The seller offers for sale a 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I featuring an automatic transmission and a 4.9 liter six-cylinder petrol engine. This elegant saloon has had three dedicated owners who carefully preserved its authenticity over the years. Originally delivered new to a Brazilian family living in Paris, the car regularly traveled between Paris and Deauville before later relocating to Nancy. The paintwork presents well overall, with good shine and consistent colour, aside from a small cosmetic crack of approximately three centimetres in one area. The interior has been restored in leather and remains in attractive condition, with functioning gauges, electric windows, and well-presented woodwork.
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I represents a defining era of British luxury motoring.

Its elegant lines, spacious interior, and understated prestige make it a timeless classic. Today, the Silver Cloud I remains highly regarded by collectors who appreciate its balance of tradition, comfort, and enduring Rolls-Royce quality.
