The 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III, known for its appearance in Magic Mike’s Last Dance, is scheduled for auction on March 18 in Nottinghamshire, England, via H&H Classics. Bidders can inspect the vehicle in person the day prior to the sale. The auction house estimates the top value at 45,000 British pounds, equivalent to approximately $61,000.
This particular Silver Cloud III features a unique customization from its first owner, Kenneth Shipman, who had the interior trimmed with non-reflective leather to minimize glare from camera flashes. Shipman, who counted prominent celebrities among his friends, commissioned the modification to ensure clear photographs during media events. The car later passed to Philip Carter, a British businessman and former honorary vice president of Chelsea Football Club. Documentation accompanying the vehicle outlines its ownership history and maintenance.
In 2019, around 80,000 British pounds—about $108,000—was spent on restoration work. Following this, the Rolls-Royce has primarily been used as a static display, often placed outside restaurants to attract attention.
The Silver Cloud series was manufactured in Crewe, England, from 1955 to 1966, with a total of 7,372 units produced. Initial models used an inline six-cylinder engine and weighed nearly two tons, achieving 60 mph in 13.5 seconds. The Silver Cloud III, launched in 1963 as the final variant, was equipped with a 6.2-liter V-8 engine delivering 220 horsepower. Renowned for its smooth performance and elegant demeanor, this example combines cinematic provenance with a well-preserved legacy.
