Boattail Hunting Car Coachwork: Barker Chassis Num: 9LC Engine Num: HC 55   Sold for $1,210,000 at 2008 Gooding & Company. This 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I hunting car with coachwork by Barker has chassis number 9LC and body number 5670. It is in three-seater sports configuration and originally supplied to The Maharaja of Jodhpur. In 1927 it was used by the Maharaja of Bikaner in 1927 and the Maharaja of Idar in 1933. This vehicle was very fast with its straight six-cylinder 7.6-liter engine that produced 108 horsepower. It was also very reliable and used regularly by the Maharajah as a hunting car. The one-off coarchwork was created for the Maharaja of Jodhpur, with the purpose of tiger hunting in India. Specific options ordered for this car include light-weight three-seater sports body, sporty outside handbrake lever, two side-mounted spare tires, an ivory white finish to the steering wheel and real ivory control knobs. There are teardrop-style running board toolboxes, wood-grain paint finish to the upper surface of the bodywrok, ultra-low windshield, and oyster shell fenders. The car remained in the Idar family until the early 1960s. In 2008, this Phantom I Barker Boattail was brought to the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, CA. It was one of the highlights of the auction, selling for $1,210,000 including buyer's premium. This is a very unique and wonderful Rolls-Royce Phantom that has a purposeful design and an elegant ambiance and majesty. It retains its original silver and black color combination and is a matching numbers example. By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2012
