Allmän beskrivning :
1936 Rolls Royce Phantom III Sedanca de Ville
Chassis number: 3AZ176
Registration number: TYJ 716
An imposing car with very striking Sedanca de ville coachwork by H.J. Mulliner of Chiswick. The car is rakish in the extreme with rear slanting body lines giving an impression of speed & grace even when at standstill.
This car has been in long term ownership for over two decades & during that time has been well card for as evidenced by the three thick files of bills coming with the car. Or importance are bills for new pistons, wet liners, Cam shaft re-profiling, radiator core etc etc etc. Thus all the major mechanical work has been done leaving the car ready for extended grand touring in the grandest of senses.
The car is finished in its original colour black with a full re-spray having been completed not so long ago. The paint polishes up beautifully to a deep lustreous shine & is unmarked. The sedanca roof is of the solid slide out variety easily opened & shut as required. The windscreen also cranks open to provide a pleasant stream of fresh air into the cockpit. To the interior is Brand new Maroon leather up similar hide to the rear seats. The car has occasional seats that fold out of the bulkhead & also foot rests when the occasional seats are not deployed. The carpets are also of a matching deep maroon. Rear Woodwork is mahogany whilst front woodwork is a piano black finish.
The car drives magnificently & has a real presence when on the road. The V12 pulls strongly & allows one to effortlessly cruise at modern traffic speeds.
The previous owner lists the following works as having been done during his tenure:
Work carried out in the current ownership includes:
Engine:
"The engine was overhauled in the car whilst the front wings were removed. Radiator, lower crank case, wheelcase and cylinder heads were removed. The wet liners were replaced and new pistons and piston rings fitted. Deposits were removed from the engine water passages. The camshaft and cam followers were built up with Stellite by the acknowledged specialists, Leonard Reece Ltd. of Huntingdon, to the correct 'solid tappets' profiles. A new intermediate gear made from aluminium was fitted and the valves retimed. The vibration damper was overhauled and recalibrated. Distributor towers were rebuilt with new bearings, oil seals and centrifugal arms. Dynamo and starter were overhauled by J. Lucas. The radiator was re-cored using a more efficient matrix design. The carburettor overhauled and fitted with a new body and the petrol pumps replaced. The oil pump was overhauled and the oil filter replaced by a paper element. An oil cooler (oil-air heat exchanger) was fitted in the same place in the pipework as the original oil-water heat exchanger. This could be removed and the original pipes replaced if required. The car has not overheated since the oil cooler was fitted.
Cylinder heads were skimmed and all gaskets replaced and the ignition dynamically retimed. The engine is now quiet, powerful and does not overheat."
Chassis:
"The chassis frame was cleaned, repainted and wax coated.
The jacks have been rebuilt with new seals and can be used to lift the whole car, the front or the back, for much longer than it takes to change a wheel. The hydraulic hose feeding the rear axle jacks was replaced using 2000 psi hose and fittings. The wheels including the two spares have been re-spoked as necessary and set true. The wheels have been balanced using the original lead disks. The front suspension has been cleaned out and oil and gaskets replaced. The king pins have been replaced and the needle roller bearings fitted with new needles and casings.
The brake ropes and rods have been overhauled, and the brake drums and brake servo re lined and reset. The handbrake components have been overhauled and the (separate) linings replaced.
The clutch has been relined and adjusted, and the Hardy-Spicer coupling replaced. The propeller shaft universal joint grease nipples have been replaced with standard parts and the shaft rebalanced.
The back axle has been removed and the crown wheel and pinion replaced with a 10:34 gear set giving an 18% increase in speed for given rpm. The back axle thrust bearings and oil seals were also replaced.
A stainless steel exhaust system has been fitted.
The battery box has been overhauled and a new battery fitted. The battery can be trickle charged via the dashboard socket.
Rear shock absorbers and the gearbox mounted ride pump and control cable have been overhauled/replaced.
All suspension components have been cleaned and overhauled.
The central lubrication system is fully operational."
Body and Fittings:
"The car has been rewired and electrical equipment repaired as necessary. Flashing direction indicators have been sympathetically fitted whilst retaining the original trafficators in working order. Headlamp solenoids have been replaced with Lucas items and halogen bulbs fitted. The reflectors have been recoated.
