    I just read about the history of the car on your website. How touching! I do hope the next custodian (as you so beautifully describe it) will treat the car with the same respect as the Misters C have done. And thank you for all the wonderful work you did to the car, which will ensure it will, in the good hands, be as beautiful in 20 years as it is now! Many thanks for the video.

      😱 What I fear most, is depending on what country this classic Rolls_Royce goes to. The next owner might decide to electrify it , there by 😔 sadly destroying it !...

    The Silver Cloud I-III are my all time favorite Rolls. When I think of ROLLS-ROYCE, these are the cars I think of.

      Exactly right. I couldn't agree with you more. John Blatchley got the look just right. Many thanks.

    Absolutely incredible, a delight to see one of the best cars produced in its day, and probably putting many modern cars to shame today. Top quality craftsmanship and engineering. When the term Quality actually meant something. All hand made! You will never get this sort of car built again.

      What a stunningly beautiful example! A credit to its current custodian. One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Every inch of it says top quality. Why are the modern Royce's so ugly?

    Phenomenal vehicle, truly mind blowing condition and just oozes class! That's even before one considers the astonishingly long ownership. I love the colour scheme, the two tone sophisticated black and grey and the tasteful green leather against the (burr walnut?) dashboard and door capping with delightful veneer inlays. If it is hasn't been renovated at some point then it truly is astonishing. Nay, even if it has been worked on, it is still a tremendous piece of classic history and certainly far more desirable than many brand new prestige vehicles which have no soul or character, instead they're loaded with afterthought ipads plonked precariously. The fridge magnet sold me! Thank you for the detailed walk around! 👍

    fabulous, love the green interior. People had taste in those days, not like later models with pale unusauble shades of cream. The equal best colour in my mind is tan ,then dark blue and red.
    You have wonderful cars!

    The only Rolls that I have ridden in was the Mark 1, a six-cylinder engine. They are timeless, and will never be repeated. They frequently outlive their Custodians! With the Moth Damage, I would be buying some wool, dyeing it green. With a Sail Needle, that carpet can be re-tufted and trimmed to a point where it would be invisible. It would be my first challenge - if I owned the car. Greetings from Australia.

    • @duncan-ellison
      @duncan-ellison  23 дні тому +1

      Greetings to you. I could but I have deliberately left the interior untouched as I feel that this Cloud almost "stands alone" in that regard. They're only original once, as they say. Thanks for your suggestion though and for watching.

    Engine bay appears nice and clean and detailed with silicon brake fluid too ! Nothing worse that a tatty engine bay. I run silicon fluid in my 51 standard bodied MK VI, and it's been great !

    • @duncan-ellison
      @duncan-ellison  10 днів тому

      Appreciate your sentiments. It's good to hear that you've had good results with Dot 5 silicone brake fluid. May I ask if you have had it installed for some time? I'm interested in hearing any longer term reports on this fluid regarding its corrosion protection properties and anti seize nature.Thanks for watching.

    This car needs to be preserved and who better than rolls Royce at Goodwood it could be used as a sales pitch and how good the product is

    Look at that oil pressure coming up . . . . and . . . . look at the fuel gauge going down. . . ha haha ha ha

    It's in better condition than me . . . and we are the same age.

    Thanks great video and great car. In 1960 sure RR were fast relative to mundane B series engined Nuffield grp cars, but a Mark 2 3.8 Jag would have blown the doors off it. I love these cars by the way and occasionally was given a lift in one to school (along with the likes of mk2 jgs, 420g's) trust me the Jags were quicker.

    • @duncan-ellison
      @duncan-ellison  18 днів тому

      Great comment. Yes of coarse you're right. I love the MK2 Jaguar I think it was the most handsome car ever made bar none, and a cleverer design than the Cloud. As you will know, the MK2 3.8 was the fastest 4 door saloon on the road in its day and dominated the race track until 1963. Not forgetting the Monza Speed bowl record too. I have 4 Mk2's in storage . Please check out my previous sales page to see a few of the MK2's we've owned over the decades. We like the same cars. Thanks for watching.

      You're both correct. The top half is Black Pearl metallic and the lower half is Masons Black non metallic. A win win. "Blessed are the peacemakers". You can see some dust on the surface when I was close up. Hope that helps. Best wishes.
