1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III

A beautiful 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, chassis number LSCX233, finished in the highly elegant two-tone combination of Shell Grey over Steel Blue.

The car has covered approximately 88,500 km and is presented in very good condition.

This is a left-hand-drive (LHD) example, which makes the car particularly interesting for the European market.

A refined example of the Silver Cloud III

The Silver Cloud III represents the final and most refined version of the Silver Cloud series, combining traditional Rolls-Royce craftsmanship with the powerful 6.2-litre V8 and the elegance of early-1960s British motoring.

The combination of Shell Grey over Steel Blue, left-hand drive, extensive restoration and comprehensive documentation makes this an especially attractive example for a European collector.

The car offers the opportunity to acquire a Silver Cloud III that has already benefited from substantial mechanical and cosmetic investment, while retaining the character and presence of one of Rolls-Royce's most iconic post-war models.
