The Phantom V was a large. ultra-exclusive four-door saloon made
by Rolls-Royce from 1959 to 1968. Based on the Silver Cloud II. it
shared a V8 engine and General Motors Hydramatic automatic gearbox
with its smaller sibling. Rolls-Royce assembled the car's chassis
and drivetrains with bodies made to standard designs by
coachbuilders H. J. Mulliner. Park Ward. and James Young. former
vendors absorbed by Rolls-Royce. The engine was a 6. 30cc 90-degree
V8 with twin SU carburettors. coupled to a 4-speed automatic
transmission. The car had massive drum brakes and a wheelbase of
3. 83mm. Four speed automatic transmission and power assisted
steering were standard. From 1963 onward the Silver Cloud III's 7%
more powerful engine and new front wings incorporating the latter's
quad headlamps were fitted. A total of 516 Phantom V's were made.
Famous owners included Queen Elizabeth II and her mother. Queen
Elizabeth. the Queen Mother. and also Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the
Shah of Iran. The Governor of Hong Kong used a Rolls-Royce Phantom
V for ceremonial occasions. The Beatle. John Lennon's
psychedelic-painted Phantom V. a 1960s counter-culture icon. came
from the factory finished in white. with Lennon commissioning the
custom paint job to really stand out from the crowd.

First registered on 13th January 1966 this Phantom V was first
owned by Mr Harry Saltzman the co-producer of various Bond films
with Albert Brocolli. The vehicle was then sold in 1968 to
restaurant critic. Michael Winner. with the present owner acquiring
the vehicle in April 2012 after the death of Mr Winner. Presented
in Masons Black with West of England cloth and grey leather to the
driver's seat complemented by inlaid walnut wood features. this
example also has an optional cocktail cabinet and two occasional
seats to the rear and an electric division between front and rear.
Offered with a valid MoT test certificate until April 2016 and with
character and provenance by the bundle. this example is sure to
create quite a stir so as the late Michal Winner would say "Calm
down. dear!".
