Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1 smoke green 1:43 Oxford diecast Scale Model Car

Oxford’s prestige cars series in 1:43 scale continues with the Rolls-Royce classics from the 1950s.  Rolls-Royce made the Silver Cloud between 1955 and 1966, during which time nearly 7400 were produced. It superseded the Silver Dawn, also part of Oxford’s range of 1:43 scale prestige cars of the post-war era.  Designed by  J P Blatchley and hailed as the Company’s core model of the Rolls-Royce range, just under 2300 Silver Cloud I were manufactured at the company’s Crewe Works between  1955 and 1958 when the car was superseded by the Silver Cloud II.  The vehicle came as a 4-door saloon, although coachbuilders added variants including a very elegant 2-door convertible and 2-door drophead coupé.  The engine was a 155 hp 4.9 L six-cylinder unit with a 4-speed standard transmission. Brakes were hydraulic and power steering and air conditioning became available as options in 1956.

Our Oxford 4-door saloon in colour scheme of muted green is registered XGO 999. There is a lot of exterior chrome and the wheels feature a smoke green trim the same as the body colour.  The interior is highly detailed with cream moulding to seating, door panels and flooring. The dashboard is tan, with tan door cappings and even tan tables folded into the seats. 

Our model is a fine example of the 1950s classic age of opulent motoring
