The Phantom III series was the last large Rolls-Royce built prior to the outbreak of World War Two. It was introduced in 1936 and remained in production through 1939.
Rolls-Royce supplied its running chassis to coachbuilders such as Barker, which designed, built and installed the body on the chassis.
The Phantom III was powered by Rolls-Royce's own V-12 motor which featured twin ignition - two distributors, two coils and 24 spark plugs. The engine displaces 447 cubic inches (7.32 liters)
Among its engineering features are independent front suspension, four-wheel Servo-assisted brakes, four-speed synchromesh transmission, on-board jacking, one-shot lubrication and overdrive.
