1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe

Jonckheere Coupe One-Off

This special Phantom I began life as a Hooper convertible. Shortly thereafter it was sent to Belgium to be re-bodied by Jonckheere in something more extravagant. The result was astonishing and large - six meters in total. Who ever commissioned the vehicle and created the original designs is lost to history. A fire at the Jonckheere Company buried records of its past. What is known about this vehicle though begins in 1934 when it was entered in the Prix de Cannes, its first Concours d'Elegance. This would be the first of many showings and first place victories.

It was later sold to an American who made modifications to the vehicle and painted it gold. The car was arranged with other similar vehicles and shown to paying customers. A dollar would get the curious individual a look at the radical display of bold and mesmerizing vehicles.

In 1991 a Japanese collector purchased the gold car for $1.5 million. It was not seen for many years until it was purchased by the Petersen Automotive Museum. A complete restoration was undertaken and the result was nothing less than stellar. It was shown at the 2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it received the Lucius Beebe Trophy, an award that honors the finest Rolls-Royce. If the complete history had been known, the car would have been eligible to earn the coveted 'Best in Show'.
