This car was one of the first "New Phantoms" to be built in 1925. It was delivered to a U.S. customer. Later, the car
was sold to a lady in Scotland. The car was restored to its former glory sometime in the early 1960's, back to the
exact specification and color scheme it had when it left the factory.
This touring car has done quite a bit of touring, itself:
- England: Built in 1925.
- U.S.: Delivered to a U.S. customer in 1925.
- Scotland: Sold to a lady in Scotland.
- U.S.: In 1967 the car was shipped back, once again, to the U.S. to its new owner via the SS Queen
Elizabeth.
- England: Twenty years later she changed hands again, returning to England.
- U.S. The car returned to the U.S. again in 2000.
- Shanghai: In 2006 to car was shipped to Shanghai, China for exhibit in the Blackhawk Pavilion inside the
Shanghai Auto Museum.
- U.S.: The car returned to the U.S. again in May 2008 after a two-year exhibit in Shanghai.
One wonders how long it will be before she gets itchy feet and sets sail across the Atlantic
again.
At the time these photos were taken, the price was $225,000.
