Between 1926 and 1931, the English company Rolls-Royce built the Phantom I, a luxury-class car with an in-line six-cylinder engine. Conceptually, the Phantom was closely related to its predecessor, the Silver Ghost, and it also adopted its virtues - durability and reliability. The Phantom I was manufactured in England and the USA, with coachwork by Park Ward, Mulliner, Hooper and Brewster, among others. This report portrays a Rolls-Royce Phantom I Ascot Tourer from 1930, which was once built in America, and describes the history of the car's creation and life.
The era of special bodies was actually over in the 1970s, but there were still discerning customers who liked to treat themselves to something special. For one of them, Pietro Frua spent 13,500 hours building a convertible based on the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI, which the first owner drove 400,000 kilometers in. This report describes the problematic construction of the special body and its history, illustrated with contemporary and current pictures.
