Rolls-Royce Phantom I

The quintessential automobile to mark the union between two people is the original Rolls-Royce Phantom. The late 1920s car oozes sophistication and harks back to a time when cars were more than simply a means of getting from point A to point B. The legendary Phantom is an exercise in opulence and exaggeration and the Phantom Landaulette de Ville is the finest example.

Imposing dimensions of the classic car are only the beginning. This is a car for the outgoing, unabashed and the extroverted. The Landaulette denotes the rear section of the roof which can be folded down to take in the air and the sights - and let the sights behold you. Leather and wood abound inside the classic, hand-made interior, which used many modern materials for its time.

The mechanicals propelling the 3.8 metre long saloon was a state of the art six-cylinder engine paired to a four-speed manual transmission.
