RREC Silver Cloud 70th Anniversary

April 26, 2025

A weekend to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S Series motor cars, launched in 1955. Enjoy a spectacular weekend based in the Windsor Great Park area. There will be a visit to Windsor Castle, followed by a fabulous dinner at the hotel on Saturday. On Sunday enjoy a parade of Silver Clouds on the Long Walk of Windsor Castle before driving to Bray for lunch at the same restaurant where the Silver Cloud was originally launched in 1955.

Participants will have the unique opportunity for their cars to be photographed in the exact position outside the old hotel building where the original press photographs were taken in 1955.
