The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI was the chosen transport of Royalty and Heads of State. This example was previously owned by a Nigerian Prince, Prince Bassey, and was ordered with every conceivable extra Rolls-Royce offered plus a few they did not. Cut glass decanters and sherry glasses occupied the burr walnut cocktail cabinet. Privacy glass to the rear with electric glass division ensured the passengers remained cosseted in their luxury filled World, the chauffeur receiving his instructions by intercom. At today's prices this stately mode of transport would set you back a cool $2 million.

Unlike the Phantom IV, the later Phantom V and VI coach-built cars were available to anyone with the money to buy them. As well as heads of state and royal families, the Phantom was chosen by the newly wealthy: among the more famous owners of a Phantom V was Beatle John Lennon.

Built on a huge 3,683mm wheelbase, the vast majority featured Silver Cloud style bodywork built by Mulliner Park Ward.

It was produced from 1959 to 1968 and mechanically mirrored the V8 Silver Cloud II. Some 516 examples were built.

The Phantom VI, which stayed in production from 1968 right through to 1991, was built in small numbers - 373 - and was a mild evolution of the Phantom V.

Interestingly, some early examples had rear-hinged coach doors. It was to be some three decades before technical advances allowed the current Phantom to bring the elegance of coach doors back in complete safety.
