Outstanding Customer Reviews 1:43 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD (HOOPER) EMPRESS (BROWN/CREAM) (43EMP001)
- Part Number: 43EMP001
- Condition: This is a new aftermarket part
"The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I was built between 1955 and 1958 with 2238 produced. 121 of the SWB chassis received special bodies by coachbuilders including Hooper & Co, Freestone & Webb, H.J. Mulliner and James Young.
Hooper was founded as Adams and Hooper in 1805 with prestigious London SW1 premises. Less than 10 years later they had moved a bit further up the road into St James Street, Piccadilly. They built horse drawn carriages for Queen Victoria for over 60 years before supplying King Edward VII also. With the advent of the motor car, under the name Hooper & Co, the firm extended their connections with the Royal Family, holding the Royal Warrant to supply bespoke automobiles through nine reigns of the British Monarchy. Hoopers' 'New Look' design (Empress Line) was created by chief designer Osmond Rivers in 1955. Only around 20 cars of this design were built.
Our first release is based on the Silver Cloud originally painted black until purchased by the famous childrens author Enid Blyton who had it repainted into the brown and cream colour scheme that it carries to this day. Registered RFF 137, our replica comes with cream interior seating and door panels, brown dashboard and door cappings, grey floor and black steering wheel. The exterior features chrome door mirrors and masses of silver trim, crowned by the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot on the front of the bonnet."

Shipping & Delivery
As an international mail order company, our focus is to get parts to our customers as quickly and economically as possible. Where possible we will try to provide a choice of shipping options.
Our database knows the weight of every part listed on our website. In the majority of cases this allows automatic shipping options for each order to be chosen at the checkout. Unfortunately, penalties will be imposed by all shipping companies if a parcel is particularly large in size compared to its weight, this is commonly known as “voluming out”. This means that sometimes we are unable to accurately quote shipping for orders until we have packed the parcel and confirmed the shipping cost.
Please be aware that import duties and taxes may apply in countries outside of the European Union. All duties and taxes are set by the Customs Authority of the destination country and, as such, we have no control over them. Please note that it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay all duties and taxes.
Our two most commonly used methods of shipment are by the postal service and UPS.
We do, however, hold accounts with most major international couriers so please let us know if you have a preferred courier or if you would like us to ship using an account you hold with a specific courier.
