Powered by a Rolls-Royce-built V8 mated to an automatic transmission with column shift. This classic car is equipped with power steering, SU dual carburetors, drum brakes, a central dome light mounted in the wool headliner, and a single exhaust outlet, providing optimal road manners without sacrificing its refined character.

The exterior showcases hallmark design elements including chrome bumpers with overriders, Coker Classic whitewall tires, 15-inch steel wheels with Rolls-Royce hubcaps, and the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy leading the way. Inside, occupants are greeted by wood trim, Smiths/Lucas instrumentation, a three-spoke steering wheel, power windows, rear picnic tables, glove box, dome light, and a JVC radio, all reinforcing the Silver Cloud’s understated luxury. Included are the jack and full-size spare tire, neatly stored in the boot.

The Silver Cloud II was the first Rolls-Royce production saloon fitted with the company’s 6.2L (6230 cc) all-aluminum V8 engine, replacing the 4.9L inline-six used in the Silver Cloud I. The V8 produced significantly higher torque at lower engine speeds, improving drivability in everyday conditions while maintaining the model’s emphasis on smooth, low-vibration operation. A well-presented example of a mid-century luxury saloon that drives as intended and retains its original character throughout, mechanically sound. For $39,950
