1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III

This very good-looking and original RHD auto 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III is in very impressive overall condition and, although not perfect, it should require only cosmetic attention to one or two bodywork issues.

It has clearly been maintained, stored and cared-for to a high standard.

The car is showing 85,704 kms on its odometer.

The chassis number is SFU115.

We know from the kickplates that it was supplied new by a garage in Barnet, North London, and that it attended the British Classic Car Meeting in St. Moritz every year from 2002 to 2007.

The car comes with no history or service records beyond whatever documentation is shown in the gallery.

It has been in storage for a while and will need a basic service to prepare it for the road.

This vehicle is sold without any key.

This is undoubtedly a striking and handsome vehicle.

The panel gaps and shut lines are consistent and even. The bodywork is free from any dinks, dents, creases or ripples of real significance.

A grand and stately car in any guise, this example is somehow rendered even more majestic by the black-over-bordeaux livery.

Most of the paintwork is very good, but there are one or two instances of bubbling to d with – in the rear wheel arches, in the bodywork immediately below one of the rear windows, and in the sills.

There are also a few paint chips on the door edges and a spot of flaking paint on the roof.

The boot lid has some scuffs and paint chips around the Silver Cloud III badging and there are some stone ships around the rear wheel arch on the driver’s side.

Most of the extensive chrome-work is in very decent condition, as are the wheels, lights, lenses, badging and exterior trim.

The interior of this vehicle looks very authentic, original and a fine place to spend some comfortable quality time on a long, chauffeur-driven journey.

The cream leather upholstery is in broadly excellent condition, with the only light creasing or evidence of use to be seen on the driver’s seat and front passenger’s armrest.

There is what looks like a previous repair to a split in the leather above the armrest on the driver’s door

The carpets and mats are good all round, as are the door cards.

All of the car’s many wood veneers - on the dashboard, the door cappings, the rear picnic tables - are sumptuously rich and glossy.

The steering wheel, gear selector, dashboard, dials, instruments, fixtures and fittings have all survived the passage of time remarkably well and are largely without any flaws.

The cavernous boot looks to be in good order.

All components and parts in the exceptionally clean and dry engine bay seem to be in the right and proper place.

While there is some rust dust and the odd spot of flaking to be seen underneath, what’s visible would appear to have a decent amount of structural integrity, as far as we can tell.

The car doesn’t come with any service records, history or documentation beyond what is shown in the gallery section.

This noble old Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III has evidently been the recipient of a good deal of care and attention over the years and is only now showing one or two minor bodywork issues that will need attending to. It should provide its next owner with many years of high-quality motoring pleasure.

We’re confident to offer it for auction with an estimate of between €30,000 - €40,000.
