Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
In the 1960s, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II epitomized luxury and innovation, succeeding its predecessor with a robust 6.2-liter V8 engine and modern amenities like power brakes, steering, radio, and climate control. Among the 2,717 Silver Cloud II chassis produced, the 299 long wheelbase models stood out as rare gems, featuring extended bodywork for added comfort and style. The bespoke nature of these cars is characterized by their typical high level of appointment and is distinguishable by its incorporation of the rear quarter window into the C-pillar. Enthusiasts and collectors were captivated by its regal appearance and superior craftsmanship, making it a coveted icon during its notable four-year production span.
