Lot 066: 1961 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD II

Finished in dark blue with contrasting light blue leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. The subject of an extensive cosmetic restoration by renowned coachbuilder Wilkinson & Son since entering the current ownership some ten years ago, '82 DGB' is seemingly free from the unsightly bubbling and blistering that blights so many of its surviving brethren. Benefiting from factory-fitted power-assisted steering (as do all Cloud IIs), it is said to have provided faithful service on various tours through France and Cornwall etc. Retaining its original buff logbook, '82 DGB' is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until July 2007 and historic class (free) road tax until June 2007.
