u'd die if u saw the 1932 that walled up in a dude's house

[salvation4U]

so is that Rolls Royce silver cloud I or II? The two versions look basically the same but the RR Silver Cloud II has improved performance

Silver Cloud I

The chassis was a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. Construction retained the traditional split between chassis and body, which facilitated the provision of special bodied versions though in practice the overwhelming majority of cars were delivered with the standard steel body shell, produced by Pressed Steel, and employing light weight aluminium based alloy for the doors, bonnet/hood and boot/trunk lid.[2] The car was 5.38 m (212 in) long, 1.90 m (75 in) wide, and massed 1.95 tonnes. The engine was a 155 hp / 4000 rpm 4.9 L six-cylinder unit with inlet over exhaust valves: twin SU carburettors were added in September 1957.[3] The standard transmission was a four-speed automatic.

Brakes were hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo with 11 in (279 mm) drums and suspension was independent coils at the front and semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Twin brake master cylinders were incorporated from April 1956.[3]

Power steering became an option in 1956 along with air conditioning.

A long-wheelbase version, lengthened by 4 in (102 mm), was also made available in September 1957, outwardly very similar to the existing car, but offering improved leg space for rear-seat passengers.[2]

The British Motor magazine tested a standard-wheelbase factory-bodied Series I in 1956 recording a top speed of 102.9 mph (165.6 km/h) and acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 13.5 seconds and a fuel consumption of 14.5 miles per imperial gallon (19.5 L/100 km; 12.1 mpg-US). The test car cost £5078 including taxes.

1 mil for crooked number plates and almost loose wires in a less than stellar engine bay.

don't get me wrong...beautiful car but someone should have put a little more attention into it.

[RoTaRyBoYz]

I see those cars at co-part auction from time to time. They usually go for $25k-40k USD, depending on the condition.

allyuh see eh, is not me say it eh

[MG Man]

owner said it was all original including engine, but the seats are wrong, and the datsun bluebird steering wheel and column had me wondering

[cinco]

cant hate on a man who decides to change the seats on dem ting nah all it was before was a frame with some sponge

[MG Man]

lol I know, but they just look odd in in.......granted it's probably not a daily driver or estate mule, so why not seal the deal you stared with the exterior when u finish the interior? The bluebird steering wheel really killed it for me but still, it was nice to see it
Would have loved to see if it had the sidevalve engine tho

[bigchief3679]

Different engine choice, i will give him points for going with a 'smallblock'.
Must have been a decent challenge to fab engine mounts, its actually nice to see something like this for a change although it's still a parlour engine.

[cinco]
