Chassis No: SBC108
MOT: Exempt
Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud’s elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley. Although, the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the fitment of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering. Powered by a 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model was capable of over 100mph.
Supplied new by the Castles Motor Co of Leicester to J.W. Kempton Esq on 5th October 1956, chassis SBC108 was initially finished in Sage over Smoke Green with Beige leather upholstery. Treated to over £30,000 worth of work at the hands of marque specialist Hillier Hill in 2010, the Rolls-Royce had a further £16,000 spent on it with NRT Motors during 2014-2015 including a full respray. Entering the current ownership via our October 14th 2015 IWM Duxford auction, and thus sold alongside Richard Colton’s 1960 Ferrari 250GT SWB, ‘936 XUG’ has since been re-liveried in its current colours. Benefiting from power steering, the Silver Cloud also boasts its original handbook, lamp and boot tools. Understood to have covered some 102,000 miles from new, the luxury saloon is described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, automatic transmission, interior trim) or ‘very good’ (engine) condition.
