The seller offers for sale this 1957 Rolls-Royce Cloud I equipped with a 4.5-liter six-cylinder petrol engine and automatic transmission. This elegant sedan, located in the Netherlands, presents in original condition and is reported to drive perfectly. The car’s exterior looks straight and well-kept, with glossy paint and no visible corrosion or damage. Inside, the original upholstery and wood finish show natural aging but retain the authentic charm of a 1950s Rolls-Royce cabin. The engine starts without hesitation, produces no smoke or mechanical noise, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. All lighting and electrical systems are operational. The vehicle does not require a modern inspection due to its age and runs exactly as intended.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I, introduced in 1955, marked a new era for the brand with its blend of traditional craftsmanship and post-war refinement. Powered by a robust inline-six engine, it offered remarkable smoothness and quiet operation. The model’s design—characterized by its balanced proportions, flowing fenders, and stately grille—quickly became a symbol of understated luxury. Its hand-built construction, supple ride, and attention to detail made it a favorite among diplomats, celebrities, and collectors alike. Today, the Cloud I remains one of the most elegant and usable classic Rolls-Royces, combining reliability with timeless British sophistication.
