About this car

This Silver Cloud III is one of only 49 right-hand-drive cars bodied as a drophead coupe by Mulliner Park Ward to Design No 2045. Mechanically it matches the Bentley S3 Continental, with the differences limited to radiator, instrumentation and badging. The slanted twin-headlight styling stems from Vilhelm Koren's S2 Continental design.

Chassis SHS357C was completed in early 1965 and supplied through Jack Barclay to its first owner, Mr W.E. Stromeyer of Kent. It still wears its original colour combination of sand with a beige leather interior.

It has been modified in later years with wider chrome sill strips and a wooden cabinet in the front compartment for decanters and glasses. The dealer's workshop has recently prepared the car and has maintained it in recent years. It comes with its small tools. Mileage and registration are not stated.
