Description
This brightly painted yellow 1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud 3 was previously owned by Elton John. Its Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament is the form of a woman leaning forwards with her arms outstretched behind and above her. Billowing cloth runs from her arms to her back, resembling wings flying through the sky. The car is now owned by a collector in Southwest Florida, who assures us that he has not changed the custom paint job. Rolls-Royce Limited owned a British luxury-car and aero engine manufacturing business founded in 1904 by Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce.
