Description 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Shooting Brake

Dallas Motorsports presents this Rare 1926 Rolls Royce Phantom I Shooting Brake!


The moniker "shooting-brake" was applied to custom-built luxury estate cars altered for use by hunters and other avid sportsmen.  The New York Times said "the most famous shooting brakes had custom five-door wood bodies fitted to the chassis of pedigreed cars". citing Bentley and Rolls-Royce as examples.

By the 1930s the term "estate car" was coined to describe a vehicle that could still carry a shooting party. yet at the same time be perfectly suitable for ferrying guests and their luggage to and from railway stations.

Pre war. Rolls Royces were sold as a running chassis complete with engine and radiator shell. but the body was totally separate and made by custom coach-builders to the clients taste.

If you were one of the fortunate Londoners who possessed an pre war bespoke bodied Rolls Royce. when it looked a bit tired and worn. but mechanically remained in good condition. rather than scrap it. the chassis. wheels. engine. bonnet and wings would remain in use but craftsmen would lop off the back half of the metal bodywork and replace it with one of wooden construction for service on your Highland Estate

The re-bodied car would be ideal for carrying hunting or coach parties across country estates which is why estate cars of today are called estate cars.

 

'Shooting Brakes' conversions became popular pre war and were the first type of estate cars.

Jonathan Peck. Business Manager

I can remember. as a kid. riding around the Dallas area with my Dad in one of his many Porsches naming off the year. make. and model of “any” cool car we saw.   That fueled my obsession with cars very early in life.

Cars were my passion long before they became a business for me.   My career in the automobile industry started just out of high school working in the Parts Department of Reliable Chevrolet and although I swore I would never sell cars for a living. I eventually gave in and decided to give it a try.   My sales career began in the Automobile Leasing business.   The contacts I met there gave me the opportunity to take a Sales position with the local Lamborghini franchise.   The relationships I built over the next decade have since grown into many long term friendships with people all across the United States and abroad.

Did I mention that selling exotics is the ULTIMATE job a car guy could ever ask for!!  Turning your passion into a business is something that few people get to experience and I am fortunate to have been given that opportunity.  

The team at Dallas Motorsports and I strive to turn your passion into reality!
