True! You had better meet all the criteria they expect in order to be worthy of Rolls ownership - financially $$$$ sound, overall individual status, pass the various background checks, where living neighborhood, etc. In other words you'd better have the bucks, fame, proper background, and power before they will even talk to you! www.thethings.com/things-rolls-royce-owners-have-to-follow/
I had the honour of being photographed by Trix (Trixta Silvercloud) for the January Issue of Attention Magazine. I truly am in love with this shot thank you so much Trix ♥

Before you read the history below you might want to take note of the mascot when you zoom in. You also can see it here: flic.kr/p/2pWdC2H but it was the last year before Rolls Royce went forward with the Spirit of Ecstasy, that was modeled after Eleanor Velasco Thornton by artist sculptor Charles Sykes. And it was that one, the Spirit of Ecstasy, that remained on the hoods/grill surrounds for decades after. Now onto some history:
Formally established in 1906, it is remarkable how quickly Rolls-Royce Limited gained a reputation for superlatively built cars—and how readily the Rolls-Royce name was adopted as a byword for quality in other consumer goods, from motorcycles to home appliances. This enduring legacy was built on the Silver Ghost, which debuted in 1906 and was officially designated the 40/50 HP in reference to the output of its quiet-running 7,036-cubic-centimeter side-valve inline-six.
Carefully engineered and overbuilt by design, the Silver Ghost was soon judged by the contemporary motoring press to be “the best car in the world.” The 40/50 HP quickly proved itself on rallies and endurance runs of all lengths and around the globe; as further evidence of their robustness, Silver Ghosts would serve with distinction during World War I, when many were converted into armored cars.
This Rolls-Royce, chassis number 1175, was built with a much more genteel purpose in mind. As noted in the original build sheet (a copy of which is on file) and confirmed in The Edwardian Rolls-Royce by John Fasal and Bryan Goodman, this Silver Ghost was ordered by an H. Trimmer of Twyford, Hampshire, England in August 1909; Rolls-Royce completed the chassis prior to the end of the year. Fitment of an imposing, Barker-built Landaulet took a bit longer, however, and Mr. Trimmer would not take delivery of the finished car until February 1910.
Although much of this dignified car’s subsequent history is presently unknown, the Silver Ghost passed through two additional recorded English owners by the early 1950s, after which it was exported to the United States. It then disappeared from the public eye, remaining out of sight for decades.
In 2017, chassis 1175 was acquired by the consignor, sans bodywork, from Steve Littin—proprietor of Vintage & Auto Rebuilds of Chardon, Ohio, and an internationally recognized authority on early Rolls-Royces. The car’s new owner, a businessman, restorer, and vintage motorcar enthusiast well-known on the West Coast, clearly recognized the potential of this rare Silver Ghost. With nearly a dozen Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance showings under his belt, he also recognized that any new body constructed for it would need to be both stylish and executed to the highest standards.
After consulting Littin’s archives of vintage drawings and photographs, he selected another elegant Barker design, one worthy of this mighty chassis: The famous “Roi des Belges” phaeton.
A REMARKABLE ROI DES BELGES
Initially fitted to a Panhard et Levassor owned by Leopold II, King of Belgium at the turn of the 20th century, the so-called “Roi des Belges” body style was eventually adopted by a number of coachbuilders and adapted for a range of fine chassis. But the design, sometimes called the “tulip phaeton” on account of its curved seats, was particularly well-suited to the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. Indeed, the design is today perhaps most closely associated with the 40/50 HP by modern enthusiasts.
The majority of this Silver Ghost’s restoration, including the construction of the bodywork and belly pans, was handled by the consignor’s extremely capable in-house shop. Photos on file show the intricate wooden body framework, as well as the hand-formed metal bodywork with the Roi des Belges’ signature tulip curves; once fitted to the body, this was finished in a handsome slate gray, with the hood and cowl left in striking polished aluminum—all the better to highlight the “parallel bonnet” configuration characteristic of early Silver Ghosts. Much of the machine work and the sourcing of correct parts was performed by Vintage & Auto Rebuilds, with other Rolls-Royce suppliers and specialists enlisted as needed. The car’s Lucas lamps were purchased from UK-based supplier Genius of the Lamp.
