Charles Steward Rolls, the aristocrat, and Frederick Henry Royce, the engineer, had this in common: they both believed that they could build a far superior automobile to the ones on the market in 1903 and proceeded to do so in the following year. They not only achieved their goals, they set a standard of elegance and refinement that has lasted for over a century - thereby making Rolls-Royce Motor Cars the paradigm of comparison for all who strive for excellence in the automotive world.
This Car
The differences between the Silver Cloud I and the Silver Cloud II are not immediately evident, even when the two stand side by side. The air intake grills under the headlamps were no black; the steering wheel was slightly smaller in diameter and positioned nearer to the dashboard, and behind the wheel arch in the right-hand fender, the factory air conditioning unit was mounted. Visually the two were identical, but it was the mechanics that enjoyed the major changes, the first and foremost being the all-aluminum 6.23-liter V-8 that replaced the straight six of the Silver Cloud I.




Of all the Silver Cloud IIs originally produced by Rolls Royce (nearly 3,000), this car offers the best of the best and the rarest of the rare. With left-hand drive designated for export and air conditioning installed by the factory, this car has become one of the most desirable of Silver Clouds to grace the roads.
