1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II HJ Mulliner Drophead Coupe – 1 of Only 74 Built
A masterpiece of post-war British coachbuilding, this 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Drophead Coupe by HJ Mulliner is one of only 74 factory-built convertibles and one of just one in existence with bespoke Carriage House enhancements. Finished in elegant Masons Black over Special Red leather, this rare Silver Cloud II has just 37,590 original miles and has benefited from a three-year restoration to exacting standards.
Originally commissioned for U.S. delivery through J.S. Inskip of New York and shipped in early 1960, chassis LSRA19 features special-order equipment and historical provenance, having passed through the hands of Carriage House in Manhattan—known for their celebrity-spec modifications for icons like Debbie Reynolds and Lucille Ball.
This example is fitted with rare Lucas R-100 headlamps and a unique continental kit, making it a one-of-a-kind among an already exclusive group of Rolls-Royce convertibles.
Top features include:
Factory 6.2L V8 engine, impeccably smooth and quiet
4-speed automatic transmission with seamless shifting
Recent bare-metal repaint in original Masons Black with deep red pinstriping
Power-operated Black Everflex convertible top with matching boot cover
Special Red Leather interior, newly installed in 2024 with matching Wilton wool carpets
Beautifully refinished burl walnut woodwork throughout

Flag mast beneath the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament
Factory power steering and power-assisted brakes
All gauges, stereo, and clock functioning as intended
Fully documented history including original handbook, tools, literature, and build sheets
This example not only showcases Rolls-Royce engineering at its finest but also stands as a unique work of art with celebrity-level customizations. Its commanding presence, rarity, and meticulous restoration make it a centerpiece in any collection.
