Vehicle Description

The 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, once owned by the iconic actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor, is a masterpiece of luxury and craftsmanship. This unique model, an extended wheelbase version, was gifted to Gabor in 1970 and transformed into a bespoke showstopper by legendary car designer George Barris in 1978.Barris, renowned for creations like the original Batmobile, gave the Silver Cloud II an eye-catching gold paint finish with two-tone accents and delicate pinstripes. The windows were hand-engraved and adorned with floral and butterfly designs by glass artist Robb Rich, while the grille and Spirit of Ecstasy emblem were plated in 24-karat gold, giving the car an unparalleled aura of elegance.The interior is equally impressive, featuring a brown leather-upholstered front bench and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The rear cabin offers ultimate comfort with two luxurious seats, foldable tables, and hidden accessories like a hairbrush and comb, perfectly embodying Zsa Zsa Gabor’s glamorous lifestyle.In addition to its opulent design, this Silver Cloud II is a rare example of how Rolls-Royce vehicles can serve as canvases for extraordinary personalization. Underneath the glamour lies the signature Rolls-Royce engineering, with a 6.2-liter V8 engine delivering a smooth and silent driving experience. Whether as a collector's centerpiece or a functional luxury vehicle, this car remains a testament to Rolls-Royce’s reputation for unmatched quality and innovation.Having been carefully preserved over the decades, this bespoke Rolls-Royce retains many of its original features alongside Barris’s artistic enhancements.
