1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Convertible Coupe

  • Coachwork by Mulliner
  • Chassis Number: LSRA309
Introduced in 1955, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was the first completely new post-war model from Crewe. It was designed to fit between the aging Silver Wraith and the low-volume Silver Dawn. The Silver Cloud wore a design courtesy of chief designer John Blatchley. In 1959, the Silver Cloud II arrived, replacing the prior six-cylinder engine found in the Silver Cloud I, with a new aluminum overhead valve 6.2-liter V8. The Silver Cloud II was available in two wheelbases, catering to wide audience of buyers and bodystyles.

This particular example is one of only 75 left-hand drive cars built with drophead coachwork by H.J. Mulliner. It is also one of just 107 short-wheelbase versions.

This Silver Cloud was originally delivered to California, equipped with left-hand drive and electric windows. Subsequent owners resided in Iowa and Florida. The current caretaker undertook an expert re-commissioning at the hands of West Hoathly Garage in Sussex, England. The work included re-trimming the interior in Gray-Blue leather, new Wilton carpets, and refinishing all of the walnut wood. The exterior was given a bare-metal respray in a classic shade of Shell Grey.
