You are looking at a custom 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II. This was the first year Rolls-Royce made the Silver Cloud II. However there is very little original left on this Silver Cloud II. It has a chopped roof, channeled body, air bag suspension, tube chassis, and Chevy V8. We could not find a picture of the engine bay. If anyone has a photo of the engine bay or more information on the project please contact us or leave a comment. <\/p>\n
