The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1 was designed by J P Blatchley and was introduced in 1955 heralding a major change from the pre-war models and the highly derivative Silver Dawn. As part of a range rationalisation the Bentley S1 is very similar, apart from its radiator grille.
The chassis was a simple steel box section, welded together and very rigid. Construction retained the traditional split between chassis and body, allowing the facility for specialised body builders though the overwhelmiing majhority came with the standard body by Pressed Steel employing light weight aluminium based alloy for the doors, bonnet and boot.
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. The standard transmission was a four-speed automatic. Brakes were hydraulic and assisted by the Rolls-Royce mechanical servo with 11 in 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.
The Silver Cloud 1 was replaced during 1959 by the Silver Cloud II simular in appearance but updated with a 6230cc V8 OHV engine, power steering and four-speed Hydramatic transmission and optional air conditioning, Rolls Royce were always reluctant to quote performance figures for any oi their cars, but this vehicles maximum speed is around 115mph
