Forza literally means force, or power. But also, as one Italian dictionary puts it, “the ability to face the difficulties of life.” Used in this context, forza means something like “come on” or “you can do it!” Almost like saying “be strong” or “you’ve got the strength to do this.” / (ˈfɔːtsə) /

1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II - Available
This Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II is one of the nicest driver-quality examples we’ve come across in our time. It sports a very dapper color combination, wearing an older repaint in its original shade of gloss black over original tan leather. The exterior finish presents well with only minor imperfections and no signs of major body work. The interior remains all original with perhaps the exception of the wood door tops, which look so pristine they may have been restored in the car’s past. Rolls-Royce used extremely high quality leather, as evidenced by how nicely this interior has worn over the many decades and miles this car has experienced. To drive, it’s one of the finest unrestored examples we’ve come across, exhibiting exactly the kind of refinement you’d hope for from a Rolls-Royce. This Silver Cloud benefits from being left-hand drive, and also being optioned with air conditioning, adding to its usefulness. These cars are relatively easy to look after compared to later cars, making them ideal candidates for working chauffeur duties and regular use. Accompanying the car are its tools, copies of original factory records provided by the Rolls-Royce Foundation, as well as service records from most recent ownership. More photos and video available upon request.

The vinyl seats were reupholstered in recent years, and overall the interior presents well for its age and mileage.

In preparation for sale, it passed a safety inspection and received a new valve cover gasket.
