1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Navigation
This Rolls-Royce Phantom III Sedanca Deville wears Barker Coachwork that was installed in 1937 and subsequently dispatched on the SS Cathay to Bombay, India, where it was delivered to its first owner, the Maharaja Sir Man Singh Bahadur II of Jaipur. When the Maharaja passed away in 1970, the car returned to England, where it served Minister for Trade and Author Alan Clark before being sent to the United States. Currently, it is in the James Petrozzini collection.
The V-12 engine has hydraulic lifters, a balanced rotating assembly, a duplex-type downdraft carburetor, and dual-coil ignition. Engine vibration is reduced due to the isolated rubber mounts, and all gearing, including reverse, was silent type. The engine is backed by a four-speed manual transmission and servo-motor brakes are located at all four corners. For 1937, the independent front suspension was introduced and worked with rear road springs, and hydraulic dampers.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2019
