Classic Car Overview
This is 6.2 litre V8, the first V8 developed by Rolls-Royce and used in the Cloud series II and going forward.
The car was recently purchased from the estate of a wealthy industrialist who, on a vacation in Scotland with his family in 1982, purchased the car for the holiday. He drove the car for some 350 miles around Scotland and had her shipped back to Chicago thereafter. And not shipped in the standard method but air-freighted back home. A very decadent move back in the day. All this is documented.
Upon ownership in the US since then, the car has only travelled a few thousands miles but meticulously maintained and always stored in his very large factory premises. Mileage is a verifiable 37,200.
The car has remained completely original since. Never repainted, all original leather interior, wood, carpets and because she was always stored, completely rust and scale free. What adds to the originality is that she is in such good presenting condition. One would expect a Rolls-Royce this many years later to be in need of repaint and a certain degree of refinishing but yet, she presents amazingly well. Not perfect, with minor blemishes, but overall shiny, lustrous with an interior that presents with the perfect amount of patina. The leather has not even been dyed or touched up in any way.
If you are a purist and you like originality in all forms, this is the car for you. It can only be described as spectacularly original.
The car is finished in Tudor grey over Pacific green with light sage-blue/grey Connolly hides. The combination is not often seen and presents beautifully.
The car has the rare feature of air conditioning integrated within the dash and factory electric windows. A deep red fine-line accents the body-work and this too, is the factory original striping.
If the overall presentation wasnt enough, this Silver Cloud II drives amazingly nice as well. Very tight in the suspension, steering and gear-change. In fact, when we purchased the car, I was able to drive her home some 50 miles effortlessly and enjoyably. The car was clearly well maintained these last 40-odd years. She fires up on the first crank every time.
This is a true totally original 40-year storage find.
Very well priced for a extremely clean, original, very nice running & driving example of a Silver Cloud II.
