History
This Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I – chassis SDD 172 – was delivered brand new from the factory on 21 February 1957 to the J. Olding & Co dealership in London to be sold to its first owner, Broadmead Wireless Co, as a left-hand drive vehicle. A special order, the car was sent directly to Los Angeles to become the property of a film production company in Beverly Hills, where it remained for around ten years.
The car’s history is relatively unremarkable until September 1966, when SDD 172 returned to the UK, coming into the possession of Electrical & General Development. The novelist James Hadley Chase chose this car for the cover of one of his novels in 1977 (“I Hold the Four Aces”) and the car took part in a few local concours d’élégance before being sold to its third owner.
Arriving in Monaco in 1991, the car underwent a complete restoration: engine, gearbox, full mechanical overhaul, brakes and interior. It was purchased in March 2003 by the current owner, who has maintained it with care ever since. In 2006, he had it fully repainted (in Cardinal Red) by a specialist body shop, then had the soft top replaced, new upholstery fitted and all the interior woodwork restored. The car has since been in superb overall condition and requires no further expenditure, as the radiator and the entire cooling system have recently been replaced.
SDD 172 has taken part in numerous events in the UK and France. It is well known within the Rolls-Royce community and among Rolls-Royce clubs.
> 1st prize at the Andelys Concours d’Elegance in May 2005
> Rolls-Royce Enthusiast Club Rally in Northamptonshire in 2007
> 1st prize at the Saint Cloud Concours d’Elegance in June 2008
> The car appears on page 192 with its owner in the reference book “Rolls-Royce, Best Car in the World”
> The car retains all its original equipment: owner’s manual, tool kit, torch. It also comes with a comprehensive file of invoices, a valid MOT certificate, and has undergone a full service prior to sale.

Morgan Aero 8 2003
Investing in a specialist company seemed the best way to sell my Morgan Aero 8. It cost a lot, but CarJager saved me a considerable amount of time (an incredible sale in just a few days). The team is very professional, with everyone playing their part, and all the steps went very smoothly (taking photos, drawing up the advert, posting it, keeping in constant contact with the team, arranging viewings and, finally, collection and super-fast payment). I'd like to share a testimonial with you, which I hope will inspire you to follow my example and put your trust in CarJager.
