@Elefant95 I agree, this car is beautiful, large yet sporty. formula automotive. com seems to be building a similar car. The days of new cars looking different, where you just had to have one, are gone. Now they all look the same.

So this car would have had a 7.7-liter I-6 engine originally? I wonder if they retained it when they built the modern body?
I’ve seen a lot of modified Rolls-Royces, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one this old modified this heavily. Very well done, though.
Borrows heavily from the Bugatti Atlantic. Which isn’t a bad thing.

……You mean a Silver Cloud? RR didn’t introduce the Silver Shadow till 1966.
Nice try. ^_~

I understand from …
I understand from your pure point of view how you feel. But a Chrysler!? Gasp! I guess my feeling is, I love this Art Deco body. I find this car to be truly one of the most beautiful automotive designs of the 20th century. So, agin for me, only a Rolls Royce chassis is worthy of this design. I fear we will have to agree to disagree. We both appreciate fine automobiles, just not always how they are presented.
Kaalec – The real …
Kaalec – The real problem here is that the body design does not fit the car. Every attempt to slope a RR radiator fails because it is meant to be square. Even modern RRs have a basically square radiator. If this body was put onto a Chrysler for instance then it would work and look beautiful (I’d cut the fin down a bit though). Perhaps your right about the taste bit though, but to change it from a Hooper Cabriolet body into this is really not right.
PS apology accepted.
Jon. I apologize …
Jon. I apologize for the vulgarity. But actually, the “restoration” of the Phantom IS a matter of taste. This one-of-a-kind 1925 Phantom was given a new body in 1934 by Belgian coach builder Jonckheere Carrossiers, hence its very Art Deco lines. The work won many awards, including top honours at le Prix de Cannes.
This is what the car was restored to not the original 1925 design. It is a unique Art Deco which, to me, is astonishing beautiful. Everything is a matter of taste.
Kaalec – The …
Kaalec – The restoration of a Phantom 1 is not a matter of taste. The car must be original or sympathetic to the period. This thing is neither.
It would also be nice if you would make your comments without using vulgarities.
You taste is …
You taste is obviously firmly imbedded up your arse.
really amazing

As a lifelong lover of Rolls-Royce that is the most repulsive thing that I have ever seen in my life.
Sir Henry would be mortified if he knew that one of his creations was turned into that piece of junk

No offence, but why can’t Americans pronounce “chassis” properly?!
