Condition
8
The car was restored in 1995 and won several awards after the restoration, and was displayed at a Rolls-Royce museum. The description mentions the quality of the restoration. However, it is now almost 30 years after the restoration, and the service was 6 months ago, so it is not 'Pristine' or 'Outstanding'. There is no mention of needing reconditioning.

Launched in April 1955, the Silver Cloud was based on a completely new closed box-section frame that was reputedly fifty percent stiffer than that of the outgoing Silver Dawn.
The newcomer's elegant Standard Steel Saloon body was penned by in-house designer John Polwhele Blatchley, the proportions of which belied its considerable overall length of 17ft 8in.
Though the retention of a separate chassis allowed for the production of bespoke coachwork, all but 157 of the 2,360 Cloud Is produced featured the in-house offering.
Powered by an alloy-headed, 4887cc straight-six engine mated to 4-speed automatic transmission, the model utilised servo-assisted drum brakes all-round.
The suspension was independent with coil springs at the front and featured a live axle hung on semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear.
Changes introduced in 1956 included the incorporation of twin brake master cylinders and the options of power steering and air conditioning.
