About this car

The Silver Cloud II was the point at which Rolls-Royce moved to a V8 engine, and this 1960 car carries the earlier single-headlight body, before the quad-lamp look of the Silver Cloud III. The page describes it as one of only a handful of such cars left.

It shows 87,000 miles and was first registered in June 1960. The seller says it was previously owned by Engelbert Humperdinck, and that the leather and the car generally have a heavy patina.

The seller is open about its condition: the differential needs attention and the steering wanders a little. It has been with the current owner for only a few months, so it suits a buyer ready to do some recommissioning work.
