Vehicle Description
                  Rolls-Royce
      1980 Chassis/1983 Delivery
        Phantom VI-40 Limousine
   Mulliner Park Ward Coachbuilders

             
This is one of the rarest and most expensive Rolls-Royce, the Phantom VI-40.  Coachbuilder Mulliner Park Ward carried out the lengthy and expensive process of hand building each example to special order. 
 
The first PVI-40, an update of the previous PVI, was introduced in 1978 with a significant number of changes and presented to H.M. the Queen on her Silver Jubilee. Changes included a larger 6,750 engine, GM400 three-speed automatic transmission and high-pressure hydraulic braking system.  Further current refinements were added over the last decade of production.
 
The price of the Phantom VI rose steadily to about one million dollars toward the end of production, with none to a few made per year. This car has only approximately 7500 miles and is one of these rare PVI-40 “last series” cars.  It was delivered new to Switzerland with very rare left hand drive. 
The few cars made led Rolls-Royce to conclude they would not import the PVI-40 to the U.S. due to crash test and other requirements.
 
The running chassis was completed in 1980, but not delivered until 1983, due to the many special features that were added to the basic specification. It is equipped with front fog lights, bifold picnic tables, television, cocktail  cabinet and requisites, reading lights, Savoy Velvet rear compartment, two-tone privacy curtains, cassette player, velvet pillow cushions, stainless steel sills and wheel arches, etc.  Separate front and rear air conditioning and central door locking were also incorporated.   The exterior color is black with immaculate beige leather to the front and the beige Savoy Velvet to the rear compartment.  Meticulous details abound throughout the car.  

The condition of the car is nearly as new throughout,  meaning every area of the car, concours level 1, suitable for use or as a show car at the finest concours events in the world or simply enjoyed.  Everything on the car is in perfect working order and all original books, manuals, tools, crystal, etc. are present with the car.  There are also some original sales brochures which are now quite rare and some equally rare and original pigskin leather personal requisites that come with the car.
 
Rolls-Royce as a matter of policy, privacy concerns and terrorist activity during the period of production did not list nor keep a record of the original owners of these most expensive of the Rolls-Royce cars.  In our research we talked with the Rolls-Royce Enthusiasts Club in England and their archive director indicated that this was very likely a head of state car as it was common to use a neutral country such as Switzerland for deliveries.  The car was purchased in Zurich and flown non-stop to Los Angeles International. It has been cared for meticulously by a Southern California collector since, detailed and service regularly.
