WELCOME TO A ONE OFF 1960 ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM V CUSTOM LIMOUSINE DIESEL 4X4

THIS IS A ROLLS ROYCE PHANTOM V ORIGINAL HANDMADE ALUMINIUM BODY PROFESSIONALLY MOUNTED ON A 4X4 3. 1 TD CHASSIS.

THE ORIGINAL CAR WAS MADE FOR THE HEAD OF NIGERIA AND THERE WERE ONLY 3 OF THESE PARTICULAR RR MODELS MADE THEREFORE MAKING THIS ONE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD LIKE IT. ONLY BELIEVED TO BE 57 RR PHANTOM V IN EXISTENCE IN THE WORLD AND THIS BEING THE ONLY DIESEL ONE.

WE KNOW THE BODY 'S ORIGINAL RR CHASSIS NUMBER AND THE ACTUAL PLATE CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE RR OWNERS CLUB. THE BODY IS MOUNTED ON A ISUZU 4X4 LOTUS HANDLING PACK TROOPER CHASSIS 3. 1TD WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX.

THE 1993 CHASSIS WAS FIRST REGISTERED IN THE UK IN 2001 AS A LONG WHEEL BASE AND HAS SINCE HAD A VERY COST COSTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY DONE CHASSIS AND PROP SHAFT EXTENSION BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY USING THE ORIGINAL RR MOUNTING POINTS! YOU CAN INSPECT THE QUALITY OF THE WORK ON MY RAMP. NOT SUBJECT TO LEZ.

THE CAR HAS A COIL SPRUNG REAR AXLE WITH DISC BRAKES. SITS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN ORIGINAL LEAF SPRING BUT THIS COULD EASILY BE LOWERED HOWEVER IT DOES MAKE IT PERFECT FOR TOWING AS IT HAS A FITTED DUAL TOW PACK. AT THE FRONT IT HAS AN ADJUSTABLE TORSION BAR SUSPENSION AND VENTED DISCS.

RECENT 16x7 D-MOD STEEL WHEELS WITH 245. 70x16 TYRES AND ACE REMOVABLE WHITE WALLS (WILL TAKE BIGGER TYRES).

INSIDE IT HAS THE ORIGINAL RR DASHBOARD TWIN REAR SEAT BELTS. BOOT RE-TRIMMED IN GREY VINYL. MODERN DOOR SEALS. POWER STEERING. NEAR NEW GREY LEATHER CAPTAINS LEATHER SWIVEL SEATS ( EXPENSIVE TYPE WITH NO WOBBLE). MOMO LOTUS WHEEL.

CONDITION

THE CAR STARTS AND DRIVES FINE. IT HAS BEEN INSULATED ALL AROUND SO THE NOISE IS KEPT LOW FOR TYPE OF CAR.

THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION FOR AGE.

THE CAR HAS MOT UNTIL APRIL 2017 AND IS CURRENTLY TAXED.

THE CAR CAN BE USED AS IT IS HOWEVER THE NEW OWNER MAY WANT TO DO SOME FINISHING TOUCHES TO THEIR TASTE AND DESIRES. THE ENGINE STARTS FIRST TIME AND THE 4X4 WORKS.

PLEASE NOTE- THE VEHICLE IS OVER 19. 6FT LONG. JUST UNDER 6FT HIGH WITH A 146 INCH WHEELBASE AND HAS 36 INCH SUICIDE DOORS GIVING EASE OF ACCESS ALL WHICH MAKE IT VERY IMPOSING.

WOULD BE IDEAL FOR WEDDINGS. MOVIES AND CELEBRITY EVENTS. WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTING TO SEE IT GOING DOWN THE ROAD TOWING SOMETHING!

I AM LOOKING FOR OFFERS OR MAY SWAP P/X.

THE CAR WILL GO TO THE BEST OFFER!

ANY QUERIES OR OFFERS PLEASE PHONE ME ON 07598861886.
