Description
| Chassis no. LSCX 247 | 6, 230 cc V8 | High-End Conversion | The Silver Cloud III was the final and most highly developed generation of the classic Cloud series. Featuring its distinctive twin headlights, a lowered grille, and a powerful 6, 230 cc aluminium V8, it marks the end of the traditional Rolls-Royce era: built on a separate chassis, rich in craftsmanship, and designed for one single purpose: effortless travel. | A Rare and Elegant Configuration | Original Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupés by Mulliner Park Ward are now among the most sought-after coachbuilt Rolls-Royces of the 1960s. This makes high-quality conversions highly attractive, provided they are correctly executed and technically sound. | That is precisely where this car excels. LSCX 247 is not a standard closed Cloud with the roof simply removed, but a meticulously constructed Drophead Coupé Conversion with an eye for proportion, structural rigidity, and finish. The car possesses the correct presence: long flanks, a stately front, open four-seater luxury, and that typical Rolls-Royce effortless grace that cannot be replicated with chrome and leather alone. | Engineering & Driving Experience | Under the bonnet lies the renowned 6, 230 cc V8, paired with a smooth four-speed automatic transmission. It is a drivetrain that perfectly suits the car’s character: powerful without being forced, quiet without being lifeless, and above all, built for relaxed long-distance touring. | The engine runs beautifully, the gearbox shifts fluently, and the chassis feels solid and reassuring. The car is fresh, well-maintained, and mechanically sound. | This is no museum piece intended only for showroom lights. This is a Cloud III that invites use—for concours events, summer evenings, long weekends, or simply because driving an open Rolls-Royce remains one of the finest forms of motoring. | Specification & Presentation | The colour scheme is exceptionally strong: Champagne Gold Metallic with a beige interior and a matching beige canvas top. The result is stylish without becoming ostentatious—the exact balance expected of a Rolls-Royce. | The paintwork is sharp, the body panels fit neatly, and the brightwork is in beautiful condition. The soft-top fits well, giving the car a very polished appearance whether open or closed. | Inside, the classic Rolls-Royce atmosphere is fully present. The beige leather is well-preserved, the Smiths instrumentation functions as it should, and the burl walnut on the dashboard and door panels is in excellent condition. It is often the woodwork that defines a Silver Cloud; it determines whether a car is merely “tidy” or truly classy. In this instance, the level of finish is clearly one of the car’s strongest points. | A Rolls-Royce the way they are no longer built, and for that reason, incredibly desirable. | Specifications | Classic Cars For Sale | Exceptional cars with a great history. | Viewing by appointment only
