1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III From ‘Magic Mike’ Heads to Auction

A 1964 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III that appeared in the film Magic Mike’s Last Dance is preparing to cross the auction block in England, offering collectors a blend of cinematic history and classic British luxury.

The car is scheduled to be sold March 18 in Nottinghamshire through H&H Classics, with a top estimate of 45,000 British pounds, or about $61,000. Prospective buyers will have an opportunity to view the vehicle in person the day before the sale.

Beyond its on-screen appearance, the Silver Cloud III carries a distinctive feature tied to one of its former owners. According to the auction house, the car was specially trimmed with non-reflective leather intended to reduce glare from camera flashes. The modification was commissioned by its first owner, Kenneth Shipman, who was known for counting prominent celebrities among his friends. The customized interior was designed to ensure passengers appeared clearly in photographs taken amid heavy media attention.

The car later belonged to Philip Carter, a British businessman and former honorary vice president of Chelsea Football Club. Accompanying documentation details its history and upkeep. In 2019, approximately 80,000 British pounds, or around $108,000, was invested in restoration work. Since then, the Rolls-Royce has largely served as a display piece, often positioned outside restaurants as a decorative showpiece.

The Silver Cloud model line was produced in Crewe, England, from 1955 to 1966, with 7,372 examples built during its run. Early versions were powered by an inline six-cylinder engine and weighed close to two tons, reaching 60 mph in 13.5 seconds. The Silver Cloud III, introduced in 1963 as the final iteration, featured a 6.2-liter V-8 engine producing 220 horsepower.

While performance was never the primary selling point for the stately sedan, the Silver Cloud III became known for its smooth power delivery and refined presence. Now, one example with both Hollywood credentials and a carefully documented past is poised to find a new owner.
