The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and its Bentley S-Series sibling were to be the end of both Rolls-Royce and Bentley’s Golden Age. They carried on the elaborate pre-war tradition of coach-building with over 130 different body-styles offered during their production run. As well as the rakish Continental models with their sporting edge, there were also dozens of saloon body-styles with offerings available from HJ Mulliner, James Young, Freestone and Webb, Hooper, Park Ward and numerous others. Despite the many choices available, few designs could truly rival the sheer elegance of John Blatchley’s exceptional Standard Steel design. The factory bodywork made for one of the most beautiful saloons of all time, with its blind rear quarters, subtle swage lines and styling designed to mirror a yacht sailing through the water.
The final iteration of this model was the Silver Cloud III which was launched in 1963 and saw the first major styling changes made to the model, namely the implementation of quad headlamps, redesigned front wings and a lower grille and bonnet line. There were also some mechanical improvements to the still quite new, V8 power plant. Owing to these changes, the Silver Cloud III has always been one of the most desirable post-war Rolls-Royces and after the Silver Shadow launched in 1965, many owners found themselves choosing to keep their Cloud rather than replace it, finding it not only to be a far superior looking car but also a better car to drive and much more dependable.
This particular Cloud III is one of, if not the most important of all being that it is the very last Cloud III Standard Steel Saloon. It is the very last Standard Steel Chassis number and was sold new in Italy, believed to have been supplied to an heir of the Olivetti typewriter family. The car remained in Italy for many years and the car has always been exceptionally well preserved as is evidenced by its beautiful original red leather interior. The car has been beautifully repainted in one of the best colours for a Cloud III, Shell Grey and is one of the best driving Cloud IIIs we've had the pleasure of owning. There are no shortage of Silver Clouds for sale but very few are such excellent examples and there will only ever be one last Cloud III and it is this very car - the last body-on-chassis Rolls-Royce saloon ever constructed. Truly an unrepeatable car!
