Silver Cloud I (1957 to 1959) or II (1959 to 1962) Long Wheelbase Saloon. Can't tell which engine is fitted, 6 cyl = MkI V8 = MkII. |

I thought the small chromed grilles (well visible in the second thumbnail) identifies this as a II. |

If you mean the small grilles behind the driving lamps on each side of the radiator, these are also present on the Silver Cloud I and the Bentley S1. I have checked this most carefully. See pages 74, 75 and 114 of the book "A collector's guide to the Rolls-Royce and Bentley: Volume 1 Standard production models 1945 to 1965" by Graham Robson. ISBN 0-900549-86-6. |

Those are the grilles I mean indeed. I think to remember (but have no written info about it) that these were non-chromed but painted in the first series. |

I think we should just delete the 1 or 2 and call it a Silver Cloud Long Wheelbase Saloon. We don'tknow what retrofits the owners could have done over the years. -- Last edit: 2008-12-19 12:20:53 |
