The interior of a 1926 Rolls-Royce Phantom I.The car was sold in 2016 by Bonhams for £561,000.The Phantom I ("I" meaning "first series") is a motor car built by Rolls-Royce from 1925 to 1931, which replaced the Silver Ghost. Like the latter model, it was built in both the United Kingdom (2,269 examples) and the United States (1,243 examples).A major difference between the examples produced in the United Kingdom and the United States was the wheelbase (indicates the distance between the axis of a front wheel and that of the rear wheel on the same side.), respectively 3822 mm and 3721 mm.Another difference was the gearbox; the British examples had a four-speed one, while the American ones had a three-speed one. Both had a single-plate dry clutch.In 1934, Belgian coachbuilder Jonckheere modified a Phantom I and transformed it into a coupé. This allowed the car to reach a top speed of 140 km/h. 86.9mphsource: comunedicoreno eu per- i- visiteurs-eco/royal-museuCollage from reddit com
