Villes ever produced and comes a dorned with ornate exterior
canework as well as tasteful bespoke interior accessories. With its
s tunning, rare coachwork and Sedanca sliding roof, it was featured
in Lawrence Daltons Rolls-Royce: The Classic Elegance. James
Young's design cues included their signature sculpted door handles
and fitted body spears that followed the car's lines dovetailing
from the front fender to the rear quarters. The coachbuilder was
acquired by the reputable Rolls-Royce and Bentley London dealer,
Jack Barclay, Ltd., but continued as before, to produce their
distinctive car bodies for another thirty years, until the bespoke
car coachbuilding era concluded. Delivered new to venerable London
Rolls-Royce agents Jack Barclay, this Sedanca was so visually
stunning, the agent used it as a demonstrator model, until it was
sold to first private owner, Jack Taubman. Presented in a
distinctive two-tone livery, black, crested in rich burgundy,
enhanced alongside with elaborate rare canework, a glance into the
interior does not disappoint. Unique and tasteful bespoke interior
fittings, rare period-correct and charming roller shades serve as
sun visors for both front and rear passengers. The spacious rear
passenger compartment has been refreshed in an elegant and
understated parchment off-white leather with dark red welting.
Other delights include distinctive twin picnic trays and a
magnificent liquor cabinet "companion" complete with crystal
decanters and drinks tumblers, all fitted into the division window
cabinetry. A rare and desirable Smiths Eight Day, seven-jeweled
lever clock is conveniently placed in the center of the division
window. An opera seat unfolds in the enormous footwell, offering
additional passengers occasional seating. All Phantom V models were
built to order, therefore no two are exactly alike but they all
share the same fine craftsmanship, attention to detail, and
luxurious appointments providing the ultimate in passenger
amenities. Focused on passenger requests for the ultimate in
comfort and convenience, the Phantom V is known to be one of the
most elegant motor cars ever designed. Chassis No. 5BX44 One of
