This car has in the past few years been the subject of massive expenditure to bring it back to its former glory. The coachwork is by noted London coach builders Freestone & Webb in the form of a rakish sedanca with division.
The engine was treated to a lb35,000 rebuild by specialists McKenzie Guppy including new pistons, rebore, etc ect. As a result it is a paragon of smooth silent running & gives one an idea of how these cars were when new. Another lb35K or so has been spent on paint, trim & a whole host of other work.
The interior has had a full re-trim in light grey hide including the door cards. Matching sets of Wilton carpets were commissioned at the same time. The walnut was also stripped down & re-lacquered making the cabin an opulent place to be. Pleasingly, the original features were retained including the cocktail cabinet & rear alcove vanity sets which sit discreetly behind hinged doors & contain their original requisites such as hair brushes & perfume bottles.
The body was at the same time treated to a high quality two pack respray in the original colours of light grey with medium grey accents. It looks absolutely stunning, particularly in the half light at the end of the day. Indeed one can imagine where the moniker phantom came from when looking at the car. The sedanca roof material was also just replaced with new & the boot carpet renewed.
The car has been for the last four years amongst a small collection of Phantoms in Malaga Spain has returned to the UK in 2012. Now the car has been sold to Switzerland and has a propper Swiss registration. I must stress how good the condition of this car is & what a striking machine it is. We have just completed a pre-sale service on the car which included a new head gasket & oil change, tappet adjustment etc.

Rolls-Royce bringing art deco-inspired cars to Paris, celebrates with posters
Thu, 20 Sep 2012Rolls-Royce announced that it will be bringing some "art-deco inspired" cars to the 2012 Paris Motor Show, and while we really have no clue what that means just yet, we're sure the cars are going to be very expensive.
The images show what appears to be a stylized Rolls-Royce Phantom or Ghost in an artistic rendering that would look at home in South Beach. Like the cars, Rolls-Royce is going all out with the launch of these special cars with an invitation-only introduction including a champagne reception.
We only have to wait until next week to see what features and styling changes Rolls-Royce has in store for these new bespoke models, but for now, enjoy this trio of art deco goodness and check out the press release below.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe Waterspeed Collection is a real land yacht
Mon, 18 Aug 2014There aren't very many better places to show the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé Waterspeed Collection than at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Not only is this aquatic-themed land yacht parked on the Concept Car Lawn appropriately very near the Pacific Ocean, it's being seen by some of the most wealthy car enthusiasts in the world on one afternoon.
The car actually debuted in May in Europe, but Rolls-Royce decided to show it again to West Coast customers. This luxury droptop is dedicated to former British waterspeed record-holder Sir Malcolm Campbell, hence the name. Campbell used a boat powered by a Rolls-Royce R engine to reach 126.33 miles per hour in 1937 on a lake in Italy and break the old milestone. Later, he took the same craft to 129.5 mph to further establish his dominance.
The Phantom Waterspeed takes inspiration from these accomplishments with a two-tone look that mixes shining Maggiore Blue exterior paint and a brushed steel tonneau cover to replace the normal teak. The blue color scheme even extends to the engine and interior trim in combination with contrasting Windchill Grey leather. Rolls isn't building many of these marine-inspired leviathans; check one out on the lawn at Pebble Beach in our gallery.
Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II headed to Geneva
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Rolls-Royce is not a brand that replaces its vehicles with any great frequency. It expands its lineup, sure: what started with just the Phantom saloon has since grown to include extended wheelbase models, coupes and convertibles, not to mention the addition of the Ghost, followed by the Ghost EWB and the Wraith fastback. What Rolls does to keep its models fresh, however, is spruce them up with a Series II.
The Phantom family underwent just such a treatment a couple of years ago, and now Goodwood appears to be preparing to do the same with the Ghost. At least, that is, going by this teaser image it released with only the line, "After five years as the cornerstone of Rolls-Royce's sustainable growth success worldwide, this mid-life update is a showcase for the most recent technological advances from Rolls-Royce enrobed in a considered exterior design revision."
The arrival of the Ghost Series II at the Geneva Motor Show this year would put it significantly ahead of schedule for when Rolls updated the Phantom. That model arrived in 2003 and was followed by the Series II in 2012, giving the original a nine-year run virtually unchanged. The Ghost, however, only reached production in 2010, so introducing a Series II now would shorten that lifecycle to just four years.
