Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I, with three owners from new, boasts a lot of history and presents as a lovely original car. It features a resprayed lower half, original red leather interior, and comes with its original handbook and warranty tabs.

Condition
7
The car presents very well and has been fastidiously maintained as part of a wedding car fleet, with invoices on file. The lower half has been resprayed to a high standard, and the original red leather interior and wood trim are in super order, with only a few cracks. However, there is a plate-sized bloom on the boot lid, and the indicated mileage is based on old MOTs rather than a guarantee.

1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Three owners from new; lots of history; a lovely original car that presents very well; driven 50 miles to the sale The buff logbook for this splendid Cloud 1 lists the first of its three owners as Mr P Dalton from Harrogate.
He sold it in 1964 to Mr James of Holmes Chapel before it passed to our vendor's father in 1974.
It has remained within the family business since, the current V5C showing just one previous keeper which is incorrect.
Forming part of a significant fleet of wedding cars, it has been fastidiously maintained as can be seen from the invoices on file.
It has always been kept in fine order, a bill for £3,000 in 2011 covering various welding and body repairs.
The lower half has been resprayed to a high standard in black, and its original grey metallic finish remains above.
The only significant blemish is a plate-sized bloom on the boot lid, which the vendors were reluctant to refinish as they wanted to retain the original paint.
