1938 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Navigation
A superstar of the Phantom series, the Phantom III is the first of only two created to the specification by distinguished English coachwork James Young. The long-wheelbase chassis, with its 40/50 hp 12-cylinder Rolls-Royce engine, was dressed in this classic two-door, four-light, four-seater coupe body and then displayed on the James Young stand at the London Motor Show. It is a unique design with parallel-opening doors that slide alongside the rear body panel, two bars in the passenger compartment and an electric double sunroof. The extensive specification sheet reads like a Rolls-Royce wish-list, including Belco Navy Blue paint with 'dark pigskin' interior - exactly as it appears today. Meticulously restored in the 1990s, the car won First in Class at the Pebble Beach Concours in 2004.
