Rolls-Royce Phantom II 3 Barker Razor Edge Sedanca. 1937

General description : 1937 Rolls Royce Phantom 3 Barker Razor Edge Sedanca.

Chassis number: 3-CP-186
Registration number: MMN425W

Forming part of a small collection, this car has been maintained without regard to expense.  Indeed it has recently had a very high quality repaint with over £35k being spent upon the car to take it back to bare metal prior to refinishing in its original clours of pale yellow & Masons black.

Coachwork is a particularly graceful sedanca by famed coachbuilders Barker & co featuring razor edged lines to the rear roof & boot area.  The boot folds open revealing a large luggage area & also has provision for additional cases to be strapped to the surface of the open boot lid.

The V12 engine is in fine fettle running cool & quietly whilst starting readily & simply wafting one down the road.  Some small tools are present under the drivers & passengers seats.  Indicated mileage is 65,199 as of time of writing.

The dash board is burr walnut & has the typical oval centre used by Barker on cars of this period.

To the interior is beige hide throughout of recent origin & particularly pleasant large expanses of burr walnut to the passenger compartment.  An electric division glides up & down to separate the working quarters from the rear seats.  Occasional tables, an occasional seat & twin foot rests are fitted to the car.

Resplendent with its full set of colour coded ace whel discs, the car presents beautifully & has huge presence on the road.  A good phantom 3 in fine order really is the pinnacle of pre war Rolls Royce motoring & this is a great example of the genre.

About Rolls-Royce
Well, ladies and gentlemen, today we're diving into the illustrious history of a brand that has always embodied the very essence of British luxury and craftsmanship - Rolls-Royce.

Our story begins at the turn of the 20th century when two visionaries, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, decided to join forces. In 1904, the very first Rolls-Royce was born, the Rolls-Royce 10 hp. It was a modest start for a company that would go on to redefine automotive excellence.

But it wasn't until 1907 that Rolls-Royce truly made its mark with the introduction of the Silver Ghost. It was hailed as the "Best Car in the World" and set the gold standard for luxury motoring. With its whisper-quiet engine and exquisite craftsmanship, it was a statement of opulence and refinement.

The 1920s brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom I, an icon of its time. It was the first Rolls-Royce to feature a 6-cylinder engine and set the stage for the legendary Phantom line. This was the era when the Maharajas of India commissioned custom-bodied Rolls-Royces that were nothing short of automotive palaces.

Fast forward to the post-war years, and we have the Silver Cloud, a symbol of post-war British optimism. The Silver Cloud was elegance personified, with its flowing lines and handcrafted interiors. It was the choice of royalty, celebrities, and captains of industry.

But if we're talking about the epitome of Rolls-Royce luxury, it's the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which graced us with its presence from 1968 to 1991. This was a car that made the statement that "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it." Customization was the name of the game, and the Phantom VI was a canvas for the world's wealthiest to express their unique tastes.

Now, it's impossible to discuss Rolls-Royce without mentioning the Rolls-Royce Corniche. Produced from 1971 to 1995, it was a convertible and coupe version of the Silver Shadow. The Corniche was the quintessential grand tourer, a car for those who wished to traverse continents in absolute luxury.

But, alas, even the mightiest must face their decline, and Rolls-Royce was no exception. The company went through financial turmoil in the 1970s and 80s, leading to the takeover by Vickers plc. Then came the controversial BMW and Volkswagen ownership period, which divided enthusiasts.

Rolls-Royce regained its footing under BMW ownership, and the new millennium brought us the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, a return to the company's roots of uncompromising luxury. The Phantom VII was a testament to British engineering and craftsmanship.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to today. Rolls-Royce continues to produce some of the most opulent, bespoke vehicles on the planet, a symbol of British imperiousness that has not waned with time. The spirit of Sir Henry Royce and Charles Rolls lives on in every car that bears the Spirit of Ecstasy, a testament to the enduring legacy of British automotive excellence.
