The Silver Cloud was an all-time classic design. Superbly proportioned, it looked even better with discreet two-tone colour schemes, as seen here. The car is a 1959 Silver Cloud II with V8 engine, but is visually identical to the earlier six-cylinder models.

The extra space was found by making the wheelbase 3 inches longer than in the Silver Dawn and by moving the engine forward in the chassis so that the passenger compartment could be longer. The best automatic gearboxes were those made in America, and so Rolls-Royce decided to buy in the Hydramatic type made by General Motors and to modify it to suit their requirements. Developing power assistance for the steering would take time and this would not be ready for the new model’s introduction, but careful suspension design would give an appropriately compliant ride without compromising the handling. The independent front suspension was also entirely redesigned as the new and much stiffer chassis took shape.
