Seller's comments about 1963' Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire 12th Feb, 2025 12:00pm 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Estimate £35, 000 - £40, 000 Registration No: 212 APX Chassis No: SA2. 37 MOT: May 2025 Notably nicely presented example, worthy of close inspection! Covered some 10, 000 trouble-free miles while in the vendors nine year ownership Presented in its original and appealing colour combination of Sand over Sable with Beige hide interior upholstery Purchased by the vendor from a marque specialist in 2016 for £69, 000 Rolls-Royce launched the Silver Cloud in April 1955, and it was the company's core model range for the next 11 years. For the final iteration, the Silver Cloud III, the exterior dimensions were subtly altered, the interior remodelled and the weight reduced by some 220lbs. Engine improvements included replacing the 1. 75-inch SU carburettors with 2. 0-inch ones and raising the compression ratio to 9:1. The resulting extra performance allowed the 0-60mph dash to be completed in just 10. 1 seconds and a mean top speed of 114. 3mph. The obvious visual change was the adoption of four headlamps. Less noticeable were the slightly increased slope of the bonnet and the shorter (by 1. 5 inches) radiator grille. Full information following shortly.
