- Rolls-Royce to showcase an outstanding collection of Phantoms at Goodwood Revival.
- The display will include His Majesty The King’s Phantom IV.
- Goodwood Revival takes place Friday 12 - Sunday 14 September. Limited tickets available at com.
Goodwood Revival is delighted to be welcoming a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms to the event in celebration of the iconic model’s centenary.
The display will feature five significant iterations of the model, including His Majesty The King’s Phantom IV, maintained by the Royal Mews.
The cars set to be on display include:
Phantom I
Known for its graceful design and meticulous craftsmanship, the Phantom I, commonly referred to as the New Phantom, became emblematic of the Roaring Twenties. The 1926 ‘Phantom of Love’ - which was displayed earlier in the year at the Festival of Speed on the Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn - will join the exhibit to showcase the first-generation Phantom, featuring its bespoke design and 7.7-litre straight-six engine.
Phantom II
The final iteration of the 40/50 HP line, the Phantom II succeeded the New Phantom in 1929, introducing a more powerful and refined engine, paired with an improved chassis for enhanced handling. A Continental variation originally ordered by A. Y. Gowen, an American industrialist who became one of the marque’s most valued customers in the interwar period, will be on display and features a sunroof and a unique yellow-tinted sun visor.
Phantom III
Produced from 1936 to 1939, the Phantom III was the last large pre-war Rolls-Royce to be manufactured. One of the most powerful and technically advanced models of its time, it featured Rolls-Royce’s only V12 engine. The example on display has been in the possession of several owners between 1937 and 1995, undergoing a comprehensive restoration before being acquired by its current owner in 1995.
Phantom IV
Remaining one of the most exclusive Rolls-Royce models ever built, the Phantom IV holds a unique place in automotive history for its royal associations. Nicknamed ‘Nabha’, His Majesty The King’s Phantom IV - originally ordered by the then Princess Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh - will join the lineup. The car features a specially modified driver’s seat, which was tailored for the Duke of Edinburgh. The vehicle remains in regular use by Their Majesties, The King and Queen and now operates exclusively within the United Kingdom.
Phantom V
Otherwise known as a Touring Limousine, the coachbuilt Phantom V was based on the Silver Cloud II but with a longer wheelbase, most commonly built by Park Ward and James Young. The James Young PV22 Phantom will be the fifth Rolls-Royce to join the display and was originally ordered by Marks & Spencer in 1963 for its Chairman Lord Marks, becoming one of the most sought-after Phantom Vs produced.
The Revival continues Goodwood’s celebration of the Phantom’s centenary, following the Cartier Style et Luxe concours at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, which exhibited a series of Phantom I models, including the ‘Phantom of Love’ and Experimental Sports Prototype Torpedo Tourer.
The collection of Phantoms will be on display outside the Goodwood Aerodrome over the Revival weekend. Saturday tickets for the Goodwood Revival are now sold out, with limited Friday and Sunday tickets remaining at goodwood.com.