The seats have been re-upholstered in Burundy hideleather Throughout. The front seat back has been re-profiled to provide more room for the 6ft 3" driver. The carpets have also been replaced. The door liners have been replaced and the window regulators and guide rollers overhauled. The dashboard was removed, overhauled and repainted and replaced.
All chrome parts have been re-plated by Doug Taylor in Weston super Mare with copper, nickel and chrome plating.
New rubbers have been put in the running board strips. The door rubber wedges have been replaced. The drain pipes from the windscreen and ventilator have been replaced.
The car has recently emerged from a body repair and bare metal respray by Darren Smallwood of Chard, formerly the world-wide paint process trouble shooter for BASF.
The American Bosch 8-valve superhet radio has been overhauled. The radio is located in the rear compartment between the occasional seats with a small remote control unit on the division. The radio receives medium wave AM signals.
A modern radio and CD player has been concealed below the dash."
All in all a spectacular Phnantom 3 in superb order with the all important engine overhaul having been completed. The interior is opulence in itself & a gorgeous place to be. This is an important car & worthy of a collection or museum.

om Rolls-Royce
Nåväl, damer och herrar, idag dyker vi in i den lysande historien om ett varumärke som alltid har inneburit själva essensen av brittisk lyx och hantverk - Rolls-Royce.Vår historia börjar vid förra sekelskiftet när två visionärer, Charles Rolls och Henry Royce, beslutade att gå samman. År 1904 föddes den allra första Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce 10 hp. Det var en blygsam början för ett företag som skulle omdefiniera bilens överlägsenhet.
Men det var inte förrän 1907 som Rolls-Royce verkligen gjorde sin stämpel med introduktionen av Silver Ghost. Den hyllades som "Världens bästa bil" och satte gulstandard för lyxkörning. Med sin tystlåtna motor och utsökta hantverk var det en symbol för överflöd och förfining.
1920-talet förde oss Rolls-Royce Phantom I, en ikon för sin tid. Det var den första Rolls-Royce med en 6-cylindrig motor och lade grunden för den legendariska Phantom-serien. Detta var eran när Maharadjor i Indien beställde specialbyggda Rolls-Royces som var inget mindre än bilpalats.
Snabbspola till efterkrigsåren, och vi har Silver Cloud, en symbol för det brittiska efterkrigsoptimismen. Silver Cloud var elegans personifierad, med sina flytande linjer och handgjorda interiörer. Det var valet för kungligheter, kändisar och kaptenar inom industrin.
Men om vi pratar om Rolls-Royces lyx i sin fulländning, är det Rolls-Royce Phantom VI som graciöst dök upp i våra liv från 1968 till 1991. Det här var en bil som gjorde uttalandet att "om du måste fråga priset kan du inte ha råd det." Anpassning var nyckelordet, och Phantom VI var en canvas för världens rikaste för att uttrycka sina unika smaker.
Nu är det omöjligt att diskutera Rolls-Royce utan att nämna Rolls-Royce Corniche. Producerad från 1971 till 1995 var det en cabriolet- och coupéversion av Silver Shadow. Corniche var den ultimata grand tourern, en bil för dem som ville färdas över kontinenter i absolut lyx.
Men, ack, även de mäktigaste måste möta sin nedgång, och Rolls-Royce var inget undantag. Företaget genomgick ekonomiska prövningar på 1970- och 80-talen, vilket ledde till övertagandet av Vickers plc. Sedan kom den kontroversiella ägandeperioden av BMW och Volkswagen, som delade entusiasterna.
Rolls-Royce återfick fotfästet under BMW-ägande, och det nya millenniet förde oss Rolls-Royce Phantom VII, en återgång till företagets rötter av kompromisslös lyx. Phantom VII var ett vittnesmål om brittisk ingenjörskonst och hantverk.
Och det, damer och herrar, för oss till idag. Rolls-Royce fortsätter att producera några av de mest overdådiga, specialtillverkade fordon på planeten, en symbol för brittisk imperium som inte har falnat med tiden. Anden av Sir Henry Royce och Charles Rolls lever vidare i varje bil som bär Spirit of Ecstasy, ett vittnesmål om det bestående arvet av brittisk bilöverlägsenhet.