Following the completion of the restoration in 2021, the reborn Silver Ghost was shown at the 2022 Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club meet in San Diego, California, where it was met with acclaim. It is not difficult to see why: Massive in size yet elegant in proportion, this car is also resplendent with details inside and out. In addition to its polished Lucas lamps, including “King of the Road” cowl units, the gleaming dashboard is equipped with a rare Elliott Brothers dual speedometer/odometer, as well as a Tiffany & Co. clock.

1961 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
History of the 1959-1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II was introduced in October 1959, and was the first Rolls-Royce model to exceed Bentley in production numbers, with 2,716 built between 1959 and 1962; 299 of these rode the long wheelbase chassis. The car was also the first to utilize Rolls-Royce’s aluminum, 6.2-liter, 230-hp V-8 engine which had been in the planning stages since 1947. The introduction was so significant that the engine itself was displayed with the new Rolls-Royces at the London Motor Show.
The Motor published an extensive road test of the new Silver Cloud II, with the subhead, “Effortless speed and extreme quietness with a new V-8 engine.” In September 1960, Road & Track reported, “it is a pleasure to report that there is still a company in business dedicated to the task of producing the best car in the world, regardless of cost.”
The Silver Cloud’s new V-8 engine replaced the venerable straight-six, which was originally introduced in 1907 and fitted to the Silver Ghost. The new V-8 provided about 30 percent more horsepower and cruising speed was increased by raising the rear axle ratio. Fuel consumption dropped from 16 mpg on the six-cylinder cars, to about 10 mpg on the new V-8. Chassis lubrication intervals were increased to 10,000 miles as the former one-shot “Bijur” pedal pump system was replaced by 21 grease gun fittings.
The Silver Cloud III series was the last of the popular Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud series. The Silver Cloud I and II (and Bentley S1 and S2) from 1955 to 1961, shared the same standard body, but when the SCIII was introduced in 1962, contemporary trends modified the design. Most obvious were four headlights, a lower hood and radiator shell, and smaller bumpers. The interior was less pre-WWII in design, with a new padded rail above the dash, separate front seats (which was formerly a single bench seat) and more leg room front and back.
The V-8 continued in the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III launch, with a higher 9:1 compression ratio, and two-inch carburetors. This resulted in 246 hp, a 0-60 time of 10.8 seconds, and a top speed of 115 mph. Mainly courtesy of these performance enhancements and the more spacious interior, the Silver Cloud III is often regarded as the finest model of the series.
Rolls-Royce produced 2,044 SCIIIs, plus 253 with the long wheelbase chassis. By 1965 Rolls-Royce could still build the Cloud chassis and engine, but could no longer obtain the standard steel bodies, as the Silver Shadow was taking over the production lines. When early Shadow production was delayed, Rolls-Royce created a new series of coachbuilt cars on Cloud chassis.
By 1966, Rolls-Royce had merged its two coachbuilding acquisitions, Park Ward and HJ Mulliner, into one. The successful mid-1950s Mulliner Park Ward fixed head coupe was re-designed into a drophead coupe, and became an instant hit. Production continued with this new car until March 1966, well after the Cloud series officially ceased production in 1965.
The Silver Cloud models signaled the end of the coachbuilt period, as Rolls-Royce found it could sell 10 times as many cars with “standard steel bodies.” Custom Rolls-Royces were occasionally built after 1970, but by then the company had predominantly taken the path it is following today. These coachbuilt Silver Clouds are extremely desirable today as a result.
Rolls-Royce records are remarkably complete and any purchase should have full history and service records on file. Also make sure to have qualified mechanic lined up to maintain any Rolls-Royce purchase. Once everything is in order, a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud rewards the owner with the height of luxury from its era. It also stands up as a competent and capable car by today’s standards, only it does so with an elegance that is unique to its day.
