The last separate chassis
The Silver Cloud closes the traditional Rolls-Royce line as a factory saloon or rolling chassis. Standard Steel saloons are entry points; documented dropheads and rare coachbuilt bodies form a higher market.

Instrument calibration for this file is in progress — the terminal above reads the documented record directly.
Amounts are reported auction results including buyer's premium. Inspect factory build records before comparing a saloon, Adaptation or fully coachbuilt car.
Overview
John Blatchley's full-width body reached production in 1955 after seven prototypes. It gave more cabin room, a stiffer chassis and an automatic gearbox as standard, while preserving the separate frame expected by traditional clients and coachbuilders.
The Silver Cloud II arrived in 1959 with the 6.2-litre V8 anticipated by the original engine-bay package. The Silver Cloud III followed in 1962 with a lower radiator, a sloping bonnet and paired headlamps.
Published production totals are not uniform. RM Sotheby's has cited 7'248 across the run, while other registries and secondary references produce totals around 7'300 depending on how long-wheelbase and coachbuilt chassis are counted. The body style and chassis record are more useful than a single series total.
