Information

Rolls Royce Phantom I Warwick limousine by Brewster, year 1928. Colour two-tone white and black, black vinyl rooftop. Beige velour interior. This impressive Phantom I was coach built by Brewster of New York with a delightful Warwick limousine body. The automobile was delivered to it's first owner, Dr. A.B. MacGray from Detroit on September 5, 1928. In the early 1970'ies this unique Rolls Royce was sold to a British classic car dealership in Goldhurst, Kent. They sold the fully original car to a collector from the Netherlands in 1973. The Rolls Royce was fully restored by the renown British specialist Jonathan Hartley. The restoration was completed in the year 1977. When finished the Rolls Royce was shipped to the Netherlands to be added to a private collection of vintage cars. The business of the owner went into receivership in the year 1993. The automobile was then sold to a collector from Belgium who owned the car for about 20 years. Since the restoration about 35 years ago the car has driven only 5900 miles. The automobile was perfectly maintained, the car is still in superb (excellent++) near concours condition! The Rolls Royce was marketed as the best car in the world, this Phantom I is a shining example of that statement.
From the year 1927 until 1931 only 1241 Phantom I chassis were built.

This vintage car was sold to Russia
