For Sale: 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III in North Miami , Florida

One of the last examples (the KP series is the final version) of this modern-day classic produced, this exceptional automobile was acquired by us from Southern California where it had spent all of its rust-free life since delivery on August 11, 1965, to Mrs. Frances Hammer, wife of the famed industrialist Armand Hammer at their Los Angeles estate.

It was later gifted to her niece, Mrs. Joan Weiss of that city where it remained until acquired with a total of slightly over 34,000 miles from new by an enthusiastic collector in 2005, who initially planned to retain it but was daunted by the additional improvements contemplated and therefore, resold it to us.

The original Shell Grey (Silver) lacquer finish was redone excellently and required minimal attention to bring it to our standards. The front seats were misshapen, especially the driver's cushion and fresh Scarlet Connolly hides to match the balance of the remarkably well-preserved interior were obtained and used to re-trim them. The engine had been overheated at some in the past. Out of respect for the fine condition and pedigree of this specimen, we elected to completely rebuild the original correctly numbered engine, including new pistons of superior design, rather than to attempt any partial repairs. An authentic underwing dashboard vented air conditioner was obtained and fitted, as Mrs. Hammer had not elected to order one when the car was new.

Correct original handbook, complete tools, and factory build sheets are included. This superb performer is among the finest examples extant. At present, we are unaware of its equal.

The service history with ourselves for its meticulous owners over the past more than two decades is complete.
