1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Drophead Coupé Adaptation by H.J. Mulliner
- Colour
- Velvet Green
Chassis LSJF60 is the original H.J. Mulliner prototype for the Drophead Coupé Adaptation on the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I, of which only 13 examples were ultimately produced. Built by modifying an unpainted factory body shell, it was exhibited at Mulliner's Chiswick works during the 1958 Motor Show season and subsequently shipped to the United States, where it was delivered to its first owner in April 1959. Now in unrestored condition, it is considered the most historically significant surviving example of this rare coachbuilt variant.
