The Appeal
If you’re looking to add a little winter project to your garage then look no further than this running and driving Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Inside this example is in lovely condition only showing some patina, it will require some body work but with this all wrapped up you’ll have a lovely luxury classic cruiser.
The History and Paperwork
- With this Rolls Royce, you’ll be getting a nice collection of paperwork from its past
- Included are the modern V5 and several large invoices
- The earliest invoice dates from 1990 and documents some assorted works
- Back in 1995, it has nearly £5,000 spent on it to rectify some issues at the time
- Since then, it has been kept in running condition
- You’ll also find some of the original A5 MOT certificates as well
- With a little bit of TLC, this car should be back in great condition and ready to work
The Interior
- Fitted with two comfortable leather bench seats
- There is some wear and tear on the driver’s side of the front bench seat
- The front passenger portion however is in a lot better condition, with some slight cracking to the leather
- You may wish to get this recovered but it is not needed straight away
- In the rear, the bench seat is in better condition
- Stretching the length of the rear will provide your passengers with a great level of comfort
- Below the seats, you’ll find the nice-looking carpet
- This carpet is in good condition front and rear and adds a touch of class to the interior
- Above you, the headliner is in place, but you may wish to recover it
- Throughout the car, there are some lovely wooden elements
- The dash area has been preserved well with no large areas of lacquer peel
- You may see that the driver’s side door armrest has come loose so this will require some attention
- With some slight work needed the interior is in generally good condition
- You will be carrying passengers before you know it
The Exterior
- It is the exterior that will probably require the most work
- On the near side, the wing will need replacing
- The current owner mentioned that you could get this completed for about £2,000 using a genuine wing
- The offside of the vehicle is in better condition but could still do with some work to repair some slight bubbling
- On the whole, however, this is an excellent starting point
- The important parts of the exterior trim are still present
- As you’d expect the car has a lot of exterior chrome
- All of this chrome is in great condition
- The iconic vertical chrome grille is in good condition along with the front bumper
- This is then mirrored by the rear bumper
- Once you have completed some of this external work this car will be an excellent example
The Mechanics
- Mechanically this Rolls Royce is in good condition
- On the day of the photos, it started on the button and drove into position
- The gearbox selected first and reverse without an issue
- The handbrake could probably do with some adjustment
- There are some big invoices from the past that show this car has been cared for
- These cars are usually bulletproof and will serve as a beautiful professional car
- You can just imagine this car transporting many brides and grooms away from their wedding
Summary
What we have here is an excellent base for you to start from. It runs and drives, with all of the important trim still present. The car will require a bit of work before you can use it as a working vehicle, but once completed this will be a stunning classic Rolls Royce.
