The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is a luxury automobile produced by Rolls-Royce Limited from April 1955 to March 1966. It was the core model of the Rolls-Royce range during that period. The Silver Cloud replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The John P. Blatchley design was a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation, the Bentley S1 was made essentially identical, apart from its radiator grille and badging. Construction is body-on-frame, which permitted special bodied versions, though the overwhelming majority were built with the standard Pressed Steel Company manufactured steel body shell. A light-weight aluminum alloy was used for doors, bonnet/hood and boot/trunk lid. The chassis is a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. The car is 5.38 m (212 in) long, 1.90 m (75 in) wide, and weighs 1.95 tonnes. The engine is a 155 hp / 4000 rpm 4.9 L (300 cu in) six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves: twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957. The standard transmission was a four-speed automatic, the General Motors designed Hydramatic transmission. Brakes are hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo with 11 in (279 mm) drums and suspension was independent coils at the front and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Twin brake master cylinders were incorporated from April 1956. Power steering and air conditioning became available as options in 1956. This lovely example was purchased by the Seller, a seasoned Rolls Collector and RROC Member with the assistance of the RROC Technical Director about 7 years ago. It took him some time to find a really strong car mechanically, and this car had roughly $30,000 in recent mechanical work so was selected. He has enjoyed the car on Sunny Summer days only and always kept it well maintained adding new tires, having the transmission serviced, some brake work, and a complete cooling system overhaul performed by Zakiras Garage-one of the leading restoration shops in the Midwest-running $14,000.00 about 18 months ago. The car really is in excellent running and driving condition, and can be instantly campaigned on a long distance tour without hesitation. Largely an Original car cosmetically the car shows the patina that only an original car can. Several minor flaws were noted on the car cosmetically, which are pictured, overall the car presents very well.
