1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II All Weather Tourer by Thrupp & Mayberly

Kendi Brown — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:06:13 +0000

PRICE REDUCED! This is a beautifully restored, award winning 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II, chassis 3XJ, that is one of the famed Maharaja examples. Being royally commissioned, this bespoke Thrupp & Maberly all-weather tourer is one of the most beautiful designs having been sent back to its coachbuilder to be “updated” from the Hooper original body in 1935. This is an ideal example that would be welcomed at any concours event worldwide as well as a delight to drive.

Finished in Ultra Black with red dual pinstripes and retaining its original British registration plate, DS8794, this Phantom II remains in beautiful fully-restored condition with exceptional provenance and concours history. This Phantom has benefitted by being restored and maintained by several of the very best, most capable engineers in the Pre-War Rolls-Royce industry. During its restoration, 3XJ benefitted from the installation of an excellent power steering system. The power from its massive original 7.7-liter engine (ZH 25) and its precise and easy power steering makes it a pleasure to drive. As an all-weather tourer, the Phantom can be configured an open tourer or enclosed saloon with division. 3XJ is ideally suited for concours exhibition, RROC touring, or inclusion in a serious prewar collection focused on Indian Royal provenance.

Built in 1929, chassis 3XJ was originally ordered by His Highness Maharaja Rameshwar Singh Bahadur of Darbhanga, one of India’s most influential princely rulers and a devoted Phantom II patron. Delivered new to Calcutta aboard the S.S. Mulberra, the Rolls-Royce was first bodied by Hooper before returning to England in 1935 to receive the current Thrupp & Maberly all-weather tourer coachwork, a transformation documented by The Autocar in January 1936. This Phantom remained in the Darbhanga collection for 38 years before returning to England in 1967, at which time mileage was recorded at approximately 8,000 original miles. Chassis 3XJ later passed through notable collectors in the United States and Europe and underwent a comprehensive restoration between 1997 and 2009. This Phantom has a significant history at many of the most important RROC and concours events, including earning Best in Class at the 2009 Meadow Brook Concours, and exhibited at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in the “Motor Cars of the Raj” class.

The exterior of chassis 3XJ is finished in deep Ultra Black with dual red coachlines and presents with beautiful depth consistent with an older, high-quality restoration. The gorgeous Thrupp & Maberly body features a distinctive swept cowl molding, skirted fenders, polished brightwork, and an all-weather folding roof that allows conversion from open tourer to fully enclosed saloon. The original and rare Grebel headlamps, parking lights and cowl-mounted searchlights as well as its dual horns remain in excellent cosmetic condition. Side-mounted dual spares, painted wire wheels with polished ACE wheel covers, and blackwall tires all remain in excellent condition.

The interior is trimmed in soft and supple brown leather and shows light creasing consistent with careful use. The Maharaja ordered 3XJ with special ivory steering wheel and controls. The ivory four-spoke steering wheel frames an engine turned metal dashboard with a full complement of gauges and ivory-colored controls. The driver and passenger clocks are present but not currently running. Seatbelts have been installed for four occupants, and the divider window glass separates the front and rear passenger compartments. The spectacular rear vanity cabinets feature book matched burled wood cabinetry with inlaid marquetry and four Rolls-Royce logo wine glasses, adding both visual elegance and period character.

