About this car

This Silver Cloud III Drophead Coupé, bodied by Mulliner Park Ward, dates from the final year of Silver Cloud III production. The page describes it as the fourth-from-last right-hand-drive car built, which adds to the appeal of an already scarce coachbuilt open Rolls-Royce.

It was supplied new through HR Owen in London and is said to have stayed with its first owner throughout. It remains in its original combination of Valentine's Ming Blue paint, off-white leather and a white Everflex hood. Power comes from the 6.2-litre V8 with a four-speed automatic gearbox.

Hooper Coachbuilders carried out a comprehensive restoration in the 1990s, covering the exterior and the interior leather, carpets and wood veneer. No mileage or registration is given, and the price is on application.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Rolls-Royce factory specification for the Silver Cloud III: 6,230 cc L-series V8, front-engined, rear-wheel drive. Rolls-Royce did not publish a power output (it was quoted only as 'adequate'), and there is no confirmed factory weight, top speed or acceleration figure for this coachbuilt Mulliner Park Ward drophead, so those are left null.).

Engine: 6,230 cc, 8 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
