1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Mayfair

I had hoped to restore this fine old, rare, Rolls-Royce but so much to do and so little time. Time to pass it on. This 1930 Springfield Mayfair Rolls-Royce Phantom 1, # S 117PR was quite the car in its day. Big, massive, with really nice lines. A very impressive sight going down the road. This example is mostly complete, and does require a total restoration-but well worth it. Very few of this body style left in the world. The aluminum body is something else. I would keep it unpainted as the straight aluminum bodies look so cool. The body appears in good shape, solid wood except a bit of replacement is needed on the passenger door side strut-not a major thing. No rust or rot on the steel or aluminum that we can see. The interior is basically shot and will have to be redone to your liking. The fabric top was removed and the woodwork prepared for a new one. The top wood frame seems solid and OK. The rear seats are still intact for pattern matching. The front seats for the driver were leather and a simple matter of recovering. The gas tank was rebuilt and is inside the car for storage. The car comes with four brand new tires from Coker ($2200). It appears the engine head was serviced and installed. The engine turns freely but will need some work to make running. Four wheel brakes seem OK but the mechanical parts of the car appear all there but untested.