The engine and engine compartment have been beautifully detailed during its restoration. 3XJ retains its original, numbers matching 7.7 liter dual-ignition inline six with dual ignition and magneto. The four-speed manual transmission has its special ordered ivory-handled floor shifter with its matching emergency brake lever. Semi-elliptical front springs and the rear cantilever system provide the refined ride quality for which the Phantom II is known. Extensive mechanical and cosmetic work was carried out between 1997 and 2009 by leading specialists in England and the United States including Fiennes Motor Engineers, The Vintage Garage, Sports Classics, D&D Classics, E.F. Murphy, Classic Concours Restoration and Doug Seibert Automotive. The most notable restoration work was completed by Sports Classics who rebuilt the engine with new cylinder head, pistons, bearings, seals and completed engine detailing and rebuilt the transmission with new seals. Flagstaffs, electric fuel pump and power steering were installed. All electric was rewired to the original wire specifications. The generator electric starter and water pump were rebuilt. The lamp fixtures were rebuilt, rechromed, resilvered & rewired by Appleyard Vintage Headlamp Restoration Co. Fiennes Engineering in England rebuilt the fuel vac system, replaced kingpins and rebuilt shock absorbers. Regular maintenance was completed by Siebert Rolls-Royce in Rochester, NY. This Phantom II is known for light steering, smooth operation, and reliable tour performance. Chassis 3XJ is accompanied by original factory build sheets and extensive documentation.

1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom V James Young Sedanca de Ville

Kendi Brown — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 13:03:14 +0000

The 1965 Rolls-Royce Phantom V, chassis number 5VE21, represents one of the rarest Coachbuilt interpretations of the model and a significant artifact of James Young’s final years as a celebrated coachbuilder. Among only 11 Sedanca de Ville bodies mounted on Phantom V chassis, this example is the sole car built to James Young’s PV15 design, distinguished by its formal roofline and true seven-passenger accommodation. Finished in Ivory White and Royal Blue with decorative faux-caning lattice, and presented today in well-preserved condition, this unique Phantom V is ideally suited to continued preservation and concours events.

Chassis 5VE21 was first displayed at the 1965 Earls Court Motor Show, where it is recorded to have earned a bronze medal, before being delivered to its first owner, B.P. Jenks of Astbury Hall, Shropshire. The Phantom later crossed to the United States, appearing in a 1972 New York Times advertisement before being acquired by noted collector Dr. Erle Heath of Pittsburgh. From Dr. Heath, the car passed to another prominent enthusiast, Dr. Samuel Scher of Palm Beach, and later entered the Behring Collection in California. Several years afterward, it joined long-term private ownership, where it has been preserved largely as received. The odometer records just 32,825 miles, believed to be original.

The exterior presents with its original show livery of Ivory White and Royal Blue, accented by the hand painted faux cane side panels that captured attention at Earls Court in 1965. The finish remains attractive and glossy overall, though close inspection reveals some aging in the paint and chrome, with slightly uneven panel gaps consistent with its hand-built construction. Wide whitewall tires and the quad headlamp front end, introduced with later Phantom Vs, contribute to its formal yet modern presence. The current presentation retains strong visual appeal as a well-kept, concours-ready unique Rolls-Royce example.

Inside, body number 9053 offers a true seven-passenger configuration, trimmed in white and blue leather with a leather-upholstered rear compartment. The RHD front driver’s seat shows light wrinkling and discoloration, while the rear seating appears original, with some drying and mild cracking. Features include dual front and rear air conditioning systems, power-adjustable rear seating, a fitted and lighted bar, Mazal clock, Motorola tape deck, rear radio control, and picnic tables. The appointments reflect the height of 1960s luxury, intended to accommodate passengers in both comfort and style, and today they remain presentable for regular enjoyment or national and regional shows.

Power comes from the 6.2-liter V8, engine number E10PV, paired with an automatic transmission and supported by Rolls-Royce’s traditional emphasis on smoothness and silence. The engine compartment and undercarriage appear largely original and tidy, suitable for special events or concours show standards.

Accompanied by its build sheet and Rolls-Royce Foundation records, this Phantom V is both a piece of motoring history and a completely unique coachbuilt creation, standing as the only PV15 Sedanca produced by James Young.

For more details and information, please text, call or email Harry Clark at +1.602.245.7200 or harry@classicpromenade.com. The Rolls-Royce is in our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections, and we help coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing.

Presented in concours condition, the Flying Spur combines rarity, award-winning provenance, and tasteful updates that make it both highly collectible and genuinely usable. Finished in striking Midnight Sapphire with Ivory leather interior, the Flying Spur represents one of the most desirable iterations of the Silver Cloud series.

