Is this the most perfectly designed automobile ever.....I think so.

The Silver Clouds were, in my humble opinion, the last true Rolls Royce motor car.

What an absolute beautiful example of a wonderful motor car ❤

From a time when people who could buy thes cars did not want attention. They had class and discretion. Cloud 1 straight-6 my favorite.

I was fortunate to have owned a 1955 Bentley S1 and a 1957 Rolls-Royce SC1. They were my idea of true luxury and fun to drive! At 84, I still remember the thrill of "arriving in a Royce"!

Simply stunning , elegance and grace , I adore this era of Rolls Royce.

I’ve seen plenty of KZfaq videos featuring various Silver Clouds and in my humble opinion after repairing them over the past 50 years I can state that this example is practically perfect. (Except for radial tyres, which is no bad thing)

this is my favourite era of RR...........the shape is gorgeous

I enjoyed that. What a superb original looking Cloud. I like this post 1958 final development of the six cylinder engine with its Continental cylinder head, higher compression and larger 2" Carbs. I can smell the original leather from here. Very interesting and nicely driven. Thank you Nick.

This car in the winter on long rainy dark roads, relying on your chauffeur. You on the back seat with your love under your tartan plaid, drinking whiskey from your flask untill arriving at your Scottish castle.

To me the most beautifull Rolls Royce ever , specialy the two tone collorsceme makes them look long and sleek . The dashboard is a piece off art in its own , georgious cars ! ❤

The most beautiful of the RRs IMO.

When you opened the door, I could smell the leather through my phone.

What a beauty.

Such an elegant automobile! Probably the best mid-century design in the automobile world! Thanks for sharing.

The silver cloud and the silver shadow are just stunning 😊

Beautiful, the Ultimate Rolls to me.

In my opinion this is the best model that Rolls Royce ever produced in every way, and it's this model that made me fall in love with Rolls Royce and Bentley. I first saw one in the late 1950s at Harrogate Show in Yorkshire, that was it i was smitten, and it's the model I've always wanted to own,they are simply (A HAVEN OF TRANQUILITY), it hasn't happened yet LOL, but I'm very happy with my 1980 Silver Shadow 2. This is a real beauty in every way, great presentation, and great video ,thanks for sharing and have subscribed.

Having been privileged as a child to enjoy frequent trips in a Silver Cloud lll ( my aunt ), my heart misses a beat whenever I see a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Your beautiful description is fitting - watched the video several times. Johan Minnaar South Africa.

So unbelievably more stylish and beautifull , than the modern day German tanks . To me the best ever Rolls Royce . ❤

Now, that is a car.

I never took to the twin headlamps of the later Silver Cloud. I think the mk 1 found the car at its best. If I had the money, I'd be going in search of one but the chances of finding one as original as this example are pretty slim. What a find for you!

Excellent example of a Silver Cloud. One slight error in the description is that on very early cars, a manual gearbox was available. With my 50 plus years as a Rolls Royce engineer, I have seen just the one example of a column change manual gearbox.

The very last of the great looking Rolls-Royce's.

Maybe it's because I'm ancient, but to me Rolls and Bentley from that era are still the only real "luxury" cars

An absolutely beautiful Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, however these cars were not known as a Silver Cloud 1, the reason being that when introduced in 1955, there was no anticipation of a subsequent and similar model at that time so it was simply known as the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. In 1959, Rolls Royce decided to upgrade the engine to a 6.23 litre V8 and THIS became the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 11 (and the following Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 111 in 1963). I had a friend (sadly passed away now) who owned one of the first 1959 V8's here in Australia, I believe it's untouched except for a refurbishment of the paint work - in it's original colours of two tone green (that's all I know about it at this time). Still, this is a stunning example of this era Rolls Royce which I have experienced driving from 1974 (when I was 22 years of age - yes, I AM that old!). Many MANY thanks for sharing this clip of your lovely car - by the way, it's in my favourite colours for this style, Sand over Sable. I LOVE IT! Thank you again and take care.

