For Sale: 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II in Katwijk, Netherlands

**Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II - Timeless Perfection in As-New Condition** The name Rolls-Royce is a worldwide byword for unrivalled luxury, craftsmanship and engineering perfection. Since its founding in 1904, the marque has built a reputation as the maker of the most prestigious motor cars on earth. With models frequently described as "the best car in the world", Rolls-Royce carved out a unique position at the very pinnacle of the automotive world. The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, introduced in 1959, marked a significant step forward within the model range. Where the first Silver Cloud still relied on a straight-six engine, the Silver Cloud II received an all-new, powerful 6.2 litre V8. This delivered considerably better performance while preserving that signature silk-smooth ride. The Silver Cloud II was built until 1962 and is regarded by connoisseurs as one of the most elegant and technically refined classic Rolls-Royces. The combination of classic lines, a hand-built body and modern engineering (for its day) makes this model a highly sought-after collector's piece. **An exceptionally restored example** The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II we are offering, dating from February 1969, is in absolutely as-new condition and ranks among the very finest currently available on the market.
