• Returned to the UK in July 1994
• Dry stored for the last 29 years
• Converted to drophead coupé configuration
• Desirable Left-hand drive specification in immaculate condition

This outstanding car comes with Rolls-Royce build records, which show that chassis 'LSFU657' was built as a left-hand drive saloon to USA specifications. It was supplied directly to Rolls Royce Inc, New York and sold to a private owner in Florida. The car remained in the USA until July 1994 when it was brought back to the UK and subsequently purchased by the current owner.

The Silver Cloud has been dry stored for the last 29 years, covering only an additional 140 miles in that time. During the current ownership car has been converted from a four-door saloon to a two-door drophead coupé. Keeping with the original body style, the conversion work has been carried out by a highly skilled craftsman and includes the fabrication of the roof mechanism, new wings and sills (list of works available). As part of the conversion the car has undergone a bare-metal respray, changing the colour to the striking deep blue seen today. The paintwork is in immaculate condition, as is the new black convertible top.

New luxurious cream leather trim with stunning blue piping and an elegant new hood makes this car one of the most outstanding examples of a Silver Cloud III drophead. Our vendor advises us that no detail has been overlooked during the work on this car, from the re-chroming of the brightwork to the newly veneered woodwork installed, every little detail being carefully considered and restored to the highest standard. The dark blue carpets compliment the look of the car beautifully. The burr walnut trims have been restored and are in beautiful condition, including those of the occasional picnic tables in the rear. Now boasting four electric windows and a power hood, this beautiful drophead coupé also comes complete with a matching cream leather hood bag, jack and tool kit.
Mechanically this car is said to be in great condition; recent works include a new steering box, radiator hoses, thermostat replacement, air conditioning service (including new compressor), new fuel pump, exhaust system, water pump, brake cylinders all round, two new master cylinders, replacement of brake flexi hoses, brake fluid change, oil/filter change, new battery, and replacement of both front anti-roll bar bushes. A list of new parts fitted is available. According to our vendor, this car drives like new and is shake and rattle free, while the hood glides up and down at the touch of a button. As a desirable left-hand-drive example this Cloud III would be the perfect cruising partner on the cote d'azur. Offered with a handbook and V5C document.