Back when a Rolls was really a Rolls.

Stunning Rolls Royce.

Very nice.

Methinks this is the classic of classics--stunning with its freight of memory, glamour, and nostalgia for a much more refined era...

SLG34 is as right as they come, and that’s a rare pleasure. In fact, it’s so splendid, that it is screaming for a correct set of tyres and a factory correct badge bar. Other than those two items, everything is spectacular: 1. Original Vaumol upholstery 2. Original carpet and rugs 3. Original Sand and Sable paintwork with correct lining 4. Original unblemished Hardura to the boot - that’s a rarity in itself 5. Original HMV radio 6. Factory power steering 7. Engine compartment 8. Perfect provenance With all due respect, please change to a correct set of 8.20 15 tyres or the lookalike radial with piecrust edge (either blackwall or era-correct width whitewall). Secondly, the 3-piece ‘V’ badge bar, although available during the era, is not a factory item. The factory items is a beautifully made one-piece item of a style and quality equal to the rest of this superb car.

This car is beautiful.

A symphony in motion. So much more graceful than todays ugly lump. No BMW engine under that bonnet! Sir Henry Royce would spin in his grave with todays lump.

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Such a lovely automobile! A friend of mine had a 1960 Cloud I (two tone grey) which I was fortunate enough to drive occasionally and I agree with what you say about the "smell"-- nothing can describe that wonderful scent! You're spot on about seeing the Spirit of Ecstasy when driving-- my friend referred to her as his "guide"... many thanks for bringing back good memories for me!

I’m not normally a fan of any shade of brown or cream in or on a car,but I do make exceptions for these amazing cars 😀

Très très chic 👌

Magnificent motorcar

Wonderful cruising - and no bother with a seat-belt - those were the days!

7:15 Yes, you can buy this level of originality if the car is for sale.

A magnificent automobile!

Wonderful.

I think this is the peak of Rolls Royce as a brand. There is something special about a big inline 6 cylinder engine engine which a V8 cannot replicate. A part of me wish that Rolls Royce instead of developing the V8 would have contacted Bosch and purchased the right to the same fuel injection system as used by Mercedes Benz in their Adenauer 300 and used it on their inline six. Maybe a call to Peugeot regarding using their thermostatically controlled electric fan for the cooling system would also have been a good idea 🤔

You can spend stupid money on your fall apart at the first speed bump on a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren but if you're wise and have taste then you could buy one of these and turn up on a Scottish moor and ho shooting on Monday and still drive into Cannes on Tuesday evening and stop the traffic.

Elegant.... Class.....all!

Who remembers the female voice whispering sexily, “It’s Burke’s Law,” back in the Sixties?

je rêve de cette version, elle est intemporel, elle traverse toute les époques, elle ne vieillis jamais,. toutes ses voitures modernes de luxes dernier crie ainsi que les Rolls d'aujourd'hui ne peuvent rivaliser avec sa sœur des années 50 dans mon esprit, parce qu'elle est facile a vivre pour le sourire qu'elle peut susciter chez les gens qui vous abordent amicalement sur cette Silver Cloud qui efface la forme ostentatoire du paraître comme le font tout les peignes culs des grosses cylindrés. la Rolls Shadow des années 70 reste aussi intemporel mais compliqué à entretenir, sauf que la passion dans posséder une est un plaisir de la bichonner. Posséder une Rolls ancienne est un état d'esprit dans le gout de l'Art de vivre sans vulgarité;

She’s a beauty

Dieses Auto ist wirklich der absolute Traun. Ich liebe diese Autos. LG. Aus Deutschland

Beautiful car one of my favourites in some ways I prefer the Bentley version.

This is what a car should be from Rolls Royce. The modern cars are very well built as usual. Very.. very expensive, but look like many other modern large cars They should put traditional style, with modern technology back on the road. After all.. Roller

Better than the Mercedes knock off they have now for 300,000

We were at a club lunch, Wifie and I . I was talking to a gentleman on my left about buying his Shadow . The gentleman next to Wifie said he was selling his '59 Cloud !!!! I bought the Shadow.