The former owner, a noted collector of significant Rolls-Royce and Bentleys, acquired the Silver Cloud III in 2016. Under this stewardship, the Flying Spur earned First in Class at Amelia Island in 2017 and the H.J. Mulliner Park Ward Award at the 2024 RROC Annual Meet which is awarded to the Best of Show Coachbuilt Rolls-Royce or Bentley at the RROC Annual meeting.

The exterior is presented beautifully in Midnight Sapphire, accented by chrome trim that retains exceptional depth and clarity. The Midnight Sapphire exterior has a deep luster and shine that is in excellent condition. The chrome trim is in excellent condition. Distinctive US-delivery clear parking light lenses, now seldom seen, adds to the rarity of this Flying Spur. The Flying Spur’s restoration and subsequent preservation ensure that it maintains concours standards while remaining highly usable for both display and touring.

Inside, the cabin is a showcase of Rolls-Royce craftsmanship. The burled walnut interior is in excellent condition and displays a rich, deep luster. The Ivory leather upholstery is supple and flawless, accompanied by tan Wilton wool carpeting and Dark Blue mouton sheepskin overlays, both in excellent condition. The Flying Spur has an integrated trunk-mounted air-conditioning unit and all instruments function correctly. The interior is in overall excellent condition and would be welcome at events worldwide.

The Flying Spur has a 6,230 cc OHV V-8 with twin SU carburetors, delivering 200 bhp through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Flying Spur has drum brakes for all four wheels, independent front suspension with coil springs, and rear live axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. The Flying Spur is complete with a full tool kit, jack, spare tire, the original owner’s handbook and historical documentation. The Flying Spur would be welcome at concours events and is ready for touring.

The 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II chassis LSRA217 represents a refined example of the model that introduced V8 power to the celebrated Silver Cloud line. Showing 97,645 miles, the Rolls-Royce presents in great condition and remains ideally suited for touring, club events, and traditional Rolls-Royce motoring.

Chassis LSRA217 was delivered to the United States in June 1960 to Charles Edwin Davis of San Marino, California, originally finished in Velvet Green with Beige interiors. One of just 2,417 Series II examples produced, the Rolls-Royce combines the marque’s legendary craftsmanship with the improved performance of the 6.2-liter V8 and GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. The Rolls-Royce passed to Colleen Horner of Newport Beach, California in 1973 and later to Leo Goodkind of Waterloo, Nebraska in 1978. The current owner acquired the Silver Cloud II in 2001. The Rolls-Royce has been maintained as a respected touring example and participated in the 2001 AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, PA.

1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I LWB with Division

Kendi Brown — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:56:58 +0000

This is a one family from new, Beverly Hills chauffer driven 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I Long Wheelbase with Division (Limousine) that has been consistently maintained and restored, only as needed. This is a fabulous example of an investment grade Silver Cloud; Fully documented from its original sales invoice through today, this rust-free California example has excellent service and restoration history, regardless of cost. Whether to be used on tours, local dinners or at concours events, this is a Rolls-Royce worthy of serious consideration.

Of the 2,238 Silver Cloud I’s, only 38 LHD long wheelbase with division examples were produced for the worldwide market. Of these, only a small number were for US delivery. LCLC19 was ordered on the 3^rd of June 1959 by MM Kasler, VP of the Free Sewing Machine Co of Beverly Hills, CA. The order was placed through the Rolls-Royce dealer Peter Satori of Calif, Inc. at a cost of $19,681. This Rolls was loaded with options, including the desirable rear air conditioning, power steering, electric windows, rear seat vanities, radio controls for the rear passenger and a sheepskin mouton overlay for the rear passengers.

The son of Russian immigrants, Jay Kasler was raised in Canada where he started and owned several companies, including Free Sewing Machine. In 1954, Jay Kasler and some of his friends went to Sacramento to get a bank charter and started City National Bank in Beverly Hills and Jay was its first Chairman of the Board.

