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
