First registered on 20th January 1964, chassis SEV323 is understood to be the very first of the 35 RHD Silver Cloud III chassis completed by Mulliner, Park Ward. Records show the original order to be placed with agent H. R. Owen at the of August 1963, on behalf of a Mr. George Farrow of Farnborough in Kent.

The order for a body style SC. 111 4-door Saloon by H. J. Mulliner commenced on 30th September 1963. The finished Flying Spur was delivered the following January to Mr. Farrow with the registration GF1. Finished in Oxford Blue with a Grey leather interior, options included a rev. counter, Radio 920T, Full Refrigeration, Electric Windows to all doors, a Hirschmann electric aerial, luggage straps, tubeless tyres, and a gold plaque attached to the “cubby hole”.

The Cloud III changed hands in 1967 and into the possession of Mr. Sydney Samuelson, a British Cinematographer and later chairman of BAFTA from 1973 - 1976. Mr. Samuelson kept the Rolls-Royce for around 25 years before passing ownership in 1992 to Mr. Clifford Baker of Wimpole Street in London. After two years Mr. Baker sold his Flying Spur to a business by the name of GET Plc, who kept the car until 2002. The next and last registered keeper, Mr. John Grayson, acquired the Rolls-Royce from marque specialists P&A Wood in May 2002. In Mr. Grayson’s ownership the Rolls-Royce was maintained initially by P&A Wood, and latterly by Rolls-Royce and Bentley specialist Silver Chalice Motor Services of Sheffield.

Supplied with a number of invoices from the 2000s, a copy of the original build sheet and Rolls-Royce History Book, and several older MoT certificates, this is a very genuine example of a supremely stylish continent-crossing gentleman’s express.
SEV323 is presented in Beautiful condition and driving accordingly. One of 52 built 34 of which were Right Hand Drive.