This Silver Cloud was driven for nearly 15 years exclusively by Mrs. Jay Kasler’s chauffeur, Raymond Russell Jones. Mr. Jones served as the chauffeur for the Kasler family from 1940 until the early 1970’s, except for when he was in the US military during WWII. Mr. Jones was the only person driving the Rolls until his retirement. The Rolls continued to be serviced by the Rolls-Royce dealer or marque specialist for decades, with service records kept meticulously in its file (included in the sale).

In 1988, Mrs. Kasler’s daughter, Mrs. Alex Roger, who had inherited the Rolls, invested approximately $25,000 repainting it in its original Shell Gray, refinishing the wood, updating some of the interior and many mechanical updates we well. She enjoyed it for a short time before she passed. It was then inherited by her son, and then, ultimately, by her great-grandson who cares for the car through today. It is likely impossible to have better provenance than this.

The Shell Gray metallic paint is nearly perfect. The shine and luster are excellent with very few imperfections. The paint is what we would consider concours for such an original motorcar. The Shell Gray is complemented with a proper beautiful blue pinstripe. The chrome and stainless steel are also excellent. We love the black walled tires, which just look right on this Rolls.

The Gray Leather interior is beautiful today and is very soft and supple. The leather was replaced in 1988 when Mrs. Roger restored her Rolls. The leather is in very nice condition today with only normal creases from occasional use and loved maintenance. The burl Walnut wood throughout was refinished in 1988 and looks fantastic today. The original Blue Wilton wool carpeting in the front compartment could benefit from replacement as it is original and shows wear. The rear passenger compartment features a lovely original sheepskin mouton overlay with a special diamond pattern.

Hidden inside the rear seat center armrest is a complete original Roll-Royce vanity set in as-new condition. The front compartment contains the controls for the air conditioning system and its Radiomobile radio.

The engine compartment is well detailed, and the 4.9 liter six-cylinder engine performs well along with its four-speed automatic transmission. The driving impression is truly wonderful. The power steering makes it easy to drive, the Rolls feels relatively light and confidence inspiring. Instantly, it felt much as one must have felt to drive as when it was new. The long wheelbase version is extended through the rear doors by four inches to 127-inches, making the riding impression noticeably smoother. Between its consistent maintenance, this Rolls is a delight to drive.

In the trunk are the original tools, the spare, flashlight, jack and everything originally delivered with this Rolls. Even more significant, the original owner’s manual, sales brochures, Workshop repair manual, original sales invoice, factory data card and build sheets, and all service invoices for six decades of loving care are included. A car cover is also included.

Rarely do we see such incredible provenance.

For more information and details, please call or text Kendi Brown at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. This Silver Cloud will be available for inspection at our Phoenix showroom. We are pleased to offer FaceTime or WhatsApp live video inspections and we help coordinate shipping worldwide. We also have financing partners if you are interested in financing.

1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Long Wheelbase Saloon w/ Division

Kendi Brown — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 23:23:02 +0000

This 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II LWB Saloon with Division is a US delivered factory left-hand drive example and one of only 98 produced in this body configuration. This Rolls is very well equipped with factory installed rear air conditioning, power steering, power windows, and power division window. The exterior is Smoke Green paired with a blue-grey interior with burl walnut woodwork throughout. The Silver Cloud II is powered by its original 6.2L V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The rare Silver Cloud II is in overall fair condition that will be a desirable Rolls after further cosmetic and mechanical recommissioning.

