Silver Cloud III
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.

mascot create a presence that few automobiles can match.
