1962 | Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II

Chassis number LCC.45 is one of the very rare, desirable LWB James Young aluminium bodied Rolls Royce Silver Cloud's. The chassis was delivered to James Young Coachbuilders on the 22nd August 1961 and the car was delivered by Jack Barclay Ltd to its first owner, Heritable & General Investment Bank Ltd, London on 9th March 1962, also of Berkeley Square, W1. The Rolls Royce was supplied in Tudor Grey with Beige leather, power assisted steering and division.

The Rolls Royce returned to the UK in 1988 having been kept in lovely, original condition as expected when participating in club events. The Rolls Royce first arrived with us having covered 58000 miles from new and having been very well maintained, was able to cover a faultless 800 mile round trip to the West Coast of Scotland. The Rolls Royce was then put through a program of cosmetic work that included completely re-trimming the upholstery and taking the car to a truly exceptional standard. With new carpets, headlining, re-trimmed door cards and top class leather used for re-trimming the seats, the interior is wonderful still retaining beautiful woodwork.

Recent mechanical and electrical work includes servicing the car and re-tempering the rear springs, new window motors, overhauling the brakes and a new full set of tyres have been fitted ahead of selling to its most recent owner in Surrey. The last owners family enjoyed taking the Rolls Royce to the 2025 Goodwood Revival with the Silver Cloud parked proudly on the famous Lavant Bank. Having been driven and enjoyed for numerous special occasions, the Rolls Royce returns to us on the button and ready for its next adventure.

On the road OSU 116 is fabulous with a superb ride and excellent brakes. The engine performs faultlessly and runs beautifully holding particularly good oil pressure. The gears change up and down smoothly, the performance is impressive, and the car offers a wonderful driving experience. OSU 116 presents beautifully with an exceptional, lovely deep paint finish, excellent straight body panels, deep, bright chromework and the upholstery is first class having been re-trimmed to a very high standard.