This Silver Cloud II was ordered new by Mrs. M.W. Runnells through Rolls-Royce’s American distributor J.S. Inskip and delivered to her in Chicago, Illinois in May 1960. Her address was 919 N. Michigan Avenue. Her building was known as The Palmolive Building, but from the mid-1960s through to the late 1980s, better known as the Playboy Building, where Hugh Hefner’s publishing business was based. The Silver Cloud was delivered with a full chauffeur specification that included the factory glass division, rear air conditioning, power steering, Sundym tinted glass throughout, and electrically operated windows on all four doors plus the division glass itself. The owner’s initials, M.W.R., were inscribed on each front door. The Rolls-Royce Owners Club records chart later owners as George Huguely of Washington D.C. in June 1967, and Leonard Horwich in 1972. A Department of Defense admission sticker on the bumper dates to 1979. The current owner acquired the Silver Cloud II in 2022 and has since brought the Rolls-Royce to starting, driving, and stopping condition.

The exterior of the Silver Cloud II is finished in Smoke Green, and the paint is in overall fair condition. The brightwork is in overall good condition with age-appropriate patina from normal use. The Spirit of Ecstasy mascot is in great condition with crisp, well-defined features, and the radiator brightwork is in great condition. The Silver Cloud is equipped with headlights, parking lamps, fog lamps, taillights, and functioning windshield wipers. This Silver Cloud II has both fender-mounted mirrors and dual mirrors. The glass is in overall good condition showing minor wear. The Silver Cloud has green matching wheel covers, and the tires will require replacement prior to extended driving. As a Coker Tire dealer, we are happy to assist the next owner with recommendations.

The interior of the Silver Cloud II is blue-gray which highlights the Walnut Burl woodwork throughout and is in overall fair condition. In the front driver’s compartment, the blue-gray leather seats are in overall good condition with only minimal cracking consistent with age. The Walnut burl dashboard woodwork is in good condition. The door panels are in good condition overall, while the door caps, armrests, and carpeting have specific areas that are in fair condition. Features include Smiths gauges, power windows, a working clock, an aftermarket Sony radio and factory power division window that is currently not functional. The rear passenger compartment features division woodwork and rear folding picnic tables that are in good condition. The blue-gray broadcloth upholstery is in overall good condition with minor small perforations noted. The rear door panels are in fair condition and the headliner is in good condition. This Silver Cloud II has a dome light and the rear reading and vanity lights are inoperative. The original factory rear “boot” air conditioning system is present but currently not operational. The interior is fitted with all the desirable features that long wheelbases are known for and is incredibly comfortable. This Silver Cloud II has a great foundation to build off of for further restoration to be ready for shows and touring.

The Silver Cloud II is powered by the original 6.2L V8 with twin SU carburetors paired with a four-speed GM Hydramatic transmission. The Silver Cloud starts both cold and warm, able to drive and the servo-assisted braking system is functional but will require servicing before regular driving use. The oil pressure and operating temperatures are very good and the engine operates well. A new battery was installed in April 2026.

This Silver Cloud II is best described as a project Rolls that can be easily a “rolling” project or an excellent candidate for further restoration. The Rolls is sold AS-IS. Included are build records, service records, a clean Arizona title, select tools, and the wheel-mounted spare stored in the trunk.

For more information and details, please call or text Kendi Brown at +1.623.404.9042 or email us at sales@classicpromenade.com. This 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II Long Wheelbase Saloon with Division is available for inspection at our showroom in Phoenix.

1925 Rolls-Royce Springfield Silver Ghost

auctions — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 09:27:31 +0000

“Nellie” is a beautifully restored award-winning 1925 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Springfield Oxford Touring bodied by Merrimac. Earning a class award at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours and Best in Class at the 2023 Amelia Island Concours, this Silver Ghost can be enjoyed immediately on the show field or on CCCA CARavans or Silver Ghost tours. Nellie presents as being nearly perfect while being a perfect touring car for Silver Ghost tours worldwide. With a well-documented history since new and her RROC chronology since 1951, this is a true late Springfield Ghost featuring left hand steering, its original engine, and a gorgeous restoration performed by Competition Motors. The ownership history of this Ghost includes many of the marque’s top collectors. Finally, the drivetrain has been restored by top specialists in North America, including Frank Cooke and Steve Littin.

