Buyer’s notes
About the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III
The Silver Cloud III of autumn 1962 was the last of the Clouds, recognisable by its four headlamps, a lower bonnet and radiator shell and smaller bumpers. It kept the V8, and 254 were built on the long-wheelbase chassis.
What moves the price
- Body condition: rust repair can cost more than the car is worth.
- Coachwork: long-wheelbase and coachbuilt cars are a separate market from the standard saloon.
- Mechanical history: records of work on the engine and the automatic gearbox.
Before you buy, check
- The sills and inner sills, wing edges, door bottoms, boot floor, body-to-chassis mounts and the chassis leg under the battery.
- The automatic gearbox, which can need a rebuild if the car has stood, and an engine that runs smoothly.
- The brakes, whose servo is driven by the gearbox and works only when the car is moving, and wear in the front suspension.