Proper car

When BMW took over Rolls Royce they completely 'lost the plot' Going the same way as Mercedes which tried desperately to imitate BMW and so too lost their exclusive identity. Speed and insane acceleration numbers is a very tiny part of driver satisfaction.

Viva la excelencia

Grande classe e eleganza

Mon modèle favori a piece of art, merci pour cette ballade, les commentaires intéressants, bonne vidéo, je regarde si je peux casser mon cochon tirelire ; -)

What a lovely car. You should be very proud. If only they had put that proven straight 6 engine in the Shadow. One of the down falls of Rolls Royce is that they today are probably no more reliable than a good Japanese car. Some things are necessary but other things are not. Kiss.

hope your well sir what a car brilliant would love to go flying with you as well one day

LOL......driving an absolute priceless Rolls, yet you spend most of the time driving it whilst talking and looking at the camera..... thats balls right there 🤣

"As they should be" if owners had the finances and the inclination to keep them as this one has been cared for. With weathered paint and cracked leather, they do not look the part.

Wow

Que bellesa

The ads for these with their pictures showing the Cloud in incongruously middle-class, typically-American environs and wall-of-text sales pitch ("the loudest sound at 60 mph is the clock ticking" and pitching the lack of annual styling changes as a plus in the exact same way VW did at the other end of the market) are as classic as the car itself.

When a rolls was an elegant piece of engineering art. Now they look like a pimp motor.

Although version *III* was the last, it's a pity it didn't advance to Silver Cloud *IX* ! 😉

When these were built, some people were still struggling to build a mud hut with a grass roof.

It is a lovely example, and I'm told the six was much more reliable than the later V8 engines. But best in the world? A 1956 Cadillac came with Hydramatic, power steering and brakes standard. The Cadillac had a powerful and reliable 6.2 liter V8. You could have power windows, seats, locks, and air conditioning. And almost 70 years later, that same Cadillac would be more than capable of driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas quietly and comfortably. The same can be said of Chryslers of that period. Rolls built beautiful cars, but at three times the price.

Your turn Goldfinger... Golf is not yet the national pastime in Korea!

IF I ONLY HAD THE MONEY.

A low mileage, stunning Rolls Royce. Our wedding car in the 1990s was one of these in dark blue.

El rolling stones Brian Jones tenía uno.

They are beautiful cars; very sad that the steering wheel is on the right side.

There is no Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I, it's a Silver Cloud. And then came the II and the III. Same for Rocky, Rambo or Superman movies...

L though I recognised roads around Malton.

Peace be upon you, please, I would like to contact you dear

How much would I have to pay for such car as I'm in the market

MAY NOT BE comments -- Rolls - Royce is Rolls - Royce . .

🍕

Rolls-Royce died in the 1970s. What they make today is just a hollow shell bearing its name. The formless, high-tech abominations produced by BMW are an insult to a glorious legacy.

I immediately stopped watching when i saw that Rolls and Royce didn't have the ever present HYPHEN,!., SHAMELESS MISTAKE,!👎👎👎👎👎👎

nad now bmw makes them? :D least reliable car maker?

EQUISITE

I owned a Rolls- Royce Silver Shadow. Mercedes- Benz W 126 is the best. Period. 👍😄😞

"This model can trace it's origins..." * its

Unfortunately it's a manual.

love to own it = then fuel injection and twin turbo = in a sneaky installation - may be rear mounted !

I owned a 1972 corniche coupe for 8 years, a daily driver. I loved that car but had to sell but got back all my money, $35,000 in 1984, that says alot for the Brand. I tried buy an 1959 sliver Could but was repeatedly overbid (crook/shills) Now, I just drive electric eccentric cars for fun. Cars are our history from Henry Ford to today. Is is a shame to make them politcal footballs for the DUMB ASS CRATS TO F UP
