1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III James Young SCT100 Touring Limousine
This Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III carries coachwork by James Young to style number SCT100, a touring limousine body that made its debut at the 1962 Earls Court Motor Show. One of only 20 examples built on the Silver Cloud III platform, it was originally delivered in right-hand drive to a customer in Britain before passing to a succession of Rolls-Royce Owners' Club members in the United States. A thorough restoration in the mid-1990s included a professional left-hand-drive conversion, full body refinish, and period-correct interior retrimming.
