Most Silver Cloud II's received the 'Standard Steel Saloon' body, a small number of cars were sent to coachbuilders to be personally handcrafted to individual customer orders. Among them was James Young's design number SC12, a “six-light” example with rear quarter windows and a beautifully drawn rear deck. The body is fully of aluminium hand-formed by the skilled craftsmen at James Young. The car has beautiful burr walnut inserts with picnic tables recessed into the backs of the front seats along with built in vanity mirrors. Despite its size, the car has an unusually graceful, long, and elegant silhouette, and was among the most attractive designs created for the long-wheelbase Silver Cloud II. Only five examples of this design were made, two of them on left hand drive chassis; this being one of the three right hand drive examples making it a very rare car. Finished in Royal Garnet over Black and with a grey leather interior, this is a delightfully handsome Cloud II. The car has beautiful burr walnut inserts with picnic tables recessed into the backs of the front seats along with built in vanity mirrors, unusually this Rolls-Royce was built without a division. The engine runs extremely well and the gearbox operates as it should, this is a superb car to drive or be driven in. Currently on Norwegian number plates, the UK registration has been applied for. A beautiful and rare piece of British motoring history. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
