1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Long Wheelbase Touring Limo

This James Young Touring Limousine is the first of only seven left-hand drive all-aluminum examples built from 1963-1964. This Silver Cloud III long-wheelbase car is finished in Midnight Blue over Blue Grey hides. It was taken straight from the factory to the Paris Salon, where it was displayed by the French importer Franco Britannic Autos. It was delivered in September 1962 to its first owner a Mrs. H. Worms of Paris, France. The car came to the USA in 1977 when Mr. William Whitehouse of New Jersey purchased it. In 1984, owner Mitch Leigh, the producer of 'The King and I' granted access to the car to famed actor Yul Brynner. This gave rise to the inaccurate belief that the car belonged to Mr. Brynner.

Some of the wonderful features on this car are: rear division window, electric aerial and windows, rear reading lamps, Speedo in KPH, lambs-wool rugs, and vanity accessories. It is equipped with air conditioning, power steering and power window lifts. In the rear armrest, there is a leather-covered flask of the era accompanied by a set of Waterford Crystal glasses. It also retains its full complement of books and tools along with all of the factory records.

The current stewards of the car have devoted considerable resources to upgrading the restoration of the car and exercising it frequently.
