****************** STUNNING PHANTOM II MARLBOROUGH ******************** Here is another extremely rare and important Rolls Royce, this time a Phantom I body known as a Marlborough and again built by the famous American coach builder Brewster. As most Rolls Royce collectors know, Brewster build ten of these very attractive Broughams (also known as Town Cars) and he also build ten Rivieras. Of the ten Marlboroughs, only three are known to survive and these three (including this car) are men...
Our Take:
- Coachbuilt Rarity: The Phantom II Marlborough is part of an exclusive group of vehicles crafted by Brewster, a renowned American coachbuilder. Just ten of these beauties—also called Town Cars—were ever created. In today's world of mass production, owning one of the three surviving Marlboroughs is like finding a needle in a haystack the size of the Mojave Desert.
- Original Condition: What makes this particular example truly exceptional is its originality. It's rare enough to find a car this old with its original paint and interior, but to have virtually no alterations since it rolled out of the Brewster shop—that's akin to discovering a time capsule. The fact that all numbers match only adds to this vehicle's authenticity and allure.
- Chassis History: Chassis number S123PR isn't just any Phantom; it's a piece of history documented in "Rolls Royce in America" by John Webb. This kind of provenance is like having a vintage wine with a well-documented lineage—it's not just the cork that's original, but the bottle and label too.
- Meticulous Maintenance: A $100,000 engine rebuild by a top-notch Rolls-Royce specialist ensures that this car doesn’t just look the part but drives it too. This level of care is like getting a vintage watch serviced by a master horologist—it ensures longevity while preserving its character.
