Rolls-Royce learned with its Silver Dawn model that its loyal customers were willing to accept standardized coachwork; considerably less expensive than that provided by specialty coachbuilers. When the Silver Cloud was introduced in 1955, it too, was offered as a standard steel saloon by Pressed Steel, albeit with some body panels in aluminum. Introduced with six-cylinder power in 1955, four years later it received a modern V-8 and was dubbed the Silver Cloud II. In 1963 came the final modification to Silver Cloud III status with the introduction of four headlights, a lowered front cowl and bonnet, additional engine power and a myriad of detail refinements.

Elegantly painted in maroon with silver pinstriping, this lovely Cloud III has a red leather interior trimmed in wood and features an automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, along with power windows and an aftermarket CD player. Paint and chrome are described in great condition.
