1965 | Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III

• Only five owners from new, with fully documented history
• Original Irish number plates, British MOT history from 1973 to 2008
• Luxury coachwork by H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd with UK documents + E705
• One of only 51 Flying Spur examples ever built
• Verified mileage, maintained by a former Rolls-Royce mechanic, including Buff log book and unique first-owner keyring

The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Flying Spur is one of the most refined, exclusive and elegantly styled British luxury automobiles of the 1960s. The Flying Spur variant, designed and built by the renowned coachbuilder H.J. Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd, represented the most exclusive four-door configuration within the Silver Cloud III range. With only 51 examples produced, it is an exceptional rarity in the world of hand-built Rolls-Royces.

This 1965 example has been remarkably well preserved thanks to its outstanding documentation: only five owners from new, original Irish plates, a complete British MOT trail from 1973 to 2008, and the authentic Buff log book. It was maintained for many years by a former Rolls-Royce mechanic, underscoring its mechanical reliability. Even the original first-owner keyring has survived — a charming detail that adds authenticity and value.

The Silver Cloud III marks the final evolution of Rolls-Royce’s classic V8 era. It features the powerful 6.2-liter V8 engine, the iconic twin-headlamp front end, increased performance, and a richly finished interior. This example is presented in older, original condition, making it an excellent candidate for restoration or as an investment in a high-end collection.
