Rare LHD & rear a/c. Glamorous Hollywood history!

1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Additional Info:

This ultra elegant Cloud lll is a star all on it's own but it also has a very glamorous Hollywood history. It can do some serious name dropping, more on that in a minute. Only 1,072 left hand drive Cloud llls were made in total. It is estimated that only 200 Cloud IIIs had rear a/c making this extremely rare and desirable. This car lived in southern California and has 62,654 actual miles. This car has been in our Cars of the Rich & Famous exhibit since 2011. We recently spent $4,000 servicing the car, the a/c even works! It runs as quiet as a mouse in slippers and rides like you are on a cloud!
It's star power: Aaron Spelling gifted this car to the highest paid, most recognized designer in Hollywood throughout the 80s, Nolan Miller. He chauffeured his celebrity friends such as Spelling, Sophia Loren, Joan Collins, Linda Evans, Lana Turner and Joan Crawford. Many times it was at red carpet events and award ceremonies (he was nominated 4 times for an Emmy). He owned the car 30 years, until 2010, and kept it maintained by a specialized shop.
EXTERIOR: The appearance of this car is a statement of elegance, class, and wealth. The Cloud lll was distinguishable by it's quad headlights. The body is in excellent shape. It is straight and has no rust or damage. Painted a glass finish black with only minor flaws you would have to look for. Overall, the chrome, trim, and glass are very good. The iconic grill and Lady of Ectasy ornament look amazing. Radial wide white wall tires add to it's tuxedo red carpet looks.
INTERIOR: Extremely rare front and rear air conditioning systems. Very well-kept original interior. The original Connolly leather is in excellent shape. Burlwood trim cut from the same tree is very good. In back it has dual folding picnic tables to set your Gray Poupon on. The original dash, knobs, gauges look great. The carpet is in excellent shape and is covered in lambs wool overlays. The back seat is especially comfortable, I didn't want to get out!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Original 6.2 litre V-8 produces an adequate 225 hp. It runs smooth. Overall good condition, maintained as needed. The a/c compressor was replaced and is functional.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Very good original condition. The light works. It has original carpeted floor. Under the floor is the spare, jack and tools.
UNDERSIDE: It looks to be very clean and orderly. The front end components are clean. We just spent about $3,500 on the brake system. The single exhaust has 3 mufflers keeping it quiet. L Looking up at the motor it actually looks spotless also the transmission Rolls-Royce used the GM 4-speed automatic hydramatic and then they tweaked them for use in their cars
SERVICE: We recently inspected and test drove the car. We extensively serviced the brakes and worked on the fuel system.
CONCLUSION: This is a low mile, well maintained Cloud lll with a great history. Make going to dinner and parties your own red carpet events, it will make you feel like a big shot!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
