A low ownership car with a warranted 77,000 miles from new backed up by service bills & a long chain of MOT certificates.
The car is finished in its original colour of deep Burgundy with the paint being in good order thoughout. To the interior is blue/grey leather again in really lovely condition showing no wear whatsoever. Deep pile pale blue lambswool rugs are fitted front & rear. There are highly figured burr walnut picnic tables fitted for the use of the rear occupants. The car also has had air conditioning installed. The original headlining again in good order is also extant.
This Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3 comes to us with a large history file including the original paperwork & brochure that came with the car when new. An assortment of bills come with the car attesting to regular scheduled maintenence. A new fuel tank was also fitted. The car has just had a full service in late 2019 putting it in tip top runnning condition. We collected the car north of Manchester & drove it to London in unruffled silence.
This is a car that runs particularly well. The gear changes are smooth & impercetible. The engine is silent & powerful. A stainless steel exhaust system has also been fitted. The car comes with its original handbook in the glove compartment. We have to stress how well this car drives refelcted by the low miles covered since new. The ride is soft & undulating as it ought to be; the power steering play free & direct. Under the bonnet the engine bay is well detailed & very tidy thoughout having clearly been well cared for.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.
But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.
The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.
Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.
But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.
Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.
But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.
Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
