Rolls-Royce Phantom VI: features and what to know
The Rolls-Royce Phantom VI is a hand-built luxury limousine introduced by the company in 1968. In this article, we look at its features, engine, and what collectors need to know.
Phantom VI in brief
The Phantom VI was the last classic construction Rolls-Royce limousine with a separate body frame. It was produced in small quantities by hand and often used as a ceremonial car for heads of state and royal families.
Today, it is an extremely rare collector's car, purchased not as a daily transport but as a valuable historical artifact.
Which version to choose
The Phantom VI was produced in a single generation, but due to its hand-built nature, each car can differ. Some bodies were made to order, so the key points are the specific car's provenance, documentation, and condition.
When shopping, pay attention to the true history and whether the car is original.
Engine and transmission
The Phantom VI has a V8 petrol engine. In its early years, the displacement was around 6.2 litres, later increased to approximately 6.75 litres.
The transmission is automatic, with power sent to the rear wheels.
What to check when buying a Phantom VI
First and foremost, check the car's provenance, documentation, and history. Due to the extremely limited production run and the risk of dubious provenance, an independent specialist is essential.
Check the body for rust, and also inspect the engine, automatic transmission, suspension, and brakes. The condition of hand-finished interiors (wood, leather) is very important.
Parts and restoration are very expensive and require specialists who are knowledgeable about classic Rolls-Royces.
