1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud I review from UK and Ireland
"A luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
For a very old old car, nothing has gone wrong while I have owned this car.
The only thing that will ever be wrong with this car is the 10 mpg.
The whole interior and exterior of this car is in pristine (very good) condition.
General comments?
For a car this size and old, it is extremely fast.
The engine runs as good as it did when it was first made.
The exhausts are still working fine even though they are the originals.
Every inch of the exterior is absolutely perfect, just how it should be.
The interior hasn't even started to wear one bit.
The seats are absolutely perfect and are as comfortable as a recliner chair.
The handling is not that good.
And the gearbox gives of a mighty thump every time you change gear.
The brakes feel a bit wooden and should be a little more responsive.
A bargain for £12,000.
PS. I am quite rich and have tested almost every, and I mean every, car on the market.
