1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Saloon

  • Chassis Number: LSED351
  • Engine Number: SD 400
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was introduced in 1955 and was designed by J.P. Blatchley. It was given the traditional grill and headlights but moved more towards a modern, integrated appearance. Just like the prior models, the Silver Cloud was built on a separate chassis so custom-bodied cars could be catered to every customers request. The body was steel, with lightweight aluminum panels for the doors, hood, and trunk lid. Power was from an inline six-cylinder engine carried over from the pre-war Silver Wraith. The engine was considered smoother than the V8 that followed in the Silver Cloud II. The powerplant was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The Silver Cloud was enjoyed greater production and a longer lifespan than any model that preceded it.

Chassis no. LSED351
Actor James Mason took delivery of this Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I from dealer Peter Satori in 1957. The second owner was Hollywood Picture Vehicles, in whose ownership the Cloud is understood to have appeared in a number of films.

The beige interior has been outfitted with a burled wood bar including original crystal decanters and glasses, and has had recent work including a new headliner, carpet, restored wood, and restored vanity mirror. The interior is also newly equipped with a hidden modern sound system.

The car has a tool kit, handbook, a dealer advertising kit, the shop manual, and a parts list.
