1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III — LHD, Air Conditioning
The final and finest Silver Cloud — V8 power, quad headlamps, and rare factory air conditioning.
The story
The Silver Cloud III was the last and most developed of the Silver Cloud line, distinguished by its quad headlamps and powered by the smooth 6.2-litre V8 that transformed the car's performance over the six-cylinder originals.
This left-hand-drive example carries factory air conditioning — a rare and expensive option in 1965 — making it as usable as it is elegant. Timelessly beautiful and endlessly in demand for prestigious events and weddings, well-kept LHD Cloud IIIs are increasingly hard to find.
