COYS • Netherlands • 16 Jan 2016
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III limousine with a Barker & Co. body, originally commissioned by Norman McCallum. It features a V12 engine, independent front suspension, and luxurious appointments like a division, rear luggage rack, and occasional seats. The car has a documented history with build sheets and EU registration, but its long ownership history suggests potential wear and tear, making a physical inspection essential for a complete condition assessment.
Condition
7
The car is described as a 'supremely rare and authentic motorcar' and a 'fine example' of Barker's limousine designs. It comes with copies of build sheets and EU registration documents, suggesting good provenance and documentation. However, the listing also mentions it was traded in 1954 and owned by multiple people since, including a French owner in the 1970s. This indicates likely wear and potential restoration work over the years, but no specific details are provided about its current cosmetic or mechanical condition. Without a recent inspection report, a 'Very Good' rating seems appropriate, acknowledging its age and history.

It was thus that Rolls-Royce introduced the all new Phantom III in late 1935.
Visually, the model was distinguishable from the Phantom II in having its radiator mounted forward rather than above the front axle, but beneath, the differences were manifold.
At its heart was a superb new and complex, overhead valve V12 alloy engine, of 7,338cc, with cast-iron liners, seven main bearings, hydraulic tappets, triple pressure lubrication system and twin coil ignition.
Technically advanced and highly refined, it produced 165bhp at 3,000rpm with such ample torque that it was hardly necessary to use the four speed gearbox.
The new and immensely strong, box section chassis – with eight inch shorter wheelbase than the Phantom II and with built-in hydraulic jacks – also...
