1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II SCT 100

Chassis number LCC.45 is one of the very rare, desirable LWB James Young aluminium bodied Rolls Royce Silver Cloud's. These very exclusive cars were sometimes described as 'Baby Phantoms'. This chassis was delivered to James Young Coachbuilders on the 22nd August 1961 and the car was delivered by Jack Barclay Ltd to its first owner, Heritable & General Investment Bank Ltd of London on 9th March 1962. They were also situated in the iconic Berkeley Square, London W1. The Rolls Royce was supplied in Tudor Grey with Beige leather, power assisted steering and division.
This impressive Rolls Royce limousine covered very little mileage in and around London in its first thirteen years, changing hands for the first time in July 1975. We have an MOT certificate from 1975 to confirm the mileage was just 22,285 at that time. The second owner in Surrey did not keep the car long, and in September 1975 Jack Barclay Ltd sold the Rolls Royce to its third owner in Ypsilanti, Michigan, USA. We have records to confirm the Rolls Royce won a first in class at a Rolls Royce event in Dearborn, Michigan in 1977. By 1977 the car had covered just 24000 miles.

The SCT100 returned to the UK in 1988 having been kept in lovely, original condition well suited to participating in club events and shows. We know that since returning to the UK, the Rolls Royce has had relatively little use and came to us with a recorded mileage of just over 58,000. Within the past 2500 miles, over £5000 has been spent with a Rolls Royce specialist on mechanical re-commissioning work, we have invoices for almost £3000 of this work. This programme of work included new rear brake linings, rebuilt master cylinder, rebuilt wheel cylinders, new handbrake linkage bushes, two new brake drums and the servo was removed, cleaned, checked and the whole braking system bled. A further £20,000 has since been spent on various improvements including completely re-trimming the upholstery and taking the car to a truly exceptional standard. With new carpets, headlining, re-trimmed door cards and top class leather used for re-trimming the seats, the interior is wonderful and still retains its beautiful woodwork. Recent mechanical work includes servicing the car, re-tempering the rear springs and a new full set of tyres has recently been fitted.

On the road OSU 116 is fabulous with a superb ride and excellent brakes. The engine performs faultlessly.
, holding particularly good oil pressure. The Rolls Royce toured the West Coast of Scotland, covering in the region of 800 miles faultlessly. The gears change up and down smoothly, the performance is impressive, and the car offers a wonderful driving experience. Our ultra-rare SCT 100 presents beautifully with an exceptionally lovely deep paint finish, excellent straight body panels, deep, bright chromework and the upholstery is first class having been re-trimmed to a very high standard.
