1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud SILVER CLOUD

This 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is a left-hand-drive four-door saloon that was acquired in 2019 and was recently removed from storage and serviced. Work included removing and overhauling brake servos, rebuilding front and rear wheel cylinders, removing and replacing rear brake shoes, removing and reinstalling master cylinder after servicing, bleeding entire brake system and installing a new battery.

The car is finished in white with gray leather and is powered by a 4.9-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include wheel covers with body-color rings and chrome bumpers. This Silver Cloud is now offered for sale at a low reserve with a clean New York transferable registration.

The body was repainted by the previous owner many years ago. The paint still shines bright but is starting to show its age as it has some chips, cracking and bubbles in the paint. The chrome trim and bumpers were also redone and are in great shape with some scratches and minor pitting.

15″ steel wheels wear full covers with body-color rings and are fitted with Decenti D 8000 tires up front and Onyx tires out back. All 4 tires are in great shape with good tread.

The left-hand-drive cabin is upholstered in gray leather with matching door panels, which are joined by burl wood that accents the dashboard, upper door panels, and rear passenger picnic tables. Features include a driver-side storage compartment, a passenger side glove box, and a Logic stereo.

The leather upholstery was also redone by the previous owner and is in great shape with normal wear. The carpet was also replaced at some point and is in good shape. The headliner was also redone and is in great shape. There is some staining in the fabric around the small mirrors located in the rear. The rear deck fabric will need attention as it ripped and showing its age. An aftermarket air conditioning unit has been added in the rear to keep the passengers cool. The unit works fine but will need a recharge.

The three-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 110-mph speedometer, a clock, and readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, amperage, and water temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 94 k miles. True mileage is unknown. The Headlights, Heater and Wipers are currently not functional, the exact cause is unknown. The windows are functional but only the passer side front and driver side rear, the issue with the other two are unknown.

The 4.9-liter inline-six features twin carburetors and an F-head configuration that incorporates overhead intake valves and side-mounted exhaust valves. The engine runs great but does have a weak starter. An aftermarket fan driven by a switch has been added to help keep the car cool in summer months. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a column-shifted four-speed automatic transmission. The transmission runs and shifts great. There is a small fluid leak that seems to be coming from the fluid line but exact cause is unknown.

The car is a real head turner which receives compliments and stares wherever it goes. People are always wanting to take a picture with it. The car runs and drives and is in good shape for its age. The car does need some TLC as noted above which is reflected in the low reserve price. These left hand drive models are becoming harder to find and are going up in price yearly. Now is your chance to own a valuable classic for a low price which will only increase in value!
