1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Navigation
The Phantom III, the final car that Henry Royce actually worked on, was introduced in 1936, and it was the last V12-powered Rolls-Royce until the Silver Seraph was launched in 1998. The Phantom III chassis ceased production in 1939 but continued to be bodied through 1941.
This Phantom III Barker Sports Saloon was built for Sir George Macpherson-Grant, the Laird of Ballindalloch Castle in Scotland. Sir George ordered his special sports saloon to be built by the coachbuilder Barker & Company of London with a few extras, like the moveable spotlight on the driver's side A post and a large sunroof. For the interior, he chose an Art Deco-style wood pattern that is repeated on the tray tables and the rear companion mirrors. An electrically operated sunshade covers the rear window. The finished car was delivered in September 1937 and, although similar sport saloon bodies exist, this one is unique. The car has always been carefully maintained. Its current owner has driven it on several tours all over the United States, including the 2019 Pebble Beach Motoring Classic.
