Harry's Thoughts

This is a beautiful US delivery Silver Cloud III that was restored by Vantage Motors. Gorgeous car with AC that can be enjoyed immediately.

THE ESSENTIALS

This is a beautiful 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III that has been restored by Vantage Motors. This Rolls is ready to be enjoyed either for touring or shown at local and regional car shows. LSFU223 is a well-equipped LHD US Delivery example with air conditioning, power steering, and electric windows. The Silver Cloud IIIs are a desirable model, being the last in their series, making them in high demand. 

This Rolls was ordered new in 1964 by Mr. R C P Webster from Maitland, Ontario who was known for his mechanical engineering ingenuity with being instrumental in the first electric refrigerator. This Rolls was acquired by John W Blair in South Orange, New Jersey then stayed in South Orange when it was sold to Irwin Francis in 1977.  Atilla Eagleman acquired this Rolls in 1994 and kept until 2003. Vantage Motors purchased the Rolls and completed the restoration. The present owner has enjoyed the Rolls since 2004.  This Rolls has accumulated 91,000 miles from new. 

LSFU223 was originally delivered with Black Pearl livery and was benefited from a color change during its restoration at Vantage Motors in North Miami. Bare metal, window out respray that is in beautiful overall condition today. The shine and luster of the Sand color is eye catching especially in the sunlight with only minimal chips in high use areas. The chrome and stainless-steel trim is in very good to excellent condition. The black pinstriping and America Classic bias ply wide white wall tires complement the Sand livery.  

The overall condition of the interior is very good to excellent reflecting light patina reflecting normal use since the restoration was completed. The interior features the traditional Rolls-Royce burl walnut that has been refinished and is in excellent condition. The beige leather upholstery is in good condition with normal creasing with age and use, but it is without tears. There is front air conditioning and has been upgraded to a modern stereo system. The beige Wilton wool carpet has limited wear from normal use. This would make a wonderful modern classic driver that can be shown with pride.  

The engine compartment is well detailed and has been maintained regularly with annual services performed by marque specialists. The venerable 6.23-liter V8 proved to be the longest produced V8 in automobile history.  It has proven to be very robust, powerful and smooth. The four-speed Hydramatic transmission was rebuilt in 2022 by British Automative Works in Scottsdale, Arizona. The most recent service was performed in April 2025. This Rolls starts easily warm or cold with a drive feeling tight with no unwanted noises. 

LSFU223 comes complete with most of the large and small tools, owner’s handbook, service records for the past two decades, the factory build sheets and ownership history.  

We have this Silver Cloud III priced well and fairly, making appropriate adjustments for its condition and air conditioning.

The Silver Cloud III was first displayed to the public at the Paris salon at the beginning of October 1962 but along with the Bentley S3 the cars were displayed on a specialist coachwork stand as if the modifications were to the special order of a particular customer.  External dimensions were slightly altered, the interior remodeled, the weight reduced by a little over 100 kg (220 lb) and improvements made to the engine which included fitting 2-inch (51 mm) SU carburetors in place of the ​1 34 inch units used on the Series II Silver Cloud.   The compression ratio was increased to 9:1, reflecting the higher octane levels of premium fuel in major markets,  although the option of a lower 8:1 compression ratio was still offered in markets where non-availability of higher octane fuels might be an issue.  Rolls-Royce, as before, refused to disclose overall engine power output, but indicated that there had been an improvement of "perhaps 7%".   Increased power and weight reduction boosted speed and performance slightly. The engine now included a nitride hardened crankshaft to reflect the extra power being generated and in response to reports of broken crankshafts in the earlier V8 Silver Clouds.  The transmission was a GM Hydramatic which Rolls-Royce used under license.  The headlights were grouped in a four-headlamp layout subsequently continued in the later Silver Shadow. Other external changes included a slightly increased slope of the bonnet to correspond with a 1 12 inches (3.8 cm) reduction in radiator grille height.
