Elegant, flowing lines make the Silver Cloud the most beautiful of all factory-bodied Rolls Royces. Despite its imposing proportions, there's no heaviness, just majesty and distinction.
The Silver Cloud succeeded the Silver Dawn in 1955. It was still built on a separate chassis, an archaic technique that allowed customers who so wished to have the bodywork done by a major firm such as James Young, Hooper or Mulliner.
In 1959, the first evolution appeared, known as the Silver Cloud II, with an all-new power unit. This new model marked Rolls-Royce's switch to the 6.3-litre V8 engine, fitted with two SU HD8 carburettors, giving a ‘sufficient’ but still smooth power delivery.
