About this car

The Flying Spur was H.J. Mulliner's coachbuilt four-door body on the Silver Cloud III chassis, and the page puts production of this design at just 54 cars. It has an aluminium body, which adds to its rarity.

This car is finished in very dark blue over newer stone-coloured leather, with the interior woodwork removed and refinished. A full-length Webasto sunroof is fitted, along with power steering and air conditioning. The indicated mileage is 64,972.

It has been with one owner for almost two decades, an RREC member who used it regularly but sparingly. Five club badges on the front include one marking a 2005 tour of Borneo. The dealer says it has just been gone through and prepared for sale.
