DESCRIPTION

The Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III was regarded by many as the finest in the company's history and indeed was proudly advertised as "the best car in the world". Even with the introduction of its successor, the Shadow, production of the 'chassis Cloud III' ran alongside at the factory into 1966. Rolls Royce knew it would be a hard act to follow with their new monocoque design. It was powered by an all-alloy 6300cc V8, an engine that was remarkably smooth and efficient, it remained Rolls Royce's power-plant for many years. With such a majestic presence it would become the first choice for celebrities and aristocrats. This Silver Cloud III comes with a very extensive history file having been supplied by Jack Barclay Ltd. of Berkeley Square W1 to the second owner. The original invoices show a part exchange allowance against his Silver Cloud II. The car comes with a substantial history file and a vast amount of bills and correspondence with Rolls Royce themselves and their main agents of the day. The original buff log book is present and shows just three previous owners to our vendor, who has cherished his ownership and maintained the vehicle accordingly. Finished in a very pleasing and classic combination of Astral Blue over Silver, the high quality trim is original and the upholstery appears exceptional in original grey leather.The engine is turbine smooth and is a pleasure to drive. These Rolls Royces represented the pinnacle of British engineering in the early sixties and represent real value today with an enviable reputation.
