1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1

This car was sold new in Seattle, ashington to a gentleman who lived in the Olympic Hotel for 20 years. The last 2 owners had it each about 20 years, he last being an elderly individual living in Portland, regon.

This car may be an earlypromotion car as per the picture showing British regristration SYX 706. It is a Hooper design but it reminds me more of a James Young. It is believed to bethe only onethat was built with thisbody style. (Anyone with more knowledge is greatly appreciated).

This Rolls Royce has no rust. Always a Washington State and Oregon car. The paint was done 10 years ago and still has a nice look. All the original glass is in good condition for its age. The chrome shows very well. The doors shut beautifully and all the body lines fit as they should.

The motor runs like a watch. It was told to me that the transmission was rebuiltnot many miles ago and it works just like when they were new. The electrical throughout the car appears to be in good order. The front suspension is tight as you would expect from a low mileage car. It has factory power steering which I don't believe many 1956's had.It has rare factory air-conditioningcomplete that will probably need servicing. (Should have tried turning it on).

The interior needs refreshing. The wood and leather I have received bids that surprise me how reasonable it can be done. AND it is Pebble Beach quality.

The cost to put the interior in as good as factory is about $10,000.not including installing the wood trim, itted leather, arpets and trunk pieces that are made to exact standards.This includes the complete trunk, ll thecarpeting and windlace plus all the wood and new leather.This doesn't include the door panels as I believe they are nice enough to colorbutdoes include new carpeting on the bottom of the door panels.The headliner doesn't need replacing. Any helpin this regardI wouldbe happy toassist.

The original owners manual and unused vanity set are in exceptional condition. It has all the tools in the kit and the original set of keys.

Many things with this car make it different from other Silver Clouds. Beautiful to drive and very rare.
