Finished in Black Masons with a Beige Connolly leather interior, a Fawn headliner, and Cumberland Stone carpet, this Silver Cloud III was ordered new by Cliff Baker of Elcon Manufacturing Co. of Los Angeles, California. Ordered through Peter Satori's renowned Southern California distributorship, it was specified with a Blaupunkt Köln, Hirschmann electric aerial, electric windows, Firestone tubeless whitewall tires, plain Sundym glass, lambswool rugs in the rear in Cumberland Stone, modified Fawn front safety belts with single-point mounting, single-point mounting for the rear belts, and a Lucas sideview mirror mounted to the driver's vent window frame. Once the final checks were completed at Crewe, the completed car was brought to the famous Lillie Hall for Baker to take "home delivery" on 24 October 1962 in England. Following a memorable trip in the United Kingdom with their new Rolls-Royce, the car was shipped to Los Angeles on 3 November via the Drina.



The history shows that the Silver Cloud later resided in North Carolina and Illinois prior to being purchased by a collector in New Jersey in 1997. At the time, the car had been serviced by Vantage Motorworks and was reported to have covered just 32,000 original miles. Having remained in the same collection for nearly three decades, it was sparingly used when it entered The Casa Bella Macchina Collection in 2024, with just under 43,000 miles.



In November 2025, the car visited the experts at Vantage Motor Works, where it received a comprehensive service including an engine oil change and spark plug replacement. The work also included overhauling the front and rear wheel cylinders, a ride height adjustment, and replacing both the thermostat and fuel filter, as well as the fitment of four new BF Goodrich whitewall tires and servicing of the air conditioning system, bringing the total investment to nearly $17,000. Today, this well-presented Silver Cloud III is offered with 43,000 miles recorded at cataloging, and is furnished with a detailed history file and tools.
