1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I

Drop Head Coupe

Chassis # SGE482

"Luxury clothed in aluminum"

In 1955 Rolls Royce introduced its first all new car since the end of World War II.

In the tradition of ghostly names, it was called the Silver Cloud. Although it was available as a standard steel saloon, owners of distinction often chose to only purchase the chassis and drivetrain, and have their own custom bodies designed and built to their specifications.

Chassis # SGE482 built by H.J. Mulliner to design 7410, was the coachbuilder's Earls Court Motor Show Car in 1958 and features all aluminum alloy construction. Its Whitehall Grey over Rose Beige finish is completely original, as is its stunning red leather interior. Each of its two owners have cared for it exactly 25 years.

Only 21 cars were constructed with this particular body style. The cost was a stratospheric 9,000 Pounds Sterling, when a standard Silver Cloud Saloon was 6,000 Pounds Sterling.

It has received a new stainless steel exhaust system. 

All wheel cylinders have been serviced and one of the two master cylinders was rebuilt. 

The bright work is in good condition overall and all windows appear very clean and original.

The convertible top works nicely and latches and unlatches nicely.  Interior and wood appears very well preserved and shows as well stored and original.

This is a very original and highly maintained specimen of a very low production luxury automobile. 

The tightness of the window regulators, lack of wear in door hinges, cleanliness of the interior and the amount of original style underbody/suspension components help support the low mileage showing as 25,169 original miles

The original owner's manual and tool kit are included with the car.
