1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II

This 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II is a left-hand-drive four-door sedan finished in dark blue over light blue leather upholstery. Power to the rear wheels comes from a 6.2-liter V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Additional equipment includes rear seat trays, steel wheels with polished and painted covers, a CB radio, a Kenwood cassette stereo, and a CD changer. Service performed under current ownership reportedly included replacing the steering arm. The car was acquired by the seller in 2020, and is said to have spent time in New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. This Silver Cloud is offered with Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.

The J.P. Blatchley-designed body was manufactured by the Pressed Steel Company and features an aluminum-alloy hood, doors, and trunk lid. This example was factory finished in Midnight Blue before being painted a different color and subsequently repainted Midnight Blue under previous ownership. Exterior features include a Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament, a retractable antenna, chrome side mirrors, and twin front driving lamps.

A black three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a woodgrain dashboard housing a reverse-sweep 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 30k miles, approximately 200 of which have been added during current ownership.
