Description

This stunning 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Imperial Faux Cabriolet blue & white car is possibly one of the most important Rolls-Royces in existence.
The Phantom l on offer here, chassis #79OR, is a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom l Imperial False Cabriolet by Hibbard & Darrin. Construction utilized the Sylentlyte body technique on the longest chassis. The Sylentlyte technique uses cast aluminium for the body structure instead of the wood that would traditionally be used. This was an exclusive crafting technique to Hibbard & Darrin at the time. Additionally, it is believed that only two Phantom l’s were built on this elongated chassis utilizing the Sylentlyte technique - one for King Leopold, and the other, this chassis, for Princess Pageteli of Italy.
Retaining its original engine and drivetrain, it sports a tan top and beige/tan interior. Original photos from the 1970's show it had a dark blue top.
It is a right-hand drive with manual transmission and features a 7.7L inline six engine.
This 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Imperial Faux Cabriolet presents beautifully for the age of the restoration.
