Vehicle Description
Chequered Flag International is pleased to offer this 1959 Rolls
Royce Silver Cloud I left hand drive long wheel base without
division. Finished in Mason's Black over Silver with Gray leather
interior and only 70212 miles. Sold new to Mrs. Georgiana Mahony of
Greenwhich Connecticut and later bought for the collection of Dan
Cathy president of Chick-Fil-A who owned it many years until last
month. Factory equipped with power steering. The customer supplied
leather hides for the seats which were ordered to be finished in
'plain trim' ie. without the delineated stitching they normally
come with - see build sheet. Lovely rust and accident free body
with very attractive paint. Very good original interior but the
base of the driver's seat is cracking a little. Mechanically seems
to be superb. Drives very well with good power trans steering
brakes etc. Trunk has a pretty full compliment of parts the tool
kit appears to be unused. We have the factory build history some of
which is below. These really need to be left hand drive to be good
as most right hand drive cars seem to be rough and rusty. A Cloud I
is a superior engine to a Cloud II in that it's reliable and
doesn't suffer from the rear piston issue that the early V8's have.
The LWB is great and without division is the way to go because the
front seat goes back unlike the division cars. Another plus is the
rear quarter windows open on the LWB. Really this Cloud I LWB is
the one to own. Inspections encouraged. All sales AS-IS. Sales tax
and license fees due if delivered in California. Visit Chequered
