The Plus
Introduced in 1963, the Silver Cloud III was the third and final generation of one of the world's most iconic luxury cars. With a redesigned interior and a reported power improvement of "maybe 7%", it ticked all the boxes for Rolls-Royce's discerning clientele and quickly became an icon of the elite classes.
This exceptional example comes to us in a seductive two-tone livery, with plenty of originality and a valuation report dating from only last year; all of which combine to make this a rare and highly prestigious luxury car. With its luxurious period leather interior and purring V8 engine, we are convinced that it can be a unique addition to any enthusiast's collection.
