About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

One of 11 H.J. Mulliner design No. 7410 left-hand drive drophead coupes. Given to Frederick Loewe who composed the music for "My Fair Lady" by the publisher, Chappell & Co. Another went to his partner, lyricist Alan Jay Lerner. Immaculate example of the best Silver Cloud body style. Superb paint and panel fit, excellent chrome, but the leather is faded and the wood trim on top of the passenger door is worn. Has always been loved and maintained, a car that has never needed restoration.

Market commentary

Sold by Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2011 for $451,000 and now showing just 193 more miles on its odometer but a little more age on the car. It is impossible to argue with the price it brought here.
