Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 1 (1955-59) Engine 4887cc S6 IOE Production 2231 (plus 121 Silver Cloud 1 LWB)

Designed by J. P. Blatchley the Silver Cloud, was 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

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is an automobile produced by Rolls-Royce Limited from April 1955 to March 1966. It was the core model of the Rolls-Royce range during that period. The Silver Cloud replaced the Silver Dawn and was, in turn, replaced by the Silver Shadow. The J. P. Blatchley design was 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 Silver Cloud III arrived in 1963. External dimensions were slightly tweaked, the interior remodelled, and the weight reduced by a little over 100 kg
The engine was improved with the addition of 2 inch SU Carburettors, replacing the 1.75 inch units of the Silver Cloud and compression ratio was increased. The transmission was a GM Hydramatic which Rolls-Royce used under licence.
The Silver Cloud III is distinguished by its quad headlamp being the main differance from the Series II. Other external changes included a slightly increased slope of the bonnet, o correspond with a 1 1⁄2 inches reduction to the radiator grille.
As with earlier models, Rolls-Royce continued to make the Silver Cloud chassis available to traditional coachbuilders. A notable version is the Fixed Head and Drop Head Coupe styled by Mulliner Park Ward, having unusual slanted (Chinese) headlights. also found on contemporary Italian designed or Italian-influenced high performance cars from Lancia, Triumph, Lagonda and Gordon-Keeble. It was derived from the earlier Park Ward design for the Bentley S1 and S2 Continentals, Some 100 of the 328 coach-built Silver Cloud IIIs were of this style.

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 lid.
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, giving atop speed of just over 100mph
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, when power steering and air conditioning became an option.

Travelling Northbound on the M5 at Burlescombe is SS13LSS, a VanHool TX17 Acron from the fleet of Coatbridge based Silvercloud Travel. The vehicle carries Leger Silver Service contract livery.
New to Ashton, St. Helens in September 2013 as SA63ASH. The vehicle later saw service with Hatton, St. Helens and Reays, Wigton prior to joining the fleet of its current operator.

MRL's Silver Cloud gets wyed at Garrison for the return leg to Missoula of a post winter storage shakedown run.
Parked between tours is McMurray of Coatbridge Van Hool TX17 Acron SS13LSS.
New to Ashton, St Helens as SA63ASH in Leger Holidays Silver Service livery it passed to Hatton, St Helens in 2014 before joining Reay of Wigton in 2015. It passed in early 217 to McMurray for continuance on Leger Holidays work.

Strange that the vehicle has only been updated by six months!
