antp ◊ 2014-02-05 17:18	Car info sent by current owner: Zitat 1937 Rolls Royce, Phantom III, 3BU134 The car cost £2085, was ordered by Allied Motors, 19 August 1936, and shipped on the SS “Somali”, 24 July 1937 to Bombay, for Maharaja Lt-Col. Sir Shri Rajaram Chhitrapati of Kolhapur (30 July 1897 to 26 November 1940), his first Rolls-Royce or Bentley. The most complex Rolls-Royce engine ever, the V-12-powered Phantom III was an extraordinary engineering achievement and continues to be regarded as one of the finest automobile designs of the 1930s. Code-named “Spectre” during development, it debuted at the 1935 Olympia Motor Show and garnered immediate acclaim as the world’s most technically advanced, series-produced automobile. It broke new ground as the first British car with a unique system of hydraulic, self-adjusting valve tappets with eccentric bushings in each individual rocker, actuated by a small hydraulic piston, ensuring zero valve-lash at the rocker/valve interface. It has a manual 4-speed, synchromeshed transmission. 4-wheel servo-assisted brakes are applied by cable (using a servo under license from Hispano-Suiza). The radiator shell is Staybrite steel. The Phantom III is unusual for its twin ignition systems, with two distributors, two coils and 24 spark plugs. Fuel is provided by a twin SU electric pump. Wire wheels are fitted as standard, but many cars carry Ace wheel discs. Before WWII, Rolls-Royce only made the engine, drive train and rigid cruciform-braced, box-girder chassis with independent wishbone front suspension and semi-elliptic rear springs. This car had the steering at the middle E rake and was tested 8 February 1937. Barker Co. fitted it with seven-seat open tourer design, E7618, body no. 7269, painted ivory having a brown roof with fawn lining, scuttle and wing lamps, a Safebeam Super fog lamp with Nebulite orange/amber glass on a chrome-plated bar between the headlamps, flagstaff, and special mascot. The interior was all in ivory leather, fitted with a division with occasional seats, a Philco radio, and a light. The back seat was 21 in. deep, with adjustable base and squab. While there were 727 Phantom III’s made over 4 years, there was only 2 open tourers, this one by Barker and 3AX123 by Cooper. Most PIII’s came off the production line in 1937 - the big year for sales before the worsening international situation made people shy of buying big expensive cars. Barker was on its way out by 1937 - bought in 1938 by Hoopers. 1971 - The car returned to the UK, registered 5942 DH. 1975, March - Sold at auction in Geneva, 1975, May - For sale by Coys of London in, for $US 38,000, 1989, Oct. - For sale by Tom Barrett, Arizona, for $550,000, 1990 For sale @ $600,000, mileage only 13,000. 1991, January - Did not sell for $475,000, 1992 - Did not sell at an auction in Tokyo. 1992 For sale for $395,000. 1995, August - Sold at auction for $136,000, 1996 Blackhawk collection had it for sale for $275,000 1997 1998 who went bankrupt.
