This 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II LWB Saloon with Division is a
US delivered factory left-hand drive example and one of only 98
produced in this body configuration. This Rolls is very well
equipped with factory installed rear air conditioning, power
steering, power windows, and power division window. The exterior is
Smoke Green paired with a blue-grey interior with burl walnut
woodwork throughout. The Silver Cloud II is powered by its original
6.2L V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The rare
Silver Cloud II is in overall fair condition that will be a
desirable Rolls after further cosmetic and mechanical
recommissioning. This Silver Cloud II was ordered new by Mrs. M.W.
Runnells through Rolls-Royces American distributor J.S. Inskip and
delivered to her in Chicago, Illinois in May 1960. Her address was
919 N. Michigan Avenue. Her building was known as The Palmolive
Building, but from the mid-1960s through to the late 1980s, better
known as the Playboy Building, where Hugh Hefners publishing
business was based. The Silver Cloud was delivered with a full
chauffeur specification that included the factory glass division,
rear air conditioning, power steering, Sundym tinted glass
throughout, and electrically operated windows on all four doors
plus the division glass itself. The owners initials, M.W.R., were
inscribed on each front door. The Rolls-Royce Owners Club records
chart later owners as George Huguely of Washington D.C. in June
1967, and Leonard Horwich in 1972. A Department of Defense
admission sticker on the bumper dates to 1979. The current owner
acquired the Silver Cloud II in 2022 and has since brought the
Rolls-Royce to starting, driving, and stopping condition. The
exterior of the Silver Cloud II is finished in Smoke Green, and the
paint is in overall fair condition. The brightwork is in overall
good condition with age-appropriate patina from normal use. The
Spirit of Ecstasy mascot is in great condition with crisp,
well-defined features, and the radiator brightwork is in great
condition. The Silver Cloud is equipped with headlights, parking
lamps, fog lamps, taillights, and functioning windshield wipers.
This Silver Cloud II has both fender-mounted mirrors and dual
mirrors. The glass is in overall good condition showing minor wear.
The Silver Cloud has green matching wheel covers, and the tires
will require replacement prior to extended driving. As a Coker Tire
dealer, we are happy to assist the next owner with recommendations.
The interior of the Silver Cloud II is blue-gray which highlights
the Walnut Burl woodwork throughout and is in overall fair
condition. In the front drivers compartment, the blue-gray leather
seats are in overall good condition with only minimal cracking
consistent with age. The Walnut burl dashboard woodwork is in good
condition. The door panels are in good condition overall, while the
door caps, armrests, and carpeting have specific areas that are in
fair condition. Features include Smiths gauges, power windows, a
working clock, an aftermarket Sony radio and factory power division
window that is currently not functional. The rear passenger
compartment features division woodwork and rear folding picnic
tables that are in good condition. The blue-gray broadcloth
upholstery is in overall good condition with minor small
perforations noted. The rear door panels are in fair condition and
the headliner is in good condition. This Silver Cloud II has a dome
light and the rear reading and vanity lights are inoperative. The
original factory rear boot air conditioning system is present but
currently not operational. The interior is fitted with all the
desirable features that long wheelbases are known for and is
incredibly comfortable. This Silver Cloud II has a great foundation
to build off of for further restoration to be ready for shows and
touring. The Silver Cloud II is powered by the original 6.2L V8
with twin SU carburetors paired with a four-speed GM Hydramatic
transmission. The Silver Cloud starts both cold and warm, able to
drive and the servo-assisted braking system is functional but will
require servicing before regular driving use. The oil pressure and
operating temperatures are very good and the engine operates well.
A new battery was installed in April 2026. This Silver Cloud II is
best described as a project Rolls that can be easily a rolling
project or an excellent candidate for further restoration. The
Rolls is sold AS-IS. Included are build records, service records, a
clean Arizona title, select tools, and the wheel-mounted spare
stored in the trunk. For more information and details, please call
