1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III drophead coupé used by Colin Farrell in 2010 crime noir film ‘London Boulevard’ to be auctioned
A 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III drophead coupé first owned by the Malaysian royal family and more recently used in the 2010 crime noir motion picture London Boulevard – starring Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley and Ray Winstone – is to be auctioned in London in December.
Professionally restored and featuring ‘Chinese Eye’ slanting headlamp nacelles, the car offered was the last off the production line to be registered and delivered new to Malaysia in June 1966. It remained there until the 2000s and was then registered in the UK by the managing director of the official Bentley dealership in Exeter in June 2009.
The 6.2-litre V8 car – chassis number CSC81C – will be sold by Bonhams at their Collector’s Motor Cars and Automobilia sale on 6th December at London Olympia. It will be offered with an estimate of £300,000 to £350,000 ($397,000 to $463,000, €338,000 to €395,000 or درهم1.5 million to درهم1.7 million).

An old ride I actually like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slitty eyed coolness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But not worth such a stupid price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheer idiocy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But give it me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great car with a good bit of gangster movie history to boost its credentials. Last off the production line and in great condition too. I imagine it will “sell well”.
The late Alan Whicker had one of these. I love the headlamps and I think this one is very reasonably priced.
