Description
Rolls-Royce Derby Phantom I (New Phantom 40/ 50) from 1929 ordered on a long chassis by a certain Miss Watson in December 1928 and sent to coachbuilder Hooper in January 1929 for finishing to the client's specifications. The Phantom was the flagship model of the renowned British manufacturer, nicknamed "the best car in the world".
Coachbuilt as an "Open Tourer", a 4-door convertible sometimes called a "Torpedo". 7. 7L displacement (6-cylinder inline engine) with aluminium cylinder head.

21-inch Michelin tyres. Long-range lights. Lucas headlamps. Rear boot. Side-screens (lateral protections).
The car is in very sound condition (underwent a comprehensive restoration some fifteen years ago) and remains in excellent overall state.
Moreover, it has just undergone major engine, brake, suspension and carburettor overhaul for approximately €9, 000 and runs very well. A video of the engine running is available upon request.