Ordered new by Mrs. Nellie A Cluett, whose family were the longtime owners of Arrow Shirts but was personally well known for the Grenfell Mission where she helped supply much needed food and supplies to missions along the east coast. Nellie’s Ghost was delivered new to her home in Troy, NY on May 15, 1926.

While Mrs. Cluett lived until 1959, by 1951 the Ghost was acquired by Alfred J. Meyer, Jr. of Plymouth, MA. Mr. Meyer and “Nellie” are included in the RROC Directories until 1971. By November of 1979, Nellie had become part of the esteemed Rick Carroll collection in Jensen Beach, FL.

By December of 1984, Nellie had become part of the incredible collection of Friendly Ice Cream founder Prestley Blake in Somers, CT. In 1991, Jacques Bambling of Easton, MA acquired her. Mr. Bambling was a professor at the University of Idaho and had collected many vintage photos of the Ghost. By September of 1998, S142ML had been acquired by Donald and Ann Hare of Rollinsford, NH. The Hare’s enjoyed Nellie for about 23 years and sold it in August of 2021.

Over the years Nellie has been restored and repainted many times. She has been completely and thoroughly restored, including the engine being rebuilt (Frank Cooke circa 2006), new radiator core, rewired, etc. Don and Anne had Nellie meticulously maintained and serviced until last year by the experts at Competition Motors in Plymouth, MA. Competition Motors extensively restored her for concours showing and touring including beautiful new paint, interior, upholstery, convertible top and extensive mechanical restoration.

The historical file for Nellie is very extensive. She is documented in Rolls-Royce in America by John DeCampi, in photos from Duke University in the 1950’s, a 1981 postcard from the Henry Austin Clark Museum, and in the Flying Lady from 1993, 2002 and 2004. She has participated in the RROC’s 2004 Sea to Shining Sea Tour and earned a National Second Place in the Concours Class at Williamsburg RROC Annual Meeting. Needless to say, Nellie has unquestionable provenance, is a proven tour veteran and is a concours award winner- a wonderful combination!

Her livery is a beautiful deep burgundy with black fenders and wire wheels. The paint is fantastic and in excellent condition. The brightwork is all nickel and in excellent polished condition that is ready for the concours field. The convertible top is perfect and is black on its exterior and tan for the headliner. Nellie has a trunk rack with a correct black leather trunk with a black canvas cover that is also in as-new condition. The overall condition of the exterior is nearly perfect in every regard, definitely a very high point restoration.

The drum headlights and cowl lights and tubular front and rear bumpers are all in excellent condition with their nickel finish. The iconic Rolls-Royce radiator grill shell, early-style horizontal grill slats and the Spirit of Ecstasy are all correctly finished in polished nickel.

The nickel-plated windshield is in two pieces, allowing for increased ventilation. The rear passengers benefit from a rear windshield that is also beautifully nickel plated and in excellent condition. Nellie looks terrific with the top up or down!! She comes equipped with a black canvas full interior tonneau cover and a second black canvas tonneau cover for just the rear passengers. These tonneau covers are great for tours and shows.

The interior features beautiful burgundy leather that is in as-new condition and is very soft and supple showing no wear. The carpets are a matching burgundy Wilton wool with burgundy leather binding. Nellie has two folding jump seats, allowing for up to seven passengers. The original wood grained dashboard is in very nice condition, with full instrumentation that are all in very nice cosmetic condition. All the instruments are functioning, including her Chelsea 8 Day clock, the Stewart Warner speedometer, US Gauge Co. fuel pressure and oil pressure gauges, Weston Electric Amperes gauge and her The Motometer Co. temperature gauge.

The numbers matching engine and engine compartment are absolutely gorgeous!! Power is provided by the venerable 7.4-liter L-head inline-six that is said to be rebuilt by Frank Cooke in about 2006 and is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The combination of the polished brass, copper, aluminum, and black paint are stunning. The engine sounds great, and she runs and drives very well with excellent power. The brakes, suspension and chassis are all in excellent condition and we know of no mechanical issues at all. Cosmetically the chassis looks very nice and is well finished. The leather gaiters wrapping the springs all appear to be complete and in excellent condition.

