Details:
Rolls-Royce introduced the Silver Cloud model in April of 1955. It followed the production run of the Silver Dawn, and the relocation of manufacturing to Crewe. The new model was to be somewhat larger, substantially roomier, just as nimble and no less speedy. In addition, provisions were added for conveniences such as power assisted steering, automatic transmission and improved ventilation. Initially, 'sufficient' power came from a staid six-cylinder engine.

The Silver Cloud Series II, introduced in August 1959 saw the introduction of eight-cylinder power. This offset the tendency for both production and coach built bodies, which had become progressively heavier.

The final incarnation, the Silver Cloud III, began production in September 1962 and would be the last Rolls-Royce to have a separate chassis. Eventually the Silver Cloud would be replaced by the all new, unitary construction, Silver Shadow, in 1965. A total 2,044 Cloud IIIs had been built over a three -ear production run.

Offered here is an example of 1963 vintage, which has been repatriated from the USA in January 2013. Finished in Ermine white with cream hide, the car is said to be in good condition throughout with all electrics in working order, good hide, sound mechanicals and excellent chassis.

The indicated mileage is 84,981, which is thought to be but not warranted as correct. The car comes complete with MoT through to February 2014 and historic tax through to April 2014.
