Rolls-Royce Phantom I Torpedo By Jarvis

This 1925 Phantom I, chassis 58RC, did not begin life as an open car. It left the factory with a Park Ward enclosed-drive landaulette body and was later rebodied as a torpedo tourer by Jarvis, as part of a restoration that ran for about 20 years and finished roughly two decades ago.

It is finished in light blue over black, with dark blue leather inside, wooden tool boxes on the running boards and a slot-in screen that locates into the flip-up rear cowl to shelter rear passengers. Tonneau covers are included. The car lived for many years in Newcastle, where it was strafed by German aircraft during the war. A bullet hole and shrapnel marks remain on the chassis front dumb irons.

The dealer reports a full mechanical rebuild as part of the restoration, and a large file of bills and paperwork documents the work and the rebody. It is UK registered as SV9902. The listing shows the offer as accepted.
