The Rolls-Royce Phantom was Rolls-Royce's replacement for the original Silver Ghost. Introduced as the New Phantom in 1925, the Phantom had a larger 7668cc pushrod-OHV straight-6 engine, which was a a bi-bloc engine rather than the mono bloc of the of the Twenty, but with similar pushrod OHV and it incurred less tax than the Silver Ghost despite having a greater capacity. The New Phantom used the same frame as the Silver Ghost with semi-elliptical springs suspending the front axle and cantilever springs at the rear, it also used four wheel hydraulic brakes with a servo-assistance system licensed from Hispano-Suiza were also specified though some early US supplied cars were rear braking only.
Only the chassis and mechanical parts were produced by Rolls-Royce. The body was made and fitted by a coachbuilder selected by the owner. Coachbuilders who produced bodies for New Phantom cars included Barker, Park Ward, Biddle and Smart, Thrupp + Maberly, Mulliner, Hooper and the Italian coachbuilder Zagato. American Phantoms could be bought with standardized bodies from Brewster & Co a Rolls Royce subsidiary along with additional options, notably from Fleetwood
48HC
was originally ordered by Sir Heath Harrison Bart and bodied for him by Lawton Goodman as a 6 passenger limousine with twin spare wheels, which replaced his previous Lawton bodied Ghost. The car was converted into a hearse some time after his and his wifes deaths in the late 30s, the hearse body subsequently being removed in the early 1960s. The car has been off the road since then
