1964 Rolls-Royce

History

1962 saw the introduction of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III which was to be the final variant of the factory bodied standard steel saloon. At first glance it would appear that the all new Silver Cloud III was merely a Silver Cloud II with different headlamps. The introduction of the twin headlamps was clearly the most obvious change, but the differences did not end there. Further changes included the introduction of smaller bumper over riders and the re positioning of the front indicators and side lamps into one single unit on the front wing, resulting in an arguably more attractive appearance. Mechanically speaking the Silver Cloud III was issued with larger 9:1 compression ratio carburettors, improved power steering to aid smoother movement at parking speed and a Lucas vacuum-advance distributor to aid fuel consumption, making it almost identical in mechanical specification to the Bentley S3 Continental that was being produced at the same time. Chassis No SGT 383 was first encountered by Frank Dale & Stepsons when supplied from our Farm Lane showrooms in Fulham, in the late 1970's. It was acquired by the most recent owner approximately ten years ago and has been serviced and maintained regardless of cost by ourselves since. It is complete with all of its tools, handbook, copies of the original chassis cards and maintenance records. This very smart Silver Cloud III saloon is ready and prepared for its next fortunate owner.
