Condition

While the car has been well-maintained and has undergone mechanical and bodywork adjustments, the recent damage to the hood, including a tear in the canvas and a dent, indicates that it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition. However, its historical significance, recent care by reputable restorers, and overall solid mechanical condition suggest it is still in good shape, but requires some attention to address the transit damage.

After seven years of experiment and test, the 40/50hp six-cylinder Phantom chassis emerged, and is offered to the public as the most suitable type possible for a mechanically-propelled chassis under present-day conditions" (New Phantom launch brochure, May 1925).
By 1925, the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost had been upstaged by a younger generation of more technically advanced luxury cars.
The glory days of the 1913 Alpine Trials had long passed and both Henry Royce and Rolls-Royce sales manager Claude Johnson felt the need to produce a new claimant to the title 'best car in the world'.
Just as the competition between car manufacturers was becoming increasingly fierce, so that between rival coachbuilders had intensified correspondingly.
With the arrival of each faster, more powerful chassis came the opportunity to construct ever more lavish, sophisticated coachwork.
To ensure that their cars could be fitted with the finest bodies in the world, Rolls-Royce introduced the 'New Phantom'.
