In 1963 the third iteration of the classic Silver Cloud was introduced. With slightly altered exterior dimensions and a remodelled interior, Rolls Royce managed to shave over 100 KG off its total weight. Other improvements to the engine were made, including fitting 2-inch (51 mm) SU carburettors in place of the 1¾ inch units used on the Series II Silver Cloud. Rolls Royce indicated their had been a nearly 7% improvement to the engines overall power output.

The headlights on the Silver Cloud III are distinctively grouped in a four-headlamp layout which was subsequently continued in the later Silver Shadow.

Our Silver Cloud III is finished in its original and possibly the most attractive original factory colour scheme of two-tone, Masons Black over Sand, with the roof, bonnet moulding and boot door painted in Masons Black, whilst the lower body panels, fairings and wings contrast beautifully in Rolls Royce Sand. All complemented by striking Brick-red fine lines and a Beige Connolly hide interior with Cumberland Stone Wilton carpets together with a fawn wool head cloth. Our example has a chrome italic badge reading Silver Cloud III fitted to the boot lid. This feature was only fitted to UK and European models, whilst US versions were left without the badge.

Offered with an extensive history file that includes copies of the original manufacturers build sheets.
