The Silver Cloud III arrived in 1963. External dimensions were slightly tweaked, the interior remodelled, and the weight reduced by a little over 100 kg

The engine was improved with the addition of 2 inch SU Carburettors, replacing the 1.75 inch units of the Silver Cloud and compression ratio was increased. The transmission was a GM Hydramatic which Rolls-Royce used under licence.

The Silver Cloud III is distinguished by its quad headlamp being the main difference from the Series II.

 

The headlights grouped in a four-headlamp layout subsequently continued in the later Silver Shadow. Other external changes included a slightly increased slope of the bonnet, o correspond with a 1 1⁄2 inches reduction to the radiator grille.
