Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Convertible Sedan, with coachwork by Hibbard & Darrin, was formerly owned by Jacquelyn de Rothschild and Rolls-Royce historian John Webb de Campi. Having only three owners in the last 30 years, it boasts a restored engine and body, though recommissioning is advised due to limited recent use.

Condition

6

The car has been sparingly shown and well stored, but little used in the last few years, so some recommissioning is recommended prior to active use. It possesses an enviable concours record but has been sparingly shown in the present ownership. There is no mention of any significant damage, but recommissioning is required. Therefore, I rate it as Good.
