Jalopnik (where they are 'obsessed with the cult of cars')

1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Jonckheere Coupe

The 1925 Phantom 1 was originally bodied and sold as a Hooper Cabriolet to one Mrs. Hugh Dillman of Detroit, MI.
The car never left England before it again changed hands and was purchased by the Raja of Nanpara.
It was at this point that the Rolls discovered its true fate at the hand of the Belgian coach builder Jonckheere Carrossiers.
The car was rebodied in the entirely fabulous hand crafted aero-coupe livery you see today...
