With the launch of the new Rolls-Royce Phantom in May 1925. it
became instantly obvious that Rolls-Royce had put to good effect
the experience that the company had learned in the eighteen year
production period of the Silver Ghost. Though not just a spearhead
of innovation. the Rolls-Royce Phantom. later usually listed as
Phantom I. featured an all new pushrod-operated overhead valve
engine with detachable cylinder heads. From 7. 68cc. the engine
provided sufficient power to accelerate from walking pace to top
speed with ease. rendering three of the four gears virtually
redundant apart from starting from stationary or on Alpine passes.
In this respect. as well as in every other detail. the new Phantom
was a worthy successor to the universally acclaimed Silver
Ghost.

Chassis 2YAL was believed to have been originally delivered new
to an ancestor of Lord Lucan in August 1928 with Landaulette coach
work but was converted in approximately 1960 to a boat tail open
tourer. The car was purchased by the current vendor with plans to
convert the car to a barrel sided tourer with the ash frame fitted
in 1979 and the engine (#MQ15) overhauled by specialists Brunts of
Newcastle earlier in 1972. The 2YAL comes with a green log book
with the registration number RR 9687 and a test certificate dating
back to 6th September 1966
where it was issued in Hull. Yorkshire.

Offered at no reserve this Rolls-Royce Phantom I project offers
a unique opportunity to bring this magnificent machine back to its
former glory.
