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 !...
That's fantastic. We will soon be approaching the "mothballing" time of year. The chrome will need oiling and so forth. Could be a nice job for you? Thanks for your great and kind comment and glad you like this beautiful design.

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! 👍
That's very nice of you to say so. Yes I think it's a lovely colour scheme too. You have great taste if I may say so. Thank you so much for your very encouraging comments.
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.
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.
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 I know there are different techniques today as to then but what a piece of history
Sorry to tell you that B.M.W at Goodwood ,.I refuse to call them Rolls_Royce. Would want absolutely nothing to do with this old -school car !. RIP Rolls_Royce Rolls_Royce 1904 - 2002.......😢
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 !
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.
@@duncan-ellison It's been in my car for many years and I've had no problems, there's no seeping out of the master cylinder from failing seals. The best thing about it is that it's not hygroscopic, so if you keep any car in an unheated garage any water vapour that makes its way into the system from the seasons heating and cooling the air, it doesn't really effect the system _ un-like alcohol based systems. My 340 Jaguar is a different story, the end seal inside the remote vacuum servo went very quickly causing an internal leak, I have yet to get in there and repair it. Manufactures don't seem to make their seals compatible with DOT 5, or at least they won't take the responsibility when asked; with one expectation, and that has been Introcar, they came right out and said their seals were compatible with everything. To answer your question, a fluid that does not absorb water, does not pose problems of corrosion and seizing upon a system, it's the seal compatibility that's the problem. I have a new set of seals for the Jag that I've had soaking in DOT5 for well over a year, and they appear to be fine. They have not swollen and turned to mush or have gone rock hard. I believe DOT 5 is still around for use in the military as those vehicles can be stored for long periods of time in unheated facilities.
@@Jeffmartin-dt8pc Apologies for not replying sooner. As I am steam powered I have only just discovered this comment which was under "Held for approval" for some reason. That is very interesting regarding your servo seal. Silicone ingestion into your engine wouldn't be good. Hopefully an alcohol cleaned "dry" system with new seals should be OK. I am under the impression that silicone fluid is an inert substance that cannot attack rubber. Thank you for your feedback.
Your comments are appreciated. Unfortunately my business model will not run to a stately home. Perhaps I could charge my customers a bit more. Many thanks.
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.
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.
Look at that oil pressure coming up . . . . and . . . . look at the fuel gauge going down. . . ha haha ha ha Beautiful. Not keen on black for cars . . . the paint depth is remarkable. It's in better condition than me . . . and we are the same age.
Glad you approve of the Rolls Royce. Comparing this car to others on the market I would suggest that the price should be higher to mirror the condition. Thanks for watching.
One of the last real Rolls Royces. When they could truly claim to be the best cars in the world. "At 100mph the loudest sound is the ticking of the electric clock. "
Could you please settle a disagreement my partner and I have ..does the paint have a metallic finish ..I say no ,he says yes …I’d be much appreciative if you could you let me know ..cheers
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.
hate if somebody revs up an engine like that, when the car is standing sitll. No need to whatsoever, plus even with the engine wormed up, you don't get the needed cooling in the end.

I would care for this care better than a museum. It's stunning. Been my dream car since I was 6 years old.

Absolutely stunning car 😊😊😊 i used to own a 1976 silver shadow many years ago.The old Rolls Royce and Bentleys are just gorgeous 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, Clouds and Shadows are very nice.

Totally agree
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?
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.

Omg, so beautiful, i drive many times white a car like this, but, this is very special. never seen befor in this condition
You're very kind. Glad you like it. Many thanks.
Gorgeous example of a well cared for classic Rolls-Royce!!
Thank you. Glad you like it.
absolutely beautiful, now THAT'S A CAR !!
You have good taste. Thank you so much.
Beautiful car and a good price I should think.
A real classic in an amazing condition.
Really appreciate your kind comments. Thank you.

Yes, the green interior goes well with the Black. Thank you for kind comments which are much appreciated.
Beautiful Silver cloud!!! I own a Silver Shadow 2 from (1978) Greetings from Italy!!!
Greetings to you. Shadow 2's are lovely. I have a 1977 T2 coming up soon. Many thanks.

Just listen to massive noise when you open and close the doors, awesome

This car is a British icon at its best no Germans here It needs to be parked on the driveway in front of a stately home because it is pure style
Your comments are appreciated. Unfortunately my business model will not run to a stately home. Perhaps I could charge my customers a bit more. Many thanks.
She’s a beauty
Glad you like her. Many thanks.
What a beauty 👍🏻
Thanks for your encouragement.
Bit of class very nice.

Yes, let's not talk about the fuel consumption. Glad you like the coachwork. Thanks for watching.
It is a very stunning car indeed. But given the car is 60 years old, this condition is too good to be true
Thank you and I'm glad you like the Cloud. Yes , to be this well preserved after 64 years makes this a "stand alone" car. Best wishes.
Tickety boo! Guess. the price mirrors the condition.
Glad you approve of the Rolls Royce. Comparing this car to others on the market I would suggest that the price should be higher to mirror the condition. Thanks for watching.
One of the last real Rolls Royces. When they could truly claim to be the best cars in the world. "At 100mph the loudest sound is the ticking of the electric clock. "
Yes, the separate chassis cars are special indeed. Thanks for watching.
I think I prefer the red T2 in the background!
There will be a video coming soon for the T2 that you like. Well spotted and thanks for watching.
Does the rear armrest open to reveal a stowage compartment?
How much is this being sold for?

You’re showing the ground, but not the car
Unfortunately take it to a classic car show and it would hardly get any interest unlike a 80s hot hatch !
Yes, some of the 1980's cars are really sought after. Thanks for watching.
