THE ESSENTIALS

This 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II is a beautiful US delivery LHD example with factory air conditioning and is in overall great condition! The 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II chassis LSRA217 represents a refined example of the model that introduced V8 power to the celebrated Silver Cloud line.  Showing 97,645 miles, the Rolls-Royce presents in great condition and remains ideally suited for touring, club events, and traditional Rolls-Royce motoring.

Chassis LSRA217 was delivered to the United States in June 1960 to Charles Edwin Davis of San Marino, California, originally finished in Velvet Green with Beige interiors. One of just 2,417 Series II examples produced, the Rolls-Royce combines the marque’s legendary craftsmanship with the improved performance of the 6.2-liter V8 and GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The Rolls-Royce passed to Colleen Horner of Newport Beach, California in 1973 and later to Leo Goodkind of Waterloo, Nebraska in 1978. The current owner acquired the Silver Cloud II in 2001. The Rolls-Royce has been maintained as a respected touring example and participated in the 2001 AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, PA. Accompanying documentation includes original build sheets, the chassis card, and ownership history.

The Rolls-Royce is currently in velvet green over silver two tone with tan pinstriping that presents in great condition and shows good depth and luster. The prominent chrome grille, bumpers, Great Britain badge, and Spirit of Ecstasy remain bright and in very good condition. The cosmetic imperfections found are a slight dent on the rear driver-side swan neck overrider and dent on the roofline just above the windshield. The steel wheels finished in Velvet Green with Rolls-Royce logos present in good condition consistent with normal use and are mounted with wide whitewall tires in good condition but will need to be replaced due to age (2004). We are a dealer through Coker tire that the next owner can choose to use to purchase tires of their preference before delivery.

The Rolls-Royce interior is trimmed in original beige leather paired with beige wool carpeting that presents in good overall condition. The interior wood and carpeting were restored in 2001. There is wear consistent with age and use with one tear and some cracking in the driver’s side seat. This left-hand-drive U.S. example retains its original charm with burled walnut door cappings and dash panels that remain in great condition. Smiths instrumentation, factory amenities include air conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM radio, while rear picnic tables finished in matching burl walnut continue to present in great condition and enhance the Silver Cloud’s traditional passenger comfort.

The Rolls-Royce is powered by the 6.2-liter V8 engine (engine number 271AS) paired with a four-speed GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, offering improved torque and smoother power delivery compared with earlier Silver Cloud models. The chassis incorporates power steering, front independent suspension with coil springs, and a rear live axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs, with four-wheel servo-assisted drum brakes deliver controlled stopping performance.  The water pump, alternator and belts were replaced in 2017 and a complete brake service was completed in 2017. In 2013, the wiper motor was rebuilt and electric accessories were serviced which included wiring fixes for power windows, turn signals, foglights, door latches, bake lights and bulb replacements. The AC compressor was rebuilt in 2002. Chassis LSRA217 includes some service records, the original build sheets, chassis card, a spare tire and jack.

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 J. 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 is very similar, apart from its radiator grille.
