Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Lightly scratched bumper chrome. Paint chips around the filler cap. Small scratch on right front door. Cracks just above the wheel on the left front fender. Another long crack just in front of the driver door. A few scuffs and a chip on the left drip rail. Tidy used engine bay. Lightly worn upholstery. Some cracks in the wood around the windows and a bit of wiring hanging out near one rear speaker. The last coachbuilt long-wheelbase Silver Cloud III built, this car is showing its age and displaying a number of issues but is overall definitely presentable and has a long documented ownership history. Long stored, it also needs mechanical sorting, so although it is rare and very attractive, it is neither usable nor showable as-is.
Market commentary
The new owner will need an extra deep garage to accommodate this imposing Rolls-Royce. In its specifications, history and preservation it is also as exceptional as in its presence and luxury and brought a fully deserved price even taking into account the work it will need before it once again sweeps down the highway in stately elegance and comfort.
