1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Convertible Coupe

This Silver Cloud I has coachwork by James Young. It was the second of two such aluminum-bodied works and it was delivered on May 22, 1959, to Alfred Hart of Bel Air, CA, finished, according to the factory built sheets, in Dark Grey with red hides. It was supplied with power operated convertible top, front door windows (unlike the first one) and antenna, as it remains today.

The current owners purchased the car in 2007 with 51,902 miles on the odometer, which is believed to be correct. They commissioned the selling dealer to carry out a mechanical review and refurbishment of the automobile including the addition of a period appearing upgraded air conditioner with complimentary cooling system and a cosmetic upgrade to his specifications. The coachwork was refinished in Oxford Blue, a Rolls-Royce color of the period, with a Saddle tan top and specially ordered hides. A correct tinted windshield as per the build sheet was fitted and the chrome bright work repaired and replaced as part of the process. Complete tools and correct handbook accompany the vehicle along with copies of the original factory records.
