1965 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER CLOUD 3

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN.

Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced on the 'Cloud II/S2 - though with larger carburettors, new distributor and a raised compression ratio

Most obvious among many changes from the preceding models was the adoption of four headlamps, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops and a slightly lower radiator shell

From the last year of production, this impressive Cloud III is finished in Silver Mink over Garnet with a classic RR interior in soft grey hides complemented by figured Walnut on the dashboard, door cappings, rear picnic tables and vanity mirror surrounds

Originally supplied new by Jack Barclays and some years later was exported to the US. The car returned home in 2016 and has been carefully recommissioned since. We understand that it continues to run well and is supplied with its handbooks, some recent invoices and the V5C

This magnificent Cloud III is ready once again to discretely whisk its lucky owners and their guests in amazing comfort to their destination and to arrive in the style normally reserved for what was, at the time, 'The Best Car in the World'
