Rolls-Royce Phantom II I Sedanca de Ville by Gurney Nutting. 1936

General description : 1936 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sedanca de Ville by Gurney Nutting.

Chassis number: 3AX109
Registration Number: DXE782

A Beautifully restored Phantom 3 which represnts the Last word in Opulence & elegance.  Extensive works were done to it  to put it into the wonderful condition we find it in today.  The engine in particular is a paragon of unruffled silence simply wafting the car down the road & running cool at all times.

Coach work is by noted builder J Gurney Nutting & takes the form of a spacious & Capacious sedanca De ville.  The car is finished iin Old English White with beige wings & wheel spats, a scheme which really suits the car.  To the interior is cognac hide throughout & re-finished highly figured burr walnut.  The car has occasional seats making this a full seven seat conveyance should one have need to do so.

Under the bonnet the engine is detailed to show standards.  Pleasingly a complete set of both large & small tools come with the car in thier appointed places.

An original Jack Barclay sales invoice comes with the car & the Rolls Royce Chassis records show the car to have been built for The Most Noble, The Marquess Of Queensbury.  He kept the car for 5 years before trading it in during 1940 to Jack Barclay where it was purchased by a Mr Donaldson of Liverpool who part exchanged his mercedes 500K Cabriolet, such a car not being particularly "In Vogue" given that it was 1940.  Donaldson was clearly able to source petrol during the war as the car was fitted with blackout equipent to the lights.

Indicated mileage is 60,000 which I would believe to be correct given the absence of wear to the control pedals & the taut tight feel of the driving experience.  The authoratative Book "The forgotten Engine" by Steven Bodddice detailing the Correct Rebuild & Maintenance proceedures for the V12 motor comes with the car as does the original Rolls Royce Manual.

Thhe car has in recent years formed part of a small collection & has been very sparingly used by thhe last owner for high days & holidays.

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.
