For Sale: 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I (chassis no: SMH137)This saloon is a mechanically superb, well documented, RHD w/ AC example that is currently located in Sarasota, Florida. I am asking $40,000 USD firm.The build sheets for this Jack Barclay car indicate that it was ordered for the Honorable Sir Gilbert Paul, a judge in the UK. It is a highly optioned car with the "Special Feature" section of the original build sheet filled beyond capacity! The current silver/caribbean blue color combo are non-original colors (Bentley colors, actually), but they are 100% certain to turn heads! The restoration was done in the 80s or 90s, but has held up VERY WELL over time. I am told that the paint was hand rubbed lacquer performed by Terry Fitch (Fitz?).The Cloud was imported into the USA by Joseph Mandolfo of Omaha, NE...who restored it, then sold it to Doug Peterson, also of Omaha. I bought the Cloud from Mr. Peterson.I have been the owner since May 2018 and have invested $50,000 (documented) into making this Cloud purr like a kitten. Recent mechanical work includes:Note: Master Rolls-Royce mechanics at JB Imports in St. Pete, FL performed the vast majority of the work above, and will tell you that this is the smoothest running RR six cylinder that they've every had!Beyond the mechanical work...I also restored the dash (Hoyt's in Sarasota, FL), recovered the front seat cushions, and recovered the sun visors and the rear handles/assist straps (all leather from Hilborn Motor Car Interiors).I recently drove this Cloud for four hours while in Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was PERFECT! This Rolls-Royce is 100% RROC/RREC-tour ready!If this Cloud does not sell for $40k by end of month, it is going on BAT or eBay in a no reserve format!I am selling as I recently moved into a home that does not have the garage space necessary for my vintage car collection. My loss is your gain.I have a binder full of documentation, including the original build sheets. I also have many more photos and videos, which I would be happy to share with serious buyers.
