1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Sport Phaeton

  • Coachwork by Murphy
  • Chassis Number: S 287 FP
  • Engine Number: 22877
This left-hand drive Sports Phaeton is one of just 16 Murphy bodied Phantom I's, and one of just two with the Sport Phaetons coachwork.

The car was sold new by W.C. Darling to Albert Wallerstein of Los Angeles. The car was delivered new on September 4th of 1929.

A few months after the purchase, the car changed hands and became the property of Howard W. McCarger who retained the car until October of 1954. K.G. Stalder purchased the car in 1956 and in January of 1959 was sold to Marvin W. Bridges of Omaha, NE. It remained in his care until November of 1984 when it was sold to Jack L. Keown. It was offered for sale in 1988. The car resurfaced in 2002 when it was at Christie's in Paris, as part of the Hans Luscher Collection.

The car was sent to Canada and into the care of its current owner. In 2010, this Murphy bodied Sport Phaeton was offered for sale at the Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia auction presented by Bonhams. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $293,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.
