This car's remarkable history begins with its first owner, the legendary automobile enthusiast William Harrah, who owned over 3,000 classic cars and operated the renowned Harrah’s Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. Delivered to Mr. Harrah in November 1962, the car was originally finished in two shades of Grey with a luxurious Blue-Grey Cord broadcloth interior—an unusual choice instead of leather. The car also featured factory-installed air conditioning, a Blaupunkt AM-FM radio, and a glovebox-mounted altimeter, enhancing its already sophisticated specification. The vehicle's legacy continued when it was sold to a famous entertainer and personal friend of Mr. Harrah, who had the car refinished in a striking Mercer Brown lacquer with Chestnut Connolly hides, inspired by another Rolls-Royce in Harrah's collection. The interior Walnut Burl veneers, since refinished, are a breathtaking display of craftsmanship. Having been meticulously cared for by only a handful of dedicated owners, this example remains in excellent condition. In 2013, it was carefully prepared to show standards, and it has traveled just 861 miles since its last ownership change, bringing the total odometer reading to a low 97,230 miles. Freshly refinished in an elegant Antelope over Garnet color scheme, this Rolls-Royce is not only a visual masterpiece but also an outstanding performer on the road. With modern enhancements to its air conditioning and cooling systems, it combines timeless elegance with improved functionality. This SCT100 is arguably the finest left-hand drive example available anywhere in the world, having been thoroughly serviced and reviewed by experts for its next discerning owner. Whether you're an avid collector or a lover of classic luxury, this 1963 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III James Young Baby Phantom represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.
