1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III - Right-Hand Drive
Experience the elegance and craftsmanship of this 1965 Rolls-Royce
Silver
Cloud III, a UK home-market example of one of the most
distinguished luxury
automobiles of its era. Finished in silver with a grey leather
interior and
beautifully appointed wood veneer throughout the cabin, this Silver
Cloud III
delivers the unmistakable presence and refinement associated with
Rolls-Royce.
PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle is right-hand drive, as originally built
for the
British market. Chassis number SJR67 carries no "L" prefix, the
designation
Rolls-Royce applied to left-hand-drive cars. The car is fully legal
to
register, insure and drive in the United States.
Power comes from the 6.2-liter (6,230 cc) alloy V8 with twin SU
carburetors,
paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
Launched in
1962, the Silver Cloud III carried a revised version of the V8 with
larger
carburetors, a new distributor and raised compression. Its most
recognizable
change from the Cloud II was the adoption of four-headlamp lighting
and a
slightly lower radiator shell. The car was built at Crewe on the
standard
steel saloon body.
PROVENANCE
This Silver Cloud III carries sill plates from Frank Dale &
Stepsons of Farm
Lane, London SW6 - among the world's longest-established and most
respected
Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialists, still trading today. The
plates carry a
London 01 telephone number, a dialing code retired in 1990, placing
the
association with the marque specialist at least three and a half
decades back.

Ecstasy
mascot create a presence that few automobiles can match.
