This is a gorgeous example of the rare and desirable 1960
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II HJ Mulliner Drophead Coupe. This is one
of only 74 original drophead coupes made over the three-year
production run of Silver Cloud II's. This is a 37,590-mile example
that has been restored over the past three years. It is also unique
in its present configuration with the Carriage House adaptation of
the traditional Lucas R-100 headlights and a unique continental
kit. This is truly a unique opportunity to enjoy a beautiful
Drophead. This was ordered by the New York-based Inskip on
September 30, 1959, and assigned chassis no. LSRA19 and engine no.
172AS to be a US delivery HJ Mulliner Drophead Coupe. Special
Heavy-Duty frames were used for the convertibles as specified on
the build sheet. The Rolls-Royce was delivered to HJ Mulliner to
commence the adaptation to the coveted drophead coupe. The
completed car was shipped from London to New York on February 20,
1960, aboard the "Benny Skou". Mr. Oliver D Appleton of Mt. Kisco,
NY received the Rolls on May 4, 1960. By July 13, 1976, the Rolls
was acquired by Carriage House in Manhattan, NY. Carriage House was
a renowned Rolls-Royce dealer that made custom bespoke
modifications to cars on behalf of its clients. Many celebrities
had such modifications made and these examples are rare and
desired. Carriage House installed the classic Lucas R-100
headlights, and a custom rear mounted spare tire. Classic Promenade
acquired LSRA19 on September 1, 2021, and commenced a restoration.
It was obvious that the Rolls had 37,000 original miles, but it had
been repainted with two tone exterior and interior and required
refreshening. We commenced a bare metal repaint in its original
Masons Black (Paint Code 501) and added the original Deep Red
pinstriping. The black paint is gorgeous with mirror like shine and
finish. The black Everflex power convertible top is in very nice
condition and is stored under a Black top boot cover. There were no
needed rust repairs as the body and undercarriage were rust free.
As per its original specification, new wide white wall tires were
sourced. There is a flag mast under the flying lady mascot that can
accommodate a flag. The interior is presented in Special Red
Leather, as per its original specification, which was installed in
2024. The leather is gorgeous and is complimented by its
beautifully refinished burl walnut and new matching Red Wilton wool
carpeting. This Rolls has its original dealer installed air
conditioning and its original AM/FM stereo. The interior is
beautiful and stunning next to the Masons Black livery. The engine
and engine compartment are beautifully detailed. The venerable
6.2-liter V8 has wonderful power and is very quiet and smooth. The
four speed automatic transmission shifts well through the gears and
delivers the power effortlessly. All servicing and rebuilding of
components has been performed as needed. The Drophead comes
complete with its large and small tools, original owner's handbook
and original factory records and documentation. All instruments
work as they should, including the clock and stereo. This Silver
Cloud was ordered with power steering and electric windows. The
three-year restoration is in its final punch list finishing