1926 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost

Kendi Brown — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 15:12:28 +0000

This 1926 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost Doctor’s Coupe, chassis number S296PL, represents the final year of Silver Ghost production in Springfield, Massachusetts. One of only 1,701 Springfield examples built between 1921 and 1926, this remarkable automobile has undergone a full frame-off restoration to exacting factory standards. Finished in rich caramel and brown with a tobacco Connolly leather interior, this Silver Ghost embodies the essence of early Rolls-Royce craftsmanship and remains one of the most historically significant examples in existence, believed to be the only Springfield Silver Ghost Doctor’s Coupe in the world.

Built by Rolls-Royce of America at its Springfield, Massachusetts facility, the Silver Ghost was the model that established the marque’s reputation as “the best car in the world.” This example was originally bodied as a Pall Mall Tourer by Merrimack Body Company, though the current Doctor’s Coupe body by Hume of Boston was likely the winter coachwork added later. Delivered new in 1925 in California, chassis S296PL is believed to have been first owned by silent film legend Gloria Swanson, followed by noted hotelier D.M. Linnard, builder of the Fairmont and Ambassador Hotels. Subsequent owners include F.K. Burnham, M.C. Mogensen, and W.J. Hennessey of San Francisco. In 1977, the current owner acquired the car from the widow of Robert Atley, the Depot Engineer of the Springfield Rolls-Royce Factory, who had maintained and driven it for decades with his family in California.

Under the stewardship of the current owner, a longtime Concours judge for Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Jaguar, the Silver Ghost underwent a highly documented frame-off restoration. At great expense, purported to be over $300,000 by the current owner, the work returned the car to exact original specification, including the fitted walnut cases and the complete picnic basket ensemble with original silverware, china, and crystal. The chassis was later exhibited as a display at the Blackhawk Behring Auto Museum, further affirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.

The exterior is finished in two-tone Caramel and Brown paint, displaying excellent gloss and detailing throughout. Dual covered side-mounted spares, leather strap-on mirrors, and a period-correct leather windshield visor add both form and function. The cream-painted wire wheels are fitted with newer 33×5 tires, while subtle accents such as the brass trim, detailed badging, and balanced proportions reinforce the visual grace that made the Silver Ghost an icon of its era.

The interior is upholstered in rich Tobacco Brown Connolly leather with Cognac Wilton wool carpeting, both in excellent condition. The left-hand-drive driver’s bucket seat and folding jump seat complement a half rear bench, creating an intimate yet practical cabin arrangement. A walnut burl dashboard features recalibrated brass-bezel gauges, and fitted walnut cabinetry completes the luxurious period presentation. This cabin is both a tactile and visual tribute to Springfield’s master craftsmen.

Power comes from the renowned 7,428 cc inline six-cylinder engine, producing 40/50 horsepower and paired with a three-speed manual transmission. With dual Bosch distributors and leaf spring suspension, the Silver Ghost was renowned for its smoothness and reliability, qualities that cemented Rolls-Royce’s reputation worldwide. This particular example remains a mechanically correct automobile, with a restored fuel system that has yet to be completed to working consistency. Included with the sale are its complete original tool set, historical documentation dating back to the 1920s, and the complete fitted picnic and service kits.

This Rolls has accumulated 91,000 miles from new.

LSFU223 was originally delivered with Black Pearl livery and was benefited from a color change during its restoration at Vantage Motors in North Miami. Bare metal, window out respray that is in beautiful overall condition today. The shine and luster of the Sand color is eye catching especially in the sunlight with only minimal chips in high use areas.

The beige leather upholstery is in good condition with normal creasing with age and use, but it is without tears. There is front air conditioning and has been upgraded to a modern stereo system.
