The factory release document of this "silver cloud" states that it was delivered new on the 28th August 1958 in Canada to a certain F.R. MacDonald, President of a large building materials organisation bearing his actual name. In a lovely porcelain white livery and beige leather interior, it is equipped with power steering and original air conditioning, of which the latter was removed for space reasons but will still be delivered with the car. The car changed ownership in 1960 and then moved to Nebraska in 1963 to remain in the same family until 2008, when it was then purchased by an English dealer, from whom the current owner bought it. Sophisticated, the latter has since had the car repainted in its original colour, with gold nets and replacement of all seals. As for leathers, they have been dyed again and resulted in the car offering a gorgeous appearance both inside and outside. The woodwork is in good condition and the speedometer is now graduated in km/h. A test drive with its owner demonstrated its overall good working order and its smoothness, typical characteristic for this model. There are not many examples in such neat condition, in left-hand drive, with a clear history and interesting options. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
