About this car

Chassis 91OR is a long-type Phantom I fitted with a Phantom II radiator surround. It was sent to Paris for all-weather cabriolet coachwork by Letourneur & Marchand and delivered new to a Copenhagen owner in March 1930.

The car was back in the UK by the 1980s, when P&A Wood carried out a comprehensive restoration. It now wears two-tone blue with a dark blue leather interior for the driver. The rear compartment keeps its original cloth trim, along with original door handles, window cranks and lock handles. It won Best in Show at the Rolls-Royce Enthusiast Club's National Concours in 1988.

Later owners were in Italy and then Belgium, where specialists carried out diagnostic and mechanical work from 2018, with roughly €40,000 spent in total. It made a 2,000 km round trip from Belgium to Scotland in 2023. The car is registered in the Czech Republic with EEC taxes paid, and viewings are near Prague.
