Billed as one of the rarest and most important post-war Rolls-Royces in existence—only two specimens were ever built—a 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud with a built-in cocktail bar will go under the hammer at the upcoming RM Auctions in Monaco. If you’re shopping for the perfect couple’s car, this exquisite automobile is perfect.
A novel though expensive way to drink and drive is projected through the 1958 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud which possesses a cocktail bar in its boot. This 54 year old car which has just covered 42,000 miles will go under the auctioneers hammer on May 12, 2012 and is expected to fetch upwards of £ 1 million at an auction to be held in the land of the rich and famous – Monaco.
Its most striking feature is a pair of cocktail cabinets framing the rear storage area with a cocktail shaker and four crystal whiskey tumblers each. For the record, the Honeymoon Express also delivers 178 bhp with a 4,887cc F-head six-cylinder engine, two SU carburetors and a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission with electrically controlled shock absorbers, power-assisted steering, and power-assisted hydraulic front and hydro-mechanical rear drum brakes.
