The finish, both in detail and the broader sense of equipment and trim, is superb.'' - Motor magazine on the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III. Launched in 1962, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III and its Bentley S3 equivalent employed the 6.2-litre V8 engine introduced on the 'Cloud II/S2 - though with larger carburettors, new distributor and raised compression ratio - and came with a four-speed GM-derived automatic transmission as standard equipment. Most obvious among many changes from the preceding models was the adoption of four-headlamp lighting, the absence of sidelights from the wing tops, and a slightly lower radiator shell. Inside there was improved accommodation with separate front seats and increased room for rear passengers. Notable as the last mainstream Rolls-Royce to employ a separate chassis, the Silver Cloud III proved immensely successful both at home and abroad, remaining in production until the autumn of 1965. As well as the factory-bodied cars, bespoke creations from James Young and the recently merged firm of H.J.Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd continued to be available on the 'Cloud III' chassis for those discerning enthusiasts wealthy enough to afford them. Indeed, as the factory did not offer a convertible or drophead coupé, a coachbuilt car was the only option if one's preference was Rolls-Royce-style fresh air motoring. First introduced in 1958, H.J.Mulliner's drophead was the most successful of its type, lasting into 1963. Dating from the penultimate year of production and finished in black with grey leather interior, this car started life as a right-hand drive Silver Cloud III saloon, subsequently converted left-hand drive, drophead coupé configuration by Pilkington, a specialist workshop noted for its high quality conversions.
