1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Saloon

Rolls-Royce built 2,044 examples of the standard Silver Cloud III. This particular example was delivered to Liverpool for shipment on January 29th of 1964 and arrived in New York on February 17th of 1964 and into the care of its first owner Luella D. Jeffery of Short Hills, New Jersey. It was finished in Shell Gray (ICI M 151-2582) over Blue Connolly leather (VM 3244). Inside there is a grey headliner, Ambassador Blue Wilton 100-percent wool carpeting, and burled walnut woodwork. Special order items included a radio antenna and power windows.

The 3,000 miles added to the vehicle while in Mrs. Jeffery's care were all chauffeur-driven. It was sold in 1969 to Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Mareton of Rockville Center, New York and retained it until 2014. During those 45 years, only 1,500 miles were added to the odometer. The car then came into the care of Richard Gorman of Miami, Florida, who had the car thoroughly serviced.

In 2017 it was sent to the 2017 Rolls-Royce National Meet in Asheville, North Carolina, where it won the Post-War Preservation award.

This car has the original wheels and tires which have just 4,600 miles of wear. The odometer has 4,732 actual miles making this the lowest-mileage Silver Cloud III known to exist.
