<strong>1963 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD III LONG WHEELBASE&nbsp;</strong><strong>JAMES YOUNG DESIGN SCT100&nbsp;</strong><strong>Baby Phantom Alloy Bodied Touring Saloon&nbsp; </strong><br /><strong>#LCAL17</strong><br />&nbsp;<br />The second of only 7 left drives built to this configuration from 1963-1965, only two of which were supplied with individual front seating rather than divider partitions.<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>HISTORY:</strong>&nbsp;<br />The very comprehensive factory &amp; coachbuilder records show William Harrah as the first owner.&nbsp; Mr. Harrah was a pioneer automobile enthusiast who established a fantastic 3,000+ car museum at his hotel &amp; casino facility in Reno, Nevada.&nbsp; He also owned Modern Classic Motors, the Rolls-Royce &amp; Ferrari distributorship for that area of the US.<br />&nbsp;<br />LCAL17 was delivered to Mr. Harrah on 7 November, 1962 finished in two shades of Grey with Blue-Grey Cord broadcloth (rather than leather) interior.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />It was part of Mr. Harrah's legendary stable of Rolls-Royces until its resale a few years later to a well-known celebrity entertainer &amp; personal friend of his (name upon request) who reportedly admired the color layout used for 5LVF129, a 6,500+ mile 1967 James Young PV16 Formal Limousine displayed in the museum.&nbsp; This car was refinished to his order in the same Mercer Brown TN927 lacquer with VM859 Chestnut Connolly hides.<br /><br />This never damaged specimen remained in his collection until late 2013 when it was purchased through an agent by ourselves &amp; supplied to its third careful owner after we carefully prepared it to show standards per the request of that gentleman, a long-time client and friend of ours. The odometer reading at that time was 96,369.<br />&nbsp;<br />Traded back to us against a James Young PV23 Touring Limousine, it has traveled only 861 miles since.&nbsp; The dated Mercer Brown exterior has been freshly re-lacquered in Antelope over Garnet, an especially elegant color layout of the era.&nbsp;&nbsp; The effectiveness of the original limousine specification air conditioning &amp; engine cooling systems have since been dramatically increased by ourselves utilizing more modern technology.&nbsp;The Walnut Burl veneers since refinished at our facility are of a particularly beautiful pattern.<br />The Blaupunkt AM-FM radio &amp; glovebox door mounted altimeter shown were part of the original specification.<br />&nbsp;<br />This spectacular performer is by far the finest (and perhaps the only) left drive SCT100 available anywhere in the world.&nbsp; We have thoroughly reviewed and serviced and this delightful performer for the enjoyment of its next owner.&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong> *** RECENT PRICE ADJUSTMENT ***</strong>
