factory records instruct it to be registered as a 1963 (which is a Silver Cloud III)! It later passed to the husband of the late Lucille Ball, who never titled it in his or her name as he did like to trade in cars, but the car was widely known as the 'Lucille Ball' car in the 1970s. It was acquired by Vantage Motorworks from the third owner in 1983 with 43,961 total miles traveled and resold to a noted physician from Ft. Meyers, Florida, in early 1984 who enjoyed it sparingly until 1996 when it was again sold by Vantage Motorworks to a Miami Beach attorney with approximately 6,000 miles more showing. That gentleman suffered a lifestyle change and Vantage Motorworks reacquired the automobile in 2004 and resold it to its present sixth owner, Guillermo Salazar.

Because of the obvious car taken with this vehicle, it has never required a major restoration.
