Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine 1964

General description : 1964 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Limousine Left-Hand Drive with Coachwork by James YoungThis Left-Hand Drive 1964 Phantom V James Young Limousine by James Young wears an older restoration and an attractive driver. Burgundy with tan leather interior. It runs and drives but servicing is recommended prior to use. According to factory records, the Rolls-Royce was ordered in New York City by Benjamin M. Reeves, founder of the B.M. Reeves Company, Inc., a food importer and packer. Mr. Reeves, who had founded his eponymous company in 1924 and would sell his interest in the company to focus on philanthropy less than a year after taking delivery of this car, no doubt sought the ultimate conveyance to get around NYC when he purchased this car. Originally ordered in understated Black over tan hides up front and fawn leather in the rear, the car was well outfitted electric windows, Sundym glass, picnic tables in the rear along with a cocktail cabinet complete with a pair of decanters and four glasses (plus an extra four glasses in one rear door and an ice flask in the other), a vanity mirror, notebook, and pencil in the rear center armrest, and plenty more. Delivered to Mr. Reeves in London in August of 1964, the Rolls would soon make its way across the Atlantic to his residence at the tony Hampshire House at 150 Central Park South. It is not recorded for how long Mr. Reeves kept his Phantom V, but by the dawn of the new millennium the car had found its way to the Lone Star state in the collection of Beaumont, Texas based collector Dan Mouton. A Rolls enthusiast, Mouton would enjoy this PV for over a decade before the car eventually found its way into the collection of the previous owner about a decade ago. Rare by design, exclusive and elegant, James Young's renderings on the later Phantom series have always been coveted by collectors.  1964 Rolls-Royce Phantom V LimousineCoachwork by James Young, Ltd.Chassis no. 5LVC21Engine no.

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.
