Building A New Fame for Your Rolls Royce

I am going to suggest not trying this yourself, unless you have lots of time and patience. Better yet, someone to help with the work.

I was very disapointed when I bought my Rolls Silver Cloud II. It was a perfect picture on how not to design a car. I understand that the technology in 1955 to 1964 (the full run of this model) was not what it is today. But this was the most insane engineering I have seen in my life.

A brake system that defies mortal thought. I think someone at Rolls Royce forgot that simple is better. Simple is one word that will never describe Rolls Royce Silver Clouds.

So my idea was to build a restomod that would have great driveability and all the modern conviences (such as brakes) while keeping the appeal and look of the original car.

I decided to use a 1982 Mercedes 300SD with 4 wheel independant suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes and a 5 cylinder 3.0 Litre turbo charged diesel engine as my donor car. The car had the same basic weight and wheel base width.

Plus, I figure if I am building a Rolls Royce I want some quality engineering under the hood. And yes I did consider the standard Chevy 350 and mail order suspension which would have been much cheaper. But who wants a Rolls that drives like a chevy?

So the first step was to disasemble the Mercedes. I chopped the body off and drove around what was left. It was still a great car to drive even in the condition shown below. Just goes to show you, it is hard to ruin a Mercedes.
