This 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III is a left-hand-drive example that was first sold as a four-door saloon and was later modified under previous ownership in the style of a Drophead coupe. The car was sold on BaT in June 2023 before it was acquired by the selling dealer, and subsequent work included re-coring the radiator, overhauling the cylinder heads, rebuilding the power steering ram and left-front window motor, repairing the exhaust system, and replacing the carburetor needles and seats. The car is finished in white over tan leather and is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a tan power-operated soft top, 15″ steel wheels with polished covers, dual SU carburetors, Lucas driving lights, air conditioning, burl wood interior trim, rear picnic tables, electric windows, and a JVC head unit. This Silver Cloud is now offered by the selling dealer in Massachusetts with Rolls-Royce-branded umbrellas, recent service records, and a clean Florida title. The Silver Cloud III saloon body was modified under previous ownership in the style of a Drophead coupe by H.J. Mulliner & Co. It was refinished in white, and equipment includes a power-operated tan soft top, a matching top boot, a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament, dual side mirrors, quad headlights, Lucas driving lights, vent windows, a bright-finished radiator grille and trim, and chrome-plated bumpers with overriders. The grounds for the rear turn signal assemblies were repaired and the rear light bulbs were replaced in preparation for the sale. A March 2024 service invoice lists a loose tack strip on the top above the rear window. Steel 15″ wheels wear polished covers with body-color inserts and are mounted with 235/75 Coker Classic wide-whitewall tires. Braking is handled by hydraulic drums on all four corners. The power steering ram was rebuilt in 2024. The seats have been reupholstered in tan leather and are accompanied by color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard, windshield surrounds, and doors, and additional appointments include air conditioning, electric windows, fold-down rear picnic tables, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a locking glove compartment, floor mats, and an aftermarket JVC head unit mounted to a slide-out tray with cupholders. The left-front window motor was rebuilt under current ownership. The dashboard clock is inoperative, and the selling dealer states that the rear air conditioning vents are covered when the top is in the lowered position. A black three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 75k miles, and the true mileage is unknown. The coolant temperature gauge was repaired and the temperature sending unit was replaced under current ownership. The 6.2-liter V8 features dual SU carburetors, the needles and seats of which were replaced under current ownership. The cylinder heads were removed in November 2023 and replacement valves and guides were fitted, a valve job was performed, and the heads were surfaced before they were reinstalled with replacement head gaskets. A thermostat was also installed along with replacement spark plugs, and the radiator was re-cored following the selling dealer’s acquisition. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Hydra-Matic-based four-speed automatic transmission. Exhaust leaks were repaired following the selling dealer’s acquisition. The car is titled in Florida using VIN LSJR131.
