1966 Rolls Royce Phantom V PV23.

With it s sleek all aluminium lines, the James Young Phantom V is regarded as the most elegant post war limousine.

This particular example was further enhanced with the Hooper rear quarter light giving it the designation of the PV23, one of only 26 built to this specification.

This car was purchased in England by a man named Myron Shane for his daughter s wedding to film director John Huston.

It was shipped to Santa Barbara California where it spent most of it s life.

It was then sold to film director William Malone around 1998 who did an extensive cosmetic restoration.

The leather work was done by renown RR upholsterer Thomas Hilborn.

The woodwork was done by Malone who had previously worked for Roll-Royce in America in that capacity.

An absolutely lovely car and one of the last James Young PVs built
