Introduced in 1925, the Phantom I was Rolls-Royce's second 40/50 hp model. To differentiate between the 40/50 hp models, Rolls-Royce named the new model New Phantom and renamed the old model Silver Ghost, which was the name given to their demonstration example,
The Phantom had a larger engine than the Silver Ghost and used pushrod-operated overhead valves instead of the Silver Ghost’s side valves. The Phantom was built in Derby in England and in Springfield, Massachusetts in the United States. There were several differences in specification between the English and American Phantoms. The Phantom was replaced by the Phantom II in 1929, at which point it was retrospectively called the Phantom I.

The Rolls Royce Phantom VI, what can you really say about it?
It's a gigantic piece of British luxury car building that takes all the features of the production Rolls Royces such as the Silver Cloud and the Shadow, and ups them ten-fold so that you too can have your very own Palace on wheels that cuts a great swathe through the hustling, bustling traffic! Of course servants, chefs and handmaidens are optional extras!
The Rolls Royce Phantom VI is basically just a retread of the Phantom V, but incorporating a more modern design with the quad headlight clusters, the Rolls Royce V8 from the Silver Shadow, and a modified dashboard. The first Phantom VI's were launched in 1968, and became the top-class car of the illustrious company, being built on request rather than at a steady production rate like the lower level Shadow and Corniche models. Coachwork was mostly built by Mulliner Park Ward of London, usually in the form of limousines like the one seen here, and was the last Rolls Royce to continue to be produced with a separate chassis, leaving it up to the customer to decide on a specific design of body. There were also several curious Landaulette versions built, which were basically convertible versions of the standard limousines, as well as two cars designed by Frua of Italy, their design looking more like the angular Camargue.
In 1977, a car was presented to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her Silver Jubilee, this car featuring a higher roofline for the Queen to wave from at passing crowds. This car was the Royal Household's State Car from 1977 until the introduction of the Bentley State Limousine in 2002 at the Golden Jubilee. When used by the Queen, the conventional Spirit of Ecstasy is replaced by a silver model of St George slaying the Dragon. This car also had the distinction of carrying Prince William and Kate Middleton to Westminster Abbey during the Royal Wedding of 2011. In 1986 the Royal Household took possession of a 2nd Phantom VI, but this car was just the standard limousine. This car gained notoriety in 2010 when Student Protesters attacked the car with the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall inside, the car being spattered with paint and one of the windows being smashed, but resulted in no injury to either Royal.
Most of these cars however were owned by either state officials such as ambassadors, governors, ministers and prime ministers (usually in the Commonwealth but also in many other nations such as Switzerland), or they were owned by incredibly, incredibly rich people who had a desire for something absolutely massive and disproportionate in terms of what it would be used for!
Eventually the Phantom VI came to the end of its official production life in 1990, with 374 examples built, an average of 17 cars per year over 22 years. However, individual models continued to be built, including the illusive and very, very strange Rolls Royce Cloudesque, one of four Phantom VI's that were built Post-Production for the Sultan of Brunei, a man who has gained a reputation for having owned a fleet of 1,000 Rolls Royce Silver Spirits in his Royal Household! He must really burn through those cars!
Today, unless the Royal Family is out on a day trip, you'd be very, very lucky to find these in everyday use. I was once again incredibly lucky to catch this one on the forecourt of the Dorchester Hotel, where many exotic luxury cars usually find themselves while their insanely rich owners spend a few days in London. :)
Which one would you pick? :)
The "Sport" car? Red Lamborghini LP640, white interior and with black rims (well, actually it's a Lamborghini murcielago with an LP640 kit). Or the "Classic" car? Beautiful and imposing Rolls Royce Phantom?

Amazing red Rolls Royce Phantom with plate number "1". Probably worth more than the car itself. Actually, I'm 100% sure.

Rolls Royce 40/50 New Phantom (1925-29) Engine 7668cc S6 OHV
Production 3512 (2269 at Derby, 1243, in Springfield Massachusetts,
Chassis Number 48HC
Registration Number TW 560 (Essex)

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

Introduced in 1925, the New Phantom was Rolls-Royce's second 40/50 hp model, replacing the first, which became popularly known as the Silver Ghost.
One major improvement over the first 40/50 was the new pushrod-OHV straight-6 engine. Constructed as two groups of three cylinders with a single detachable head, the engine was described by Rolls-Royce as producing "sufficient" power. The 7.7-litre engine's cylinder heads were upgraded in 1928 from cast iron to aluminium; this caused corrosion problems. The separate gearbox connected through a rubberised fabric flexible coupling to the clutch and through a torque tube enclosed drive to the differential at rear, as in the original 40/50.
The New Phantom used the same frame as the original 40/50 with semi-elliptical springs suspending the front axle and cantilever springs suspending the rear axle. Four-wheel brakes with a servo-assistance system licensed from Hispano-Suiza were also specified, though some early US models were apparently lacking front brakes.
The New Phantom was constructed both at Rolls-Royces' Derby factory in the UK and at a factory in Springfield, MA., in the USA. The US factory produced New Phantoms from 1926 to 1931.
Perhaps surprisingly, only the chassis and mechanical parts of the car 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, Thrupp & Maberly, Mulliner, Hooper and the Italian coachbuilder Zagato. American Phantoms could be bought with standardised bodies from Brewster & Co., which was owned by Rolls-Royce.
I saw the above example, registration EL 1713, at the 2015 Wings and Wheels Show at the Shuttleworth Collection's Old Warden aerodrome.

1955 or 2015? There's very little to tell the difference, except for the fact that its a 1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud out front, the chariot of choice for the super rich of a bygone age.
