This alloy-bodied example is a Mulliner Park Ward coupe. There were 2,809 examples of the Silver Cloud III produced, and 2,555 had the 123-inch wheelbase. Just 328 examples were fitted with coach-built bodies. There were just 65 examples of the Mulliner Park Ward Design 2045 Coupe produced.
Mechanical advancements for the Silver Cloud III included a compression increase to 9.0:1 for the aluminum block-and-head 6.2-liter V-8, enlarged carburetors, and a corresponding output boost of some 20 estimated horsepower. The Silver Cloud III also had such standard features as a four-speed automatic gearbox, power-assisted brakes, a radio, and a heater.
This coupe is an original left-hand drive example that was delivered new to Vincent P. Cronin of New York on April 5th, 1965. Optional features included on this car included whitewall Firestone tires, electric window lifts, an emergency hand window winder, plain Sundym glass all around and a Radiomobile electric aerial with a 'T' key.
The car was purchased by Mr. Will in 1974 and retained it for the next 36 years.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at RM Auctions' Arizona sale where it was estimated to sell for $125,000 - $175,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for $104,500, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2011
