1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III For Sale

The Plus

Introduced in 1963, the Silver Cloud III was the third and final generation of one of the world's most iconic luxury cars. With a redesigned interior and a reported power improvement of "maybe 7%", it ticked all the boxes for Rolls-Royce's discerning clientele and quickly became an icon of the elite classes.

This exceptional example comes to us in a seductive two-tone livery, with plenty of originality and a valuation report dating from only last year; all of which combine to make this a rare and highly prestigious luxury car. With its luxurious period leather interior and purring V8 engine, we are convinced that it can be a unique addition to any enthusiast's collection.
