1959\u21921968 Rolls-Royce Phantom V<\/h1>\n

When it came time to replace the aging Silver Wraith in 1959 \u2013 an endearingly classic design with underpinnings that dated as far back as the pre-war Wraith \u2013 Rolls-Royce decided to revive the legendary Phantom badge, reviving a lineage that had sat dormant since production of the ultra-limited Phantom IV ceased in 1956.<\/span><\/p>\n

Between 1959 and 1968, a relatively low-volume run of 832 Phantom Vs were produced, making it quite rare and equally desirable. A 6,230 cc 90\u02da overhead valve V-8 engine provided the Phantom V with adequate power and, mated exclusively to a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, was capable of propelling the more than 5,600 lb. limousine to speeds of over 100 mph, making it an uncommonly fast luxury vehicle for its time.<\/p>\n

A stately tourer through and through, the Phantom V was the preferred method of transport for some of the world\u2019s most famous people, with owners ranging from pop culture icons of the day like John Lennon, to European royalty such as Queen Elizabeth II and King Olav V of Norway. A Phantom V was even used as a ceremonial vehicle for the Governor of Hong Kong prior to Britain\u2019s handover of the region to China in 1997, making the Phantom V a pseudo-symbol of the British Empire\u2019s global reach.<\/p>\n

1964 Rolls-Royce Phantom V James Young 7-Passenger Limousine 5LVA121<\/a> – sold for \u20ac185,639
\nAccording to Lawrence Dalton in his book, Rolls-Royce \u2013 The Classic Elegance, 5LVA121 was first delivered to Italy in February 1964. The vendor has informed us the car was later owned by New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, although RM does not currently have corroborative documentation. Since joining the Hooper Corporate Collection, it has been displayed for many years in the Auto & Technik Museum in Sinsheim, Germany. It was totally restored in the late-1980s by Hooper & Co. (Coachbuilders) Ltd. and, underhood, shows typical road use and minor wear. It is said to be in good running order. The lovely dark blue exterior is complemented by sumptuous biscuit leather and striking book-matched burl walnut in both the driver and passenger compartments. The passenger compartment is highlighted by its centre console armrest, picnic tables, decanter compartment, jump seats, and occasional pillows crafted of matching leather. All in all, this is a lovely example of one of Rolls-Royces grandest limousines and probably one of the best in existence.Auction Source: <\/b>2010 Automobiles of London by RM Auctions<\/a><\/p>\n

1962 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Seven-Passenger Limousine<\/a> – sold for $88,000\u00a0The Phantom we are pleased to offer here has a noteworthy history. Chassis 5 LCG 25 was job number 9033 at coachbuilders James Young. The PV15 design is a seven-passenger limousine and this car was displayed at the 1962 Geneva Motor Show. At the close of the exhibition, the Phantom V was delivered to 8c, Avenue de Miremont in Geneva, the local residence of its first owner Althani Ahmed, Prince of Qatar. When delivered, it was equipped with optional rear roof-ducted refrigeration, rear speedometer, Sundym tinted glass, adjustable footrests, bar and sunshine roof as well as a speedometer in kilometers.<\/p>\n

\n

For the past two decades the car has been resident in southern California in the care of its last two owners, both RROC members. From mid-1992 to early 1993, it was the subject of a major restoration at Hill & Vaughn in Marina del Rey, California, at a cost of approximately $50,000. At this time, the original color scheme of black with beige hides in front, beige cloth in rear was changed to the present Pewter over black with beige hides front and rear. The current owner purchased the Phantom in January 2006 at which time the odometer read 50,143 km.<\/p>\n

The car presents extremely well, with excellent shut lines and panel fit. A few small defects can be seen in the paint, but only upon closest inspection. The interior is comfortably settled in and the extensive wood trim is complete, showing only minor areas of wear. The Phantom V has been well-maintained mechanically and runs and drives as it should. Freshly serviced prior to this sale, it will be supplied with handbook and all documentation of the restoration and maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V H.J. Mulliner Five-Seat Limousine<\/a> – sold for \u20ac50,400\u00a0This particular five-seat Phantom V was Rolls-Royce\u2019s Earls Court Motor Show car in 1960 and was featured in the book The Post War Phantoms IV, V & VI by Martin Bennett. It is one of only eight Phantom Vs of H.J. Mulliner\u2019s design no. 7516, which was intended to rival the most elegant touring limousines by James Young. In fact, it is quite similar to Park Ward design 980, a seven-seat limousine. After Rolls-Royce bought H.J. Mulliner, however, the touring limousine was developed from design 980, rendering these 7516 cars quite rare indeed.<\/p>\n

\n

Prior to its acquisition by the Zach Collection, this Phantom V received a complete restoration between 2004 and 2005, which included a bare-metal repaint, restoration of the undercarriage and rebuilding of the engine and transmission. Bills amounting to over \u00a375,000 are included. Following its restoration, it won a Judge\u2019s Choice award in 2006 at a large RREC event on the Isle of Man. Special features include an electric division window, cocktail cabinet with cut glass accessories and lovely wooden tray tables.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
