Description

C5A-03 MODERN CLASSIC

Introduced in 1959, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II set a new standard for luxury cars.

For the first time ever, a Rolls-Royce was powered by an V-8 engine and the chassis and suspension were significantly updated from the original Silver Cloud. Although the new Silver Cloud offered a host of innovations, in the traditional sense, ever-conservative Rolls-Royce still implemented a ladder from chassis that allowed for one-off, coach built bodywork.

These majestic luxury cars were favoured automobiles of the jet set and many coach-built Silver Clouds found their way into the garages of aristocrats, bon vivants and Hollywood celebrities.

This particular example originally belonged to Australian television royalty, Graham Kennedy.
