1957 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Classic, Original Survivor

This Rolls Silver Cloud 1 is one of 2238 ever produced over a 4 year period. Construction was body-on-frame. which permitted special bodied versions. though the overwhelming majority were built with the standard Pressed Steel Company manufactured steel body shell. A light-weight aluminium-based alloy was used for doors. bonnet/hood and boot/trunk lid. The chassis was a simple steel box section. welded together and very rigid. [3] The car was 5. 38 m (212 in) long. 1. 90 m (75 in) wide. and massed 1. 95 tonnes. The engine was a 155 hp / 4000 rpm 4. 9 L six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves: twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957. [4] The standard transmission was a four-speed automatic. The turning circle was 41 feet 8 inches (12. 70 m). [1]Brakes were hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo with 11 in (279 mm) drums and suspension was independent coils at the front and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Twin brake master cylinders were incorporated from April 1956. [4]Power steering and air conditioning became available as options in 1956. and this particular car does maintain power steering. This car is the dictionary definition of a survivor car. It is completely original and un-molested and still maintains its original paint. As you can see from the numerous photos the paint is showing its age as it is cracking in various locations though. There are absolutely no rust issues of any kind to speak about on the car. From 20 ft it still looks like a very nice presentable car. The interior is absolutely gorgeous. all of the mahogany wood is in very nice condition (including the rear fold down tables) the pictures speak for their self. The car runs and drives very nicely and everything functions as you would expect it to. There is a newer exhaust on the car and the brake system was recently gone over as well. Delivery of this car is available up to 400 miles for $1. 75 per loaded mile. Any questions or concerns please feel free to call Kent at 724 322 2434.
