The S-Type, which covered both the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S Series were first built in 1959 to 1959. With a six cylinder 4887cc engine they were known as the Silver Cloud I or SI. These were then replaced by the SII and Cloud II with the V8 6230cc engine with three speed automatic gearbox, giving a good top speed of 116mph. The last of the series the Silver Cloud III or Bentley SIII, varied only in the fact these had twin headlights, opposed to the single headlights of the previous models. Really everything was down personal choice with the last two models – Rolls or Bentley radiators and badging, or single and twin headlights.

These were the last cars to have a separate chassis and body, which was known as the Standard Steel saloon. Due to this there were a number of companies such as, Mulliner Park Ward and James Young, building on the chassis, the most well known being the Continental, Flying Spur and Chinese Eye versions.
